Batik, the art and craft of drawing patterns on fabric, is one of Indonesia's famous traditions that is still gaining popularity nowadays. Typically, crafting batik, especially hand-drawn batik, requires a significant amount of time to manufacture. Therefore, this paper proposes a machine that shortens the time to produce batik, from drawing the pattern to coloring the fabric. The proposed design employs the CNC concept to replace the hand-drawn to machine-drawn batik. Electric canting is used to replace the traditional canting, where the wax can be fed in continuously. A conveyor and spray nozzles are added to automated the coloring process right after the fabric has been pattern drawn. Coloring agents, such as remasol, indigosol, and naphtol, were explored to provide efficient coloring and good results. The initial experiment of the design prototype showed that the drawn pattern has a 0.3333% error at the lowest from the original. Remasol gave a consistent color to the fabric with 5gr+5gr/220mL of concentration of coloring agent with its fixator to water. The prototype demonstrated that the Batik CNC machine could rapidly assist in manufacturing batik. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The need for recycling trash is growing by the day and is extremely imperative not only for the purpose of curbing the cancerous growth of global warming, but also as it proves to be tremendously advantageous for businesses and for conservation of energy. Therefore, we propose a new model of garbage sorting which minimizes the wastage of water. Also, since sorting the garbage by hand is practically unfeasible, hence our model will incorporate proximity inductive sensor (range - 5 mm) and proximity capacitive sensor (range - 20 mm) along with IR sensors to serve the purpose. This model uses the technology of difference in lateral switching distance as separating different materials is a very strenuous and an uphill task. Our system is capable of distinguishing between plastic, paper, metal, wood, and rubber, etc. The dry garbage is loaded on a conveyor belt of 400 mm, one at a time, the width of which is equivalent to width of the cubic envelope volume (125 mm³) of the garbage. Initially, inductive sensor segregates metals and non-metals. The metals are further divide into magnetic metals and non-magnetic metals through a magnetic pit. The non-metals are then sorted using the Ccapacitive proximity sensor due to the difference in switching distance. The switching distance is a property which is dependent on the dielectric of the material. The entire process is automated and powered by an Arduino and is capable of producing precise results.

Marketing is any activity undertaken by the companies to gain more exposure which eventually leads to increased sales and an increase in the customer base. With the advent of technology and its adoption in various fields, marketing is also one of them. Marketing 4.0 or Marketing Automation is a result of this advancement in technology. Marketing 4.0/Marketing Automation allows different companies to implement their marketing strategies automatically with hardly any human interaction. This has led to many companies adopting the new Marketing Automation platforms as it helps them handle thousands and millions of customers with less effort and ease of implementation. Although it has many benefits like saving time, helps in lead generation and nurturing, helping in customizing the customer journey, helping build a 360- degree view of the customers and increase sales, every company must adopt it? In this paper, we've discussed the various factors that the company needs to consider before deciding if they need marketing automation or not. If they do, what are the set of procedures they need to follow for successful implementation? We also look at some case studies, which will allow us to gain insight into how marketing automation has affected the different parameters of marketing like lead generation and sales.

Day/Night Band (DNB) is one of products provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) series satellite data. It comes from Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor that measure visible and near-infrared light quantitatively. Nighttime monitoring from DNB contains information based on low-light visible source emitted by earth surface. By utilizing that source, DNB imagery shows earth condition in nighttime despite its limitation. In this paper, DNB imagery is automatically generated in near-real time to be discussed about its potential and information they carried. The automation system to generate DNB products is proposed by using open-source software called Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP) Polar2Grid Version 2.3. CSPP Polar2Grid works as main processing system. VIIRS SDR (Sensor Data Records) data is required for the input with.h5 file format. The output of DNB imagery will be in GEOTIFF (.tiff) file format. The whole automation system consists of some modules to look for the newest data available, process it and save it in the storage. Dynamic DNB shows better visualization of the night light than the other type of DNB. Visible night displayed in dynamic DNB imagery clearly shows the existence of activities using light and electricity during nighttime. It could be the street lighting, residential, industry, ship lighting and etc. Future research such as power consumption, fisheries activity or even socio-economy could possibly be equipped by DNB imagery as complementary data.

