Feasibility in the implementation of 4.0 technologies in the intralogistic activities of Logistic Operators of the Department of Atlántico, a look towards the organizational efficiency

The intralogistic activities of the logistics operators are defined in the grouping of all the processes linked to the reception, storage and distribution of raw materials and final products. Therefore, the study of intralogistic processes as an activity is part of the value chain of a company and, through its management, the result of the operation and an adequate level of customer service will depend on it. The project proposes to evaluate the feasibility of the use of technologies of the industry 4.0 in the intralogistic activities that allow the integration of processes of automation and control for the continuous improvement of the decision making in the processes of storage, load and unload of the logistic operators of the department of the Atlantic - Colombia for the improvement of the enterprise efficiency. Therefore, a review of the literature is carried out framed in three categories: intralogistics, Industry and Technology 4.0, and the application of an instrument to measure the absorption of technologies 4.0 in the company under study, which was validated as a result the importance of Simulation, Automation and load sensing, Collaborative Robotics, Big Data powered by M2M (Machine to Machine communication) and Predictive maintenance - predictive analysis and M2M communication as a solution to the needs that are represented in the environment of the Logistics Operators of the Department of Atlántico -Colombia, based on the challenges and projections imposed by the dynamics of the international market and especially thefree trade agreements that the New Granada nation has signed and framed in recent years with the intention of making itseconomy and especially the organizations of its different regions more efficient

Reaction time on fencing and karate high level athletes

The great speed of the actions in combat sports makes very difficult to react quickJy without mistakes. If the fighter had longer time to react, their reaction would be more accurate. This fact gives relevance to choice lime reaction (CRT) studies on these kinds of sports. The importance of the athletes1 physical or psychological abilities varies depending on the sporl played. According to the requirements of the speciality, players who reach Ihe maximum level will be those who have the characteristics requested to compete on it. These abilities could be innate or "life-long" acquired by training. Previous studies have not confirmed yet in which sports reaction time is more important, in addition, previous measurements should be considered with caution because some of Ihem included movement time in the reaction time results (Martmez de Quel, 2003). An approach to gel further knowledge about this subject, it is comparing the results of e\perts in two or more disciplines with unspecific tests, in which previous sport experience is not required in order to perform the lest

Analysis of the rear leg rotation movement during the fencing lunge

The most relevant aulhois of fencing agree on the extension of the rear leg's knee from the on guard position, which is the ona thai provides ihe real speed to the lunge, and the extension of the arm only serves to drive the points towards the target. All the authors coincide thai it is important to keep the whole sole of the rear Foot supported on the Boor, keeping the same direction and without sliding it during the movernent, being the only one support that assures a really fast and balanced lunge, allowing the return to the on guard position or to continue towards ahead. Nevertheless, in a competition it may be observed that there are just a few fencers that keep the position of the feet in 90° angle during the lunge, as proposed in the fencing books. From this situation, we try to know if the rotation movement of the rear leg improve the speed of the Mass Centre and the weapon

Current Applications of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Cartilage Tissue Engineering

Articular cartilage injuries caused by traumatic/mechanical progressive degeneration result in joint pain, swelling, the consequent loss of joint function, and eventually osteoarthritis. Articular tissue possesses a poor ability to regenerate that further complicates the therapeutic approaches. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising alternative treatment. Recently, it has been reported that a wide variety of strategies ranging from merely using cells in the injured area to employ biofunctional substitutes in which cells are harmonizing with scaffolding and growth factors to create an engineered cartilage tissue

Desarrollo de un pipeline de datos para la predicción de incendios forestales en Pinamar

En los últimos años, la severidad de los incendios forestales ha llegado a niveles preocupantes tanto a nivel internacional como nacional. No obstante, gracias al avance de la tecnología es posible predecir la ocurrencia y magnitud de los mismos a través de modelos de Machine Learning especialmente desarrollados para tal fin. Para lograr este objetivo, el presente trabajo describe el desarrollo de un pipeline de datos automatizado en el lenguaje de programación Python que genera el dataset de incendios forestales específico al Partido de Pinamar, permitiendo así el posterior entrenamiento de modelos predictivos de incendios. El mismo es a su vez configurable para reunir datos meteorológicos, topográficos y de combustible de otras áreas geográficas.Sociedad Argentina de Informática e Investigación Operativ
