ABSTRACT The life of man is surrounded by spectacular technological advances derived mostly from Industry 4.0; They have fostered multiple transformations demanding a process of adaptation to the conditions they impose, and for this, they have required the involvement of underdeveloped countries in the participation and management for their global reproduction, with which most of the structural problems have not been resolved that these economies have, are only perpetuated and reproduced. Faced with this situation, Latin America has the great task of reorienting, from a critical vision, the objectives of science, technology and innovation policies to promote and develop STI projects that promote social inclusion and sustainable development in the region.

RESUMEN La vida del hombre está rodeada por espectaculares avances tecnológicos derivados en su mayoría de la Industria 4.0; estos han propiciado múltiples transformaciones, exigiendo un proceso de adaptación a las condiciones que imponen, y para ello, han requerido implicar a los países subdesarrollados en la participación y gestión para su reproducción mundial, con lo cual no se han resuelto la mayoría de los problemas estructurales que tienen estas economías, solo se perpetúan y se reproducen. Ante esta situación, América Latina tiene la gran tarea de reorientar, desde una visión crítica, los objetivos de las políticas de ciencia, tecnología e innovación para impulsar y desarrollar proyectos de CTI que propicien la inclusión social y el desarrollo sostenible en la región.

Abstract: The automotive manufacturing industry faces diverse challenges, including designing new parts, optimizing schedule times, developing aerodynamic car designs, refining painting processes, and advancing autonomous driving. The car painting process is a new optimization area in the computational context due to the complexity and damage caused by various factors. Our research focuses on designing a robotic arm with five degrees of freedom that operates in a two-dimensional plane and is integrated with metaheuristics for path optimization. Our methodology consists of defining and limiting the problem, analyzing requirements, designing the robotic arm, implementing routes, and conducting tests. For the design of data instances, the Methodology proposed by [42] was used in this work. Subsequently, a pool of perturbation heuristics and an iterated local search algorithm are used, which allowed us to design the best combination of heuristics that can provide a competitive solution to the problem of route design for the robotic arm in the automobile painting process. This study includes a comprehensive review of related work, theoretical concepts, and the application of metaheuristics. The results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed heuristics, with the K-OPT heuristic demonstrating superior performance. Statistical tests confirm the significance of the differences among the heuristics. This paper concludes with insights into future research directions, emphasizing the importance of safety practices and Industry 4.0 technology in mitigating health risks associated with the automotive painting process.

Abstract This paper proposes a methodology for developing antipodal Vivaldi antennas using RSIW (Ridge Substrate Integrated Waveguide) technology for a specific cut-off frequency. The technique employs metallic-vias and metalized cylindrical posts of reduced sizes inserted in the dielectric substrate. The simulations were performed using the ANSYS® Electronics Desktop software. The antenna RSIW is designed for a resonant frequency of 4 GHz and was fabricated on FR4 (ɛr=4.4 and tanδ=0.02). The structure is compared to an antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) fed by a SIW. The structure proposed had an increase in bandwidth of 4.09 GHz and an increase in gain of 1.41 dBi.

ABSTRACT: Despite the relevance of Chile’s mining industry, risk models applied to contracts have not been intensively developed. This is a quantitative descriptive research, which focuses on the results of a risk assessment methodology applied for the analysis of potential industry 4.0 technologies to be implemented by contractor companies in Chile’s mining sector. In this paper, an overview about mining 4.0 was done and Chile’s large mining companies were analyzed during 2021-2022, obtaining contracts information from a relevant copper producer. A case was selected to apply the model and semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with the stakeholders involved in this industry. Based on our results we found small contracts concentrated the largest number of low and moderate- priority projects, but also the largest number of high-priority contracts. However, from a mining company’s perspective, it seems that big projects are riskier than small projects under the future effects of Industry 4.0 technologies.

