Digital Management

To date, digital technologies and their widespread practice have formed the potential for completely new business models. However, most organizations are either in the early stages of the digital transformation process, or do not yet dare to form a digital business model that will provide real benefits from digital technologies. In any case, taking into account the enormous pace of global digitalization, it is extremely important to adapt the best practices of digital transformation to the improvement of the Ukrainian economy as soon as possible. Based on this, consider the process of researching new and adapting existing management models. Digital transformation – the introduction of modern technologies to radically change the business models of enterprise management today is considered the most important topic for organizations around the world. The requirements of the new digital economy represent the digital transformation as a conscious strategic process of business modification through adaptive management and implementation of digital technologies, ie the restructuring of existing business models. The same happens at industrial and agro-industrial enterprises, the analog period of which is coming to an end. Industries are entering the digital age, thanks to which enterprises are developing in accordance with the new focus. For this reason, it is very important for the formation of digital models of enterprise management to strategically understand the possibilities of digital technology development in their connection with business processes and business models. The analysis of the main traditional models of effective management of enterprises was carried out and their fundamental differences from the Ukrainian approach to management were revealed, the possibilities of implementation of the principles of existing business models by Ukrainian enterprises were considered. In addition, a roadmap for the transition from a traditional to a digital enterprise was proposed for consideration. The process of modeling the digital management system of the enterprise is revealed. Currently, a prerequisite for the prosperity of the economy of industry and agriculture and, consequently, the economy of Ukraine, is adaptive digital management as a basis for economic security of the enterprise. It was found that the relentless introduction of digital technologies, «copying best practices» can later be in reality as dangerous as the refusal to master new technologies. Therefore, choosing the direction of your own digitization, you must first study everything thoroughly, so as not to miss the moment and not to remain in the ranks of the latter or in the past.

Integral Assessment

Currently, the use of aviation systems with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of various classes and purpose for the benefit of both special customers and civilian purposes has acquired particular relevance and practical significance. Modern UAVs, used both separately and as part of the group, can carry several target loads on board at the same time, built on various physical principles: multifunctional optoelectronic system, digital aerial photography system, on-board radar station, radio and radio reconnaissance system, communication system for transmitting data from target loads (sensors) to a mobile device (for example, a tablet) to a remote subscriber, etc. At the same time, the issue of determining the evaluation of the effectiveness of solving both individual target tasks of UAVs and finding an integral assessment of the effectiveness of using aircraft systems with UAVs when solving a set of target tasks (sequentially or sequentially-in parallel in time), taking into account their priority and a number of other factors, remains practically unlit. The scientific and technical article consists structurally of three parts and is devoted to the consideration of the issues of finding an integral assessment of the effectiveness of the use of aviation systems with unmanned aerial vehicles. In the first part of article [1], a scientific and methodological approach has been developed to determine estimates of the effectiveness of solving private target problems of radio communication and remote monitoring (by optical and radar means) by a complex with UAVs. The second part of the article presents a mathematical apparatus for assessing the effectiveness of solving problems of conducting radio-technical reconnaissance and aircraft destruction of targets. As a criterion for the effectiveness of solving all private target problems, a universal indicator of the probability of solving them has been adopted, which will ultimately allow for convolution and determine an integral assessment of the effectiveness of solving a whole set of target problems. The methodological apparatus developed in the article is universal and invariant to the input parameters, that is, the number of solved target problems, the stage of operation of the complex with UAVs, and can be easily adapted to the new conditions for the use of other complexes with UAVs. Within the framework of this approach, a mathematical apparatus for functional dependence of probabilities of solving particular target problems with design parameters of target loads in the UAV has been developed, taking into account the peculiarities of its functioning and in the conditions of existing restrictions and assumptions. The scientific and methodological approach allows already at the stage of formation of the tactical and technical task for the complex with UAVs to obtain quantitative estimates of the probabilities of solving private target tasks using the technical backlog of industrial enterprises for key components from the complex (target loads, a set of communication facilities, etc.). Finding effectiveness estimates in the group application of UAVs, as well as taking into account possible electronic counteraction, goes beyond the scope of this article and is the direction of further research on this topic.

