Morgado, Teresa; Galvão, Ivan; Abreu, António; Calado, João Manuel Ferreira; Sá, JoséThe conference themes, which address novel and advanced topics on Sustainability, Quality, and Innovation, focused on eight Special Sessions, namely, "Circular Economy and Waste Management – New Approaches, Innovative Technologies, and Business Models", "Failure Prevents: Reliability, Proactivity and Practice, "Lean, TRIZ methodologies Applied to Sustainability Management", "Modelling and Simulation: A way to p...
A new approach for agile teams' allocation in open innovation projects
Anes, Vitor; Abreu, António; Dias, Ana; Calado, João Manuel FerreiraDue to constant change in the marketplace, it can be difficult for companies to secure the material, human, and technological resources necessary for competitive innovation activities. In this sense, and to overcome these constraints, the open innovation model is a quite successful approach, where the sharing of resources among companies allows the formation of an innovation ecosystem. However, the execution ti...
Supervision System 4.0 for a Road Tanker Washing Robot Manipulator
Vicente, L.; Carreira, Fernando; Campos, Francisco M.; Gonçalves Cavaco Mendes, Mário José; Calado, João Manuel Ferreira; Carvalho, GamboaThe washing of road tankers is currently still a manual process that requires an operator to place the washing head into the tanks. To increase productivity and operator safety, it is essential to implement automated systems with Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) capabilities. On the other hand, the industry 4.0 paradigm promotes the use of collaborative systems that integrate with the other organization’s pr...
Home energy forecast performance tool for smart living services suppliers under...
RODRIGUES, FILIPE; Cardeira, Carlos; Calado, João Manuel Ferreira; Melicio, RuiIndustry 4.0 is a paradigm consisting of cyber-physical systems based on the interconnection between all sorts of machines, sensors, and actuators, generally known as things. The combination of energy technology and information and technology communication (ICT) enables measure ment, control, and automation to be performed across the distributed grid with high time resolution. Through digital revolution in the ...
A reputational-risk-based match selection framework for collaborative networks ...
Anes, Vitor; Abreu, António; Dias, Ana; Calado, João Manuel FerreiraCollaborative networks in the logistics sector have proven to be a solution that both meets environmental footprint reduction goals and addresses the impact of rising fuel prices on logistics companies, especially for small- and medium-sized enterprises. Despite these benefits, these collaborative networks have not received the desired amount of participation due to reputational risk. This paper develops a fram...
A framework based on fuzzy logic to manage risk in an open innovation context
Santos, Ricardo; Abreu, António; Calado, João Manuel Ferreira; Soares, José Miguel; Martins, José Duarte MoleiroVirtual enterprises (VE), is well-known to make use of open innovation to achieve competitiveness, through innovation on product development. However, its limited resources, combined with the innovation resulted from the diversity of partners involved, rises some challenges to its management, specifically regarded with risk management. To fulfill these requirements, risk management's models, have been conceived...
Industrial collaborative robotics platform
Vicente, L.; Lomelino, P.; Carreira, F.; Campos, F. M.; Mendes, Mário J. G. C.; F. G. Osório, A. Luís; Calado, João Manuel FerreiraCyber-physical systems are not designed to integrate an industrial collaborative network when their integration with other systems is required. It is necessary to adopt a strategic model of integration and value creation that allows the interoperability of equipment supported by open technologies, based on the concepts underlying Industry 4.0. To this end, a conceptual information architecture is proposed to ma...
A soft computing framework to support consumers in obtaining sustainable applia...
Santos, Ricardo; Abreu, António; Soares, José; Mendes, Fernanda; Calado, João Manuel FerreiraCurrently, sustainability is considered a priority by society, with the household appliances being one of the economic sectors involved in achieving sustainability. However, the existence of several issues (e.g., energy and water consumption, reliability, initial cost, and illuminance, among others) together with the diversity of brands and models on the market, make the consumer’s decisions regarding sustainab...
A framework for risk assessment in collaborative networks to promote sustainabl...
Santos, Ricardo; Abreu, António; Dias, Ana; Calado, João Manuel Ferreira; Anes, Vitor; Soares, JoséNowadays—and due to an increasingly competitive world—organizations need to collaborate in an open innovation context to be e_cient and e_ective by achieving high levels of innovation with their products and services. However, the existing resources—as well as the innovation achieved from the diversity of partners involved—brings challenges to the management; in particularly with risk management. To fulfill suc...
Management of innovation ecosystems based on six sigma business scorecard
Calado, João Manuel Ferreira; Requeijo, José; Abreu, António; Dias, AnaIn the present context, companies to be competitive must develop high-performance innovation capabilities that enable them to respond quickly to market needs. However, the lack of tools and methodologies to assess the performance of innovation projects in an integrated way remains an obstacle. The paper begins by discussing the principles of Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard for performance evaluation. Next,...
