Human-AI Collaboration in Supply Chain Resilience
In this talk, we discuss how human-based and AI-based decision-making support can be combined when managing supply chain resilience. The focus of our talk is an intelligent digital twin (iDT) framework. New digital technologies and artificial intelligence are enabling novel approaches and tools, allowing us to move from isolated models to intelligent decision-support systems. Our talk presents a comprehensive decision-making framework for leveraging digital twins in stress-testing and resilience analysis of supply chains, and outlines the ways digital twins can aid in theoretical advancements in SC resilience and viability. An iDT is a system that combines human intelligence with AI to create a digital representation of physical supply chains, use cognitive AI capabilities and create new knowledge about the system through mutual feedbacks between human and artificial intelligence. The iDT collects and processes data, employs analytics, mimics human decision-making, and develops new knowledge and decision-making algorithms through human-AI collaboration.

Maintenance 5.0: Improving industrial maintenance based on Prescriptive Analytics and Digital Twin
Maintenance 5.0 represents a transformative approach to industrial maintenance which leverages the power of Prescriptive Analytics and Digital Twin technologies. In this context, maintenance practices evolve from reactive and preventive strategies to proactive, and data-driven strategies. Therefore, with the integration of Prescriptive Analytics, in conjunction with Digital Twin, Maintenance 5.0 empowers industries to achieve higher levels of operational efficiency and cost-efficiency. On the one hand Prescriptive Analytics utilizes advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithms for the prediction of future failures and the prescription of optimal maintenance actions, and on the other hand Digital Twin facilitates the virtual representation of physical assets. Through real-time monitoring and analysis of asset data, potential faults and performance anomalies can be identified and addressed before they escalate into critical issues. Furthermore, the utilization of Digital Twin enables virtual experimentation, allowing for improved maintenance planning, optimization of resources, and reduced downtime. Therefore, in this keynote talk the key concepts and benefits of Maintenance 5.0 are presented, shedding light on how the convergence of Prescriptive Analytics and Digital Twin can drive future improvements in industrial maintenance practices.

Demystifying Misconceptions: A Critical Perspective on Additive Manufacturing Technologies
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has sparked significant enthusiasm but also led to overstated claims about its
capabilities.
This communication aims to provide a critical perspective on the misconceptions surrounding AM technologies and
their implications. It will address four key issues commonly associated with AM: (1) the belief that AM represents
an entirely new set of manufacturing processes, (2) the notion that AM can fabricate any geometry with any
material, (3) the idea that AM will disrupt traditional supply chains, and (4) the assumption that anyone can easily
utilize AM.
By demystifying these misconceptions, this communication will highlight the realities and consequences of each
issue at various levels. While AM offers significant advantages, it is important to recognize that it cannot replace
well-established manufacturing technologies entirely. However, the impact and potential of AM are undeniable, and it will undoubtedly shape the future of manufacturing in the coming decades. This communication focuses on essential concepts for manufacturing specialists and can provide valuable insights
for researchers exploring logistics, social sciences, and business topics related to AM technologies. Understanding the limitations and advantages of AM is crucial for informed decision-making and successful implementation in the
manufacturing industry.

R&D Projects Dissemination Event @ISM 2024
The ISM 2024 Organization Committee has embraced the vision to make the conference the perfect environment for knowledge exchange and dissemination. In particular, dissemination activities (integrated with communication and exploitation) are essential for the impact and success of R&D projects. Funding bodies (e.g. the EU commission) usually request partners to organize midterm and final dissemination events in order to broadly disseminate the outputs of the project.
With this in mind, ISM 2024 is organizing this special “R&D Projects Dissemination Event” dedicated to oral presentations of ongoing or final results of R&D projects in all the areas related to the conference topics.
This special event will represent a unique platform for companies, research bodies and universities to:
- disseminate their project progress and results to the relevant scientific communities, potential investors, stakeholders, regulatory bodies, potential users, and lay audience;
- find other R&D project partnership opportunities with other speakers or people of the audience.
Tentative presenters should submit the form below by October 1, 2024. An advisory board will assess the submitted summary in terms of adherence to the topics of the Conference. The presenter will be notified about the acceptance for presentation. Please, note that the submitted summaries will not undergo through a technical/scientific peer-review process; hence, project summaries and presentations will NOT be included in the conference proceedings.
We have limited slots for presentations, therefore be sure to book your opportunity as soon as possible!