This article aims to outline how to deploy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for on sites use in South African construction. The use of UAVs is gaining traction in the construction industry, where cyber-physical systems are promoting digital-to physical transformation. Among others, UAVs help assures the safety of people in construction. For instance, they are controlled remotely while moving faster than humans into inaccessible, hard-to-reach, and unsafe areas of job sites. They can be equipped with various types of sensors to transfer valuable data to safety managers and assist with onsite safety monitoring. Based on realised gains and the need to motivate its use, this article uses presents a schema that could help managers deploy UAVs on construction sites for safety performance purposes. The literature-based report utilised the keywords unmanned aerial vehicles and safety in construction to search the relevant database. The findings reveal that the critical hazards on construction sites can be identified using UAVs to allow proactive execution of accident prevention methods. Given that the captured visual images and video clips provide site management with a bird's eye view of a site, corrective measures can be implemented through 'walkabout' and instant instructions. The virtual images and video clips also help to identify hazards and risks that may cause accidents on construction sites. There is significant scope for using UAVs to improve construction safety when appropriate guidelines are implemented.

Development of a lean and automated progress tracking system is one of the most challenging subjects in the construction industry. Since the current methods depend on individual and manual inspections of the site, they may have various problems. For instance, results include a natural bias since field personnel makes interpretations depending on their educational and expertise level. From the practical point of view, manual data collection and their comparison with construction drawings and schedules are inefficient as it takes too much time. With the recent advancement of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into the market and inclusion of lean project management principles, project management studies are inclined towards the digital and lean approaches. Within this perspective, the objective of this study is to reveal the use of UAVs as a lean project management tool. This paper indicates merely that UAVs have the potential for such a purpose.

Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

The ability to deploy multiple unmanned aerial vehicles expands their application range, but aerial recovery of unmanned aerial vehicles presents many unique challenges owing to the number of unmanned aerial vehicles and the limited recovery time. In this paper, scheduling the aerial recovery of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles by one mothership is posed as a combinatorial optimization problem. A mathematical model with recovery time windows of the unmanned aerial vehicles is developed to formulate this problem. Furthermore, a genetic algorithm is proposed for finding the optimal recovery sequence. The algorithm adopts the path representation of chromosomes to simplify the encoding process and the genetic operations. It also resolves decoding difficulties by iteration, and thus can efficiently generate a recovery timetable for the unmanned aerial vehicles. Simulation results in stochastic scenarios validate the performance of the proposed algorithm compared with the random search algorithm and the greedy algorithm.

A Site

Construction activities increase the erosion potential of a site through earth-disturbing processes of vegetative grubbing, topsoil stripping, and grading. Receiving waters become susceptible and vulnerable to the process of sedimentation, which degrades the overall water quality. Federal, state, and local regulations require the use of erosion and sediment controls to help manage stormwater discharge from construction sites. Regulations further require regular inspections, monitoring, and maintenance of employed erosion and sediment control practices. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an emerging remote sensing tool capable of acquiring high resolution spatial and sensing data. Remote sensing with UAVs has the potential to provide high-quality aerial imagery and data that can assist in site inspections of erosion and sediment control practices and monitoring project progression. UAVs are economical and flexible in acquiring aerial data and can be preprogrammed with flight paths to capture data over construction sites objectively. UAV-based remote sensing enables user-controlled image acquisition and bridges the gap in scale and resolution between ground observations and imagery acquired from conventional manned aircraft and satellites. This research describes the application of UAV technologies for construction site inspections of erosion and sediment control practices and tracking project progression. A case study was performed on an active residential construction site with a commercially available UAV to showcase its application and capabilities of enhancing the site inspection process and construction monitoring.
