Abstract
Online collaboration growing significantly in the development of open-source hardware and software has led to a surge of research interest. However, no comprehensive bibliometric review has investigated the management of digital communities in these ecosystems. In this study, academic contributions to the field of online community management in open-source hardware and software were mapped, highlighting influential research streams and trends. A bibliometric review was conducted based on a keyword search analysis of research databases (IEEExplore, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science), with a sample comprising an overall 399 papers. The study identifies the most impactful articles in the field, maps the diverse streams of research on online collaboration and community management, visualizes focus areas and trends, and pinpoints areas for further investigation. These findings will support future research within this rapidly evolving domain. © 2024 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.

SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract
Energy and materials are increasingly important in industrialized countries, and they impact the economy, sustainability, and people's future. The purpose of this work was to study the relationship between energy and the circular economy using methods such as Pearson's correlation and a principal component analysis. Thus, 12 strong correlations were found, with 5 of them between the following relevant variables from two different subjects: the correlations of the raw material consumption, the domestic material consumption, and the material import dependency with the final energy consumption in transport (0.81, 0.92, and 0.81); the correlation of the circular material use rate with the final energy consumption in households (0.70); and the correlation of the material import dependency with the final energy consumption in industry (0.89). The time series forecast was only conclusive for the waste generated, showing that it will increase in the next 10 years.

FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION AND INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING: ESTABLISHING BRIDGES FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS, FAIM 2023, VOL 1

Abstract
The digitalization and evolution of information technologies within the industry 4.0 have allowed the creation of the virtual model of the production system, called Digital Twin, with the capacity to simulate different scenarios, providing support for better decision-making. This tool not only represents a virtual copy of the physical world that obtains information about the state of the value chain but also illustrates a system capable of changing the development of productive activity towards personalized production, extending product versatility. Decentralized production seeks to respond to these needs because it allows the agglomeration of several services with different geographic locations, promoting the sharing of resources. This paper proposes an architecture for the development of a digital platform of personalization and decentralization of production based on sharing of sustainable resources. With a single tool, it is possible to define the entire production line for a product.

FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION AND INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING: ESTABLISHING BRIDGES FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS, FAIM 2023, VOL 2

Abstract
Industry 4.0 brought modernization to the productive system through the network integration of the constituent entities that, combined with the evolution of information technologies, allowed an increase in productivity, product quality, production cost optimization, and product customization to customer needs. In this paper a model was created using the open-source tool Knime that, based on a set of data provided by Bosch, parameterized the model with several pre-processing techniques, resource selection, and minimization of over-fitting, allowing the development of a final improved model for internal product failure prediction at Bosch production line. The study shows that model efficiency improved with the application of resource selection and reduction techniques, with Logistic Regression and PCA resource selection techniques standing out, obtaining a Recall of 100% and precision and accuracy, both with 99.43%.

Abstract
In everyday life, the production lines of companies are required to be flexible, rapidly adopting new processes and methods in order to ensure their competitiveness in the market. The main objective of this study was to analyze the impact of automation on a workstation at an industrial company which paints accessories. By means of simulation, one was able to identify several aspects that negatively affect the company’s overall capacity, namely reduced productivity and long cycle times. The digital tools developed through Visual Basic for Applications constituted the starting point for the automation of several repetitive and bureaucratic tasks which support decision-making, initiating the process of Digital Transformation at the organization. In economic terms, this improvement in the workplace can potentially reduce costs in the order of thousands of euros annually, in addition to increasing productivity thus improving the company’s general performance. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning: Using the Buffer Status to Schedule Replenishment Orders

Abstract
Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning argues that production replenishment orders should be scheduled on the shop floor according to the buffers' on-hand inventory. However, the actual performance impact of this remains largely unknown. Using discrete event simulation, this study compares scheduling based on the on-hand inventory, with scheduling based on the inventory net flow position. Results of our study show that scheduling based on the former performs best, particularly when multiple production orders are simultaneously generated and progress independently on the shop floor. Our finds give hints that are important to both, industrial practice and software development for production planning and control.
