The chapter offers the roadmap for digital transformation. The aim of the research is to give insight into the fundamental comprehension of digital transformation. This era of increased technological proliferation combined with internet and mobile penetration presents a favorable ecosystem for the development of e-commerce in India. The country is currently at the cusp of a digital revolution. Launch of 4G services and decline in the tariffs of data plans and prices of data cards/USB dongles have reduced the cost of ownership of an effective internet connection and also availability of low-cost smartphones, and the extension of internet and broadband to the remotest corners will boost the augmentation of the internet user base, effectively bridging the gap between potential online buyers and actual buyers. The demographic dividend of the country also seems to encourage and favor the growth of e-commerce. E-commerce is a business online.

Generation Technology

The Internet of Things (IoT) “things” are often times described as active or smart devices and objects augmented with sensing, processing, and network capabilities. These smart objects are in the heart of the IoT concept but they alone cannot realize the full potential of IoT. The most ubiquitous objects in the IoT ecosystem, those that reside at the lowest system level and interact with the higher-level smart object, are based on the passive RFID technology. In the form of wireless passive sensors these objects are found in smart packaging, they form the backbone of the structural health monitoring systems, they provide non-invasive and continuous monitoring of physiological parameters, etc. RFID capability is already added to everyday items in the physical form of adhesive “smart” labels, enabling them to become “citizens” of the IoT ecosystem, but this “add-on“ approach increases the implementation cost and oftentimes impacts negatively the host item's form factor and appearance. It also does very little in terms of security and counterfeit prevention. On the other hand, the key economic factor that drives the deployment of the IoT is the cost at the end points. Therefore, the future of the IoT depends on developing an ultra-low-cost technology solution that can mass-produce low cost, RFID-enabled IoT objects on flexible substrates, ready for integration into everyday items. In some cases, such as in intelligent packaging, these objects will be non-obstructive and seamlessly integrated in their hosts. This integration will minimize the cost of implementation and will provide an insurmountable barrier to counterfeiters as they will need access to sophisticated and capital-intensive technologies in order to be able to alter or replicate the product's embedded configuration. Presented are two disruptive processes for packaging of ultrathin flexible hybrid electronic systems with ICs as thin as 15–20 μm and as small as 250 μm per side. The first generation technology is a modification of the conventional pick-and-place technique and has been already demonstrated on a commercial-grade roll-to-roll assembly line with packaging rates exceeding 10,000 cph. The second generation technology uses a laser beam to scan and transfer ultrathin, ultra-small ICs for high-precision assembly onto various flexible and rigid substrates. It provides packaging rates significantly exceeding those of the conventional pick-and-place equipment. Reported are also results from integrating the resulting ultrathin flexible hybrid electronic devices into thin materials such as paper and plastics.

This chapter discusses the problems associated with the design of the business model in the new context of big data and the internet of things to create a research laboratory for studying and improving digital transformations. The development of business prospects for IOT is due to two main trends: 1) the change of focus from IOT viewing primarily as a technology platform for viewing it as a business ecosystem and 2) the transition from focusing on the business model in general to the development of business models of ecosystems. In the chapter, the business model of the ecosystem is considered as a model consisting of signs fixed in ecosystems and focuses on creating the cost of the laboratory and fixing the value of the ecosystem in which the created laboratory operates.

Deregulation of the airline industry in Australia has produced lower airfares. However this perspective rarely incorporates spatial insights and usually utilizes archival data. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a first-stage confirmatory analysis of up-to-date airfares charged on 24 major routes within Australia using Skyscanner, a web-based and consumer-oriented tool to access airfares. This tool displays fares during an on-line booking process prior to purchase, just as consumers would experience it. We apply Skyscanner to extract one set of current fares -- lowest fare data -- on the routes and then use linear modelling to establish variables that can be utilized to predict these lowest fare prices. While far from a full accounting of the cost of Australian air services, this test of Skyscanner as a data source, along with the successful confirmatory linear analysis, shows that the underlying configuration of the nation’s urban population, distance, direct connections, and characteristics of links and networks of low cost carriers are powerful influences upon prices charged. We suggest that Skyscanner and similar data sources may provide researchers with alternative low cost data that may shed insight into many air transport pricing questions.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is becoming a popular outsourcing option for customers interested in paying for the right to access a standardized set of functions of the necessary software via the Internet. Due to the low cost of the service and the lack of high initial costs, the business becomes interested in using this technology. Software as a service allows you to significantly reduce the cost of IT services, to rethink the entire process of automating the business-processes of companies and creating software by eliminating high initial investments in infrastructure and its subsequent maintenance. Considering these advantages of SaaS over on-premises applications, business is increasingly talking about the possibility of a full transition to the use of SaaS services. In this paper, the concept of SaaS software, the architecture of this kind of applications, their distribution models and long-term use costs are analyzed, and this approach is compared with on-premises software in the above issues. Based on the analysis of actual data, recommendations were made on the topic of whether to abandon the usual set of technologies in favor of SaaS and which companies should take such actions.

Radar technology at several airports is still using flightradar24 as a source of information, and building an ADS-B station is expensive. However, the flightradar24 has several weaknesses, among which is that if the user wants to display more information, the user is required to pay periodically or subscriptions, and there is delay due to the process of data that requires the Internet connection. With a concept of receiver ads-b based RTL-SDR R820T2, a low cost receiver ads-b with the results can receive an ads-b signal without delay and can receive data from an airplane. But there is a weakness in rtl-b receivers based RTL-SDR R820T2, because it doesn't explain and can't know how far the receiver can receive signals and target parameters data from the aircraft. Thus on this research a receiver ads-b using RTL-SDR R820T2, with a low-noise amplification and an ads-b antenna 1090 MHZ in the hopes of knowing how far the aircraft's target range is from the receiver and knowing how far the receiver's range of data signals the target parameters. By performing some step-by-step testing of the design. The designed receiver ads-b USES low noise amplification with an ads-b antenna 1090 MHZ capable of receiving data and target parameters ads-b for 284 km on adsbSCOP software range and 287.63 km mathematically.