SUMMARY: Industry 4.0 represents a new paradigm in the production of goods and services, through the unification of digital technologies and the Internet with conventional industry. The objective of this work is to analyze the determinants of the implementation of the industry 4.0 in SMEs. We study the effect on implementation of factors such as size, seniority, gender, level of technical training of management, the presence in the SME of an internal responsible for Industry 4.0 and whether it is a family business or not. To this end, an attempt was made to develop an empirical study based on a sample of 1,142 Argentine SMEs. As a methodological strategy, a model was defined to be developed in two stages. In the first, a confirmatory factor analysis was proposed to determine the latent variable: industry 4.0 by company, and in the second, a linear regression model was developed based on the chosen variables as probable determinants. The main results allow us to affirm that the age and size of the organization can have a favorable implication for the incorporation of Industry 4.0. tools to the organization. We also found a positive association between the male gender of management, the manager's training in related technical issues and the presence of an internal person responsible for the digitalization process, in the implementation of technologies associated with Industry 4.0. At the same time, we did not find a significant relationship between the implementation of the industry 4.0 and the family business. The conclusions may be useful for directing public promotion policies on the youngest and smallest companies and facilitating their possibilities of incorporating the new production paradigm, as well as the formulation of policies with a gender perspective.

Materials and methods: A technological development investigation was carried out between the Center for Assisted and Sustainable Manufacturing of the University of Matanzas and Matanzas University of Medical Sciences, between September 2019 and July 2022. The designs and fabrications were made from the acquisition of computed tomography images, or from a surface scanner, which were then processed, converted into Standard Tessellation Language format, printed, and post-processed. Virtual designs were developed using computer-aided design software. Results: Various solutions were developed including prototypes: biomodels for craniosynostosis repair and anatomical figures, custom cranial prosthesis mold, hand prosthesis, O2 line splitters, tissue scaffolds, syringe gun, face shields, breast prosthesis; autologous restoration mold and tissue expander. Conclusions: In all areas of application of this technology in medicine―except the printing of medicines, in the current context―, it is feasible to obtain solutions in the territory of Matanzas. It is therefore imperative that managers and the medical community in general, begin to acquire awareness, knowledge, and experience to ensure the optimal use of this technology.

ABSTRACT Objective: The study aims to elucidate whether and how firms evolve and recombine their innovation capabilities over time to adapt to market changes. To do so, Brazilian agricultural machinery manufacturers transitioning to Industry 4.0 were analyzed through the lens of four innovation capabilities (development, operations, transactions, and management). Methods: A longitudinal quantitative study was conducted with 29 companies, considering two periods: 2014 and 2018. The evolution and recombination of firms’ capabilities were explored, respectively, through the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Results: The four capabilities evolved and were recombined. The evolution of business-driven capabilities (transactions and management) was more significant than the evolution of technology-driven capabilities (development and operations). In 2014 firms innovated by combining development, operations, and management capabilities (DC*OC*MC), and in 2018 by articulating transactions, operations, and management capabilities (TC*OC*MC). Conclusions: Firms changed their focus from technological innovations to business innovations over time. The study discusses the complementarities between these innovation types in the context of firms converting to Industry 4.0.

ORIENTATION: Organisations are increasingly integrating technology to enhance employee productivity and strategic goals. However, the acceptance of such technology is dependent on employees' attitudes. RESEARCH PURPOSE: This study seeks to understand: (1) the influence of employees' levels of technology readiness and technology acceptance on their work engagement and (2) whether technology acceptance mediates the relationship between technology readiness and work engagement. MOTIVATION FOR THE STUDY: Drawing from the Technology Readiness and Acceptance Model (TRAM), the Worker-Centric Design and Evaluation Framework for Operator 4.0 and the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory, we posit that technology readiness and acceptance function as resources aiding employees in effectively navigating workplace technology, potentially fostering greater engagement. RESEARCH APPROACH/DESIGN AND METHOD: Using a quantitative, cross-sectional approach, we examined 143 working adults' technology readiness, technology acceptance and work engagement. Structural equation modelling (Partial Least Squares) guided the evaluation of hypotheses. MAIN FINDINGS: Results revealed a positive relationship between technology readiness and work engagement. Interestingly, technology acceptance showed a negative link with work engagement. Furthermore, technology acceptance partly mediated the direct link between technology readiness and work engagement. Notably, the significant and negative indirect effect suggests a potential suppressor variable role for technology acceptance. PRACTICAL/MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS: Practically, organisations should recognise the dual impact of technology on work engagement. When technology is perceived as a demand, interventions are crucial to counteract its adverse effects on engagement. CONTRIBUTION/VALUE-ADD: The study brings a multidisciplinary perspective to understanding how personal resources in the face of workplace technology can foster work engagement.
