Literature review of decision models for the sustainable implementation of Robo...
Patrício, Leonel; Ávila, Paulo; Varela, Leonilde; Cruz-Cunha, Maria Manuela; Pinto Ferreira, Luís; Bastos, João; Castro, Helio; Silva, JoséRobotic Process Automation (RPA) is a rules-based system for automating business processes by software bots that mimic human interactions to relieve employees from tedious work. It was verified in the literature that there are few works related to RPA decision support models. This technology is in great growth and, therefore, it becomes important to study the evaluation of the implementation of RPA. The objecti...
Residual Agroforestry Biomass Supply Chain Simulation Insights and Directions: ...
Chidozie, Bernardine Chigozie; Ramos, Ana Luísa; Ferreira, José Vasconcelos; Pinto Ferreira, LuísResidual biomass is a reliable source of energy and hence requires effective supply chain management for optimal performance and sustainability. While there are various studies on this recent trend, a comprehensive review of the literature on simulation-based modeling of the supply chain for residual agroforestry biomass is lacking. This study aims to present a systematic review of relevant literature surroundi...
Automating Equipment towards Industry 4.0: A New Concept for a Transfer System ...
Vieira, Diogo; Silva, Francisco J. G.; Campilho, R.D.S.G.; Sousa, Vitor F. C.; Pinto Ferreira, Luís; Sá, José Carlos; Brito, MarleneSeveral products with a high length/section ratio and with a relatively low stiffness are used in the automotive industry, causing several problems because of a lack of stiffness. One of the examples where this occurs is in the production of Bowden cables, where automation has played a very important role in the flexibility of processes and product quality. Within this product family, conduits, one of the compo...
