Abstract
Ensuring food quality and safety is a growing challenge in the food industry, where early detection of contamination or spoilage is crucial. Using gas sensors combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers an innovative and effective approach to food identification, improving quality control and minimizing health risks. This study aims to evaluate food identification strategies using supervised learning techniques applied to data collected by the BME Development Kit, equipped with the BME688 sensor. The dataset includes measurements of temperature, pressure, humidity, and, particularly, gas composition, ensuring a comprehensive analysis of food characteristics. The methodology explores two strategies: a neural network model trained using Bosch BME AI-Studio software, and a more flexible, customizable approach that applies multiple predictive algorithms, including DT, LR, kNN, NB, and SVM. The experiments were conducted to analyze the effectiveness of both approaches in classifying different food samples based on gas emissions and environmental conditions. The results demonstrate that combining electronic noses (E-Noses) with machine learning (ML) provides high accuracy in food identification. While the neural network model from Bosch follows a structured and optimized learning approach, the second methodology enables a more adaptable exploration of various algorithms, offering greater interpretability and customization. Both approaches yielded high predictive performance, with strong classification accuracy across multiple food samples. However, performance variations depend on the characteristics of the dataset and the algorithm selection. A critical analysis suggests that optimizing sensor calibration, feature selection, and consideration of environmental parameters can further enhance accuracy. This study confirms the relevance of AI-driven gas analysis as a promising tool for food quality assessment.

Abstract
The footwear industry, a sub-sector of textile industrial sector, faces increased pressures towards higher levels of sustainability and circularity along all the value chain. Along the last decades, shoe products have become more complex products, integrating a greater number of components, materials diversity and often long supply-chains related to cost reduction and production or sourcing delocalization strategies. Full value-chain digitalization, as a cornerstone of Industry 4.0 paradigm, plays a key role for leveraging more sustainable and circular products, namely by traceability operationalization and forthcoming instruments such as Digital Product Passport. This research studied, via a state-of-art framing of the challenges followed by qualitative approach, how Industry 4.0 technologies can support the development of new services that contribute to sustainable and circular practices in footwear companies. An interview-based survey was conducted to 6 footwear companies, to map the adoption level of Industry 4.0 technologies and cross-linking to circular services business models.

Abstract
The integration of robot manipulators into additive manufacturing processes, particularly in fused filament fabrication, presents opportunities to overcome limitations of traditional three-axis systems. By leveraging the additional degrees of freedom, more versatile and efficient manufacturing solutions can be developed. However, this increased complexity introduces new challenges, including the need for trajectory planning that accounts for reachability, singularities, collision avoidance, and material deposition in various build orientations. This study focuses on the development and evaluation of trajectory generation approaches for robotic FFF using an ABB CRB 15000 manipulator. All approaches began with the same G-code input, and tests were conducted both in simulation and on the real robot. The results were analyzed in terms of trajectory accuracy, joint speed and acceleration profiles, parameters influence, and the quality of the printed parts.
