Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network (eVIN) is an indigenously developed technology which strives to digitise vaccine stocks and monitor the temperature of the cold chain through a smartphone based application. The platform supports the central government’s Universal Immunization Programme by providing real-time information on vaccine stocks, flows and storage temperatures across all cold chain points of the country.This vaccine logistics system has been introduced by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and implemented by the United Nations Development programmers. In terms of functionality, eVIN aims to provide an integrated solution to address constraints of infrastructure, monitoring and human resource, inadequate vaccine stocks and related challenges.

Smart grids and smart microgrids (SMGs) require proper monitoring for their operation. To this end, measuring, data acquisition, and storage, as well as remote online visualization of real-time information, must be performed using suitable equipment. An experimental SMG is being deployed that combines photovoltaics and the energy carrier hydrogen through the interconnection of photovoltaic panels, electrolyser, fuel cell, and load around a voltage bus powered by a lithium battery. This paper presents a monitoring system based on open-source hardware and software for tracking the temperature of the photovoltaic generator in such an SMG. In fact, the increases in temperature in PV modules lead to a decrease in their efficiency, so this parameter needs to be measured in order to monitor and evaluate the operation. Specifically, the developed monitoring system consists of a network of digital temperature sensors connected to an Arduino microcontroller, which feeds the acquired data to a Raspberry Pi microcomputer. The latter is accessed by a cloud-enabled user/operator interface implemented in Grafana. The monitoring system is expounded and experimental results are reported to validate the proposal.

Warehouse management system (WMS) direct and optimize stock based on real-time information about the status of utilization. The primary purpose of a WMS is to control the movement and storage of materials within a warehouse. With the widespread use of Internet and the growing complexity on corporate information, distributed architecture has become the first option on building enterprise applications. This paper introduces the CSLA.NET framework, and using .NET platform CSLA.NET distributed under the framework, and designing a set of distributed Warehouse Management System solutions.

Constant changes in the market and increased competition make it necessary to dynamically adapt the way of running a business. The pressure of constant changes implies the emergence of requirements for information technology, which is the basic tool for information processing in organizations. The necessity of immediate reaction to business changes, reduction of time of business processes realization, immediate retrieval of information and its sharing, became the foundation of the idea of a company processing real-time information (Real Time Enterprise, RTE). RTE provides real-time information to employees, customers, suppliers, and other business partners, ensuring timeliness and consistency across all IT systems. The possibilities of RTE implementation thus become an important element of the IT operation and the entire enterprise. It seems to be advisable to find determinants of designing a proper IT system supporting the operation of an enterprise that processes information in real time (RTE).

Organizational learning and organizational improvisation are distinct constructs, but the two processes intertwine in important ways. First, improvisational episodes can lead to long-term group/organizational learning when organizations selectively retain improvised action patterns, or when they learn the process of improvisation itself. Such postimprovisation learning can but also may not generate valid/useful learning. Still, unresolved questions remain, such as when does it lead to unexpected discovery, distinct forms of myopic learning, the emergence of unplanned identities, and improvisational competency traps? This chapter reviews evidence that learning can also occur during improvisational action streams, as when organizations draw on real-time information and long-term organizational memory while they improvise. Finally, this chapter highlights two underexplored learning issues: How does the organization create the nugget or template for the novel part of an improvised design? What is the role of short-term memory during improvisation? The chapter advocates that tackling the intersection of improvisation and learning will advance both areas.

Nowadays, telemedicine services are widely used throughout the world. Various types of telemedicine services, such as the storage and transmission of real-time information, remote monitoring or self-control can be applied in the fields of education, health and management, disease screening and disaster risk management worldwide. Telemedicine can play a big role in conducting medical research, as well as in the field of training scientific personnel, allowing remotely collaborate with scientific and clinical institutions and gain access to expensive remote equipment. In this context, it is considered appropriate to develop and apply such innovative ideas as online computing models in telehealth applications; simplified software and hardware interfaces, programs for modelling; portable telepresence systems; artificial intelligence applications that are especially relevant in cases where simulated patients cannot replace real ones; and development of a large number of application simulators. Keywords: Telemedicine, technology, telecommunications, innovation.

IntroductionAgriculture stands out in relation to the high number of occupational incidents and diseases. In this sense, grains postharvest operations, such as receiving, precleaning, drying, storage and shipping the grains, are highlighted in the number of injuries and fatalities.AimTo identify and extract qualitative and quantitative data related to the main occupational hazards present in grains postharvest operations at preprocessing and storage facilities.MethodsA systematic review was carried out in the databases of Science Direct, Scopus and Web of Science for papers published between 1980 and 2019. The abstract should have described a study related to any occupational hazard (physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and mechanical) and at least one of the occupational hazards should be related to any postharvest operations.Results and discussionsIn total, 42% of 38 analysed papers were published between 2015 and 2019. Three journals were responsible for 45% of publications related to occupational hazards present in grains postharvest operations. The most part of analysed publications related to confined spaces, grain entrapment, machine entanglement and falls hazards are related to Purdue University’s Agricultural Safety and Health Program which applied research in occupational safety at grains postharvest.ConclusionsThe creation of standardised internationals can collaborate to reduce occupational risks in grain storage units. It is suggested the development of monitoring technologies to obtain real-time information on noise, dust, gases and heat in postharvest operations and equipment. The use of intelligent algorithms can create prevention mechanisms for possible occupational risks and avoid injuries to employees.

Technological aspects are observed conserning high-automated public transport vehicles operation. The role of real-time information and automatic door closing of the unmanned vehicles is highlited. Also bescribed how automatic counting passengers can be used inside information services for passengers and for more presice controlling at managing «green lines» for proper filled buses and trams can be used.
