This book is a compilation of some of the best papers presented at the 15th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management in 2021. The Conference was promoted by ADINGOR (Asociación para el Desarrollo de la Ingeniería de Organización), organized by the University of Burgos, and it took place online on July 8 and 9, 2021. The book highlights some of the latest research advances and cutting-edge analyses of real-world case studies on industrial engineering and industrial management from a wide range of international contexts. It also identifies business applications and the latest findings and innovations in operations management and decision sciences. Industry 4.0: The Power of Data will help academic researchers and practitioners in industrial engineering and industrial management to keep abreast of state-of-the-art developments in these subjects.

World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolu­tion, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wear­able sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manu­facturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individu­als. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frame­works that advance progress.

This book discusses the operation of power systems amid the 4th industrial revolution and the value of Industry 4.0 technologies to grid operators and end customers. The concept of smart grids was introduced years ago, but their practical implementation into power grids was delayed as the information communication technology infrastructure was not ready. The transition to smart grids can be put into three dimensions: decentralization, decarbonization, and digitalization. Industry 4.0 technologies can enable more advanced features that can add value to all parties in smart grids and achieve a more holistic efficiency increase for the entire system via accomplishing business goals and realizing technical requirements. Technical topics discussed in the book include: Structure of the generalized IoT value chain and IoT applications for low carbon technologies. Topological improvement of electrical equipment to facilitate a smooth transition to the smart grid infrastructure. Improvement of techniques to tackle advanced power system problems such as energy management, power equipment diagnostics, and renewable energy integration. Modeling, simulation, and analytic tools for cyber-attacks and cyber security actions for current cyber-physical power systems. Artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning application to power system problems. Intelligent controllers for an advanced residential system.