As we know the importance of machining operation in manufacturing industries and hence the technologies are improving and updating day by day. So, the manufacturer is depending on these new technologies like non-conventional machining operations (NCMOs), computer numeric control Machines (CNCs) and others. Basically, the present work is based on the selection of NCMOs among the different operations available from a set of operation for machining purpose. For the selection purpose of NCMO, the integrated form of MCDM techniques is used the first method adopted is Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) the reason for adopting this method is to calculate the weightage of each criterion from the selected set of criteria given the decision makers. The second technique used in paper is Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) the objective of this method is to determine the raking of the alternatives from the availability. With the help of illustrative example, the selected NCMO are AFM, AJM, EBM, EDM, USM, and WJM from which one NCMO to be selected for machining operation. For conducting the same there are six different criteria were selected after implementation of integrated AHP and TOPSIS technique the best and worst operations is identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The vision of Internet of Things (IoT) is about interconnectivity between sensors, actuators, people and processes. IoT exploits connectivity between physical objects like fridges, cars, utilities, buildings and cities for enhancing the lives of people through automation and data analytics. However, this sudden increase in connected heterogeneous IoT devices takes a huge toll on the existing Internet infrastructure and introduces new challenges for researchers to embark upon. This paper highlights the effects of heterogeneity challenges on connectivity, interoperability, management in greater details. It also surveys some of the existing solutions adopted in the core network to solve the challenges of massive IoT deployment.

A low-cost brain-computer interfacing technology has been proposed for the automation of wheelchair. The authors have incorporated this interfacing technology by extracting brain –signal by placing electrodes properly on skull. 110-190 million physically challenged people, worldwide, need help to move. Researchers all over the world are suggesting and developing various methodologies in order to address this situation. The most common mode of movement is the use of wheelchair. But a wheelchair is not capable to help the said people to move independently. For them the application of brain computer interface (BCI) for the wheelchair movement is required to make the system automatic. The indigenously developed system is based on receiving, processing and classification of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signals and then controlling the wheelchair by developing a generalized microprocessor program. The signals recorded by the system are processed and classified to recognize the intent of the user. The system is designed using the training data followed by test data which is applied for performance measurement of the control system. The ultimate control of the wheelchair is done under real conditions by speed and direction control commands of the wheelchair. The proposed technique reduces the probability of misclassification and improves the control accuracy of the wheelchair. In this paper the authors have focused on making a cost effective wheelchair supported with BCI to help disabled people to lead an independent life through their brain signals using non-invasive techniques.

In recent years, various modern technologies such as internet of things (IoT), Automation, and Industry 4.0, lead IC chips and related components to higher performance and more strict specification. To fit this trend, EMC or some chemical cured material is widely used as the insulation and package material in plastic IC encapsulation industry. However, during IC encapsulation process, shrinkage and warpage will be one of the main problems for quality control. More specific, how to precisely estimate the causes of volume change during the processing and then manage them is still very challenge. In this paper, we have proposed some new designs to extend previous literature’s concept using a single plunger type dilatometer to measure the volume change interacted with pressure and chemical conversion. Results showed that in the new specimen chamber design with smaller diameter and longer height the precision tolerance can beimproved from 1μm to 0.01μm. The output volume change history curve became more smoothly and robotically. Furthermore, through various testing for general thermoplastic and EMC materials based on our new heating system, the real volume change behavior with or without chemical reaction is in good agreement with that of literatures. Moreover, the obtained measured data has integrated into Moldex3D to perform some real IC complicated design encapsulation process testing, results present that when the system was covered both thermal and chemical shrinkage, the warpage trend can be precisely predicted; however, if it is only considered the thermal shrinkage, the warpage prediction will be opposite to the real one. It displayed how the chemical shrinkage estimate is so important in IC Encapsulation industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relevance of the study is due to the increasing number of cyber-attacks on management automation systems, among which computer sabotage occupies a special place. In this class of cybercrime, risk dynamics as the probability of occurrence of damages of a certain value are studied. Risk dynamics is tracked over the past five years for the most developed countries and globally. It is shown that both the frequency and the severity of computer sabotage, despite the pandemic, are steadily increasing. This calls for international and national action. The findings of this paper prove that computer crime of the "computer sabotage" type should be seen as a separate type of computer crime, with a tendency to grow. Today it has become a cross-border phenomenon, and combating it only within national territories will not be as effective as it should be. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Monitoring the psychophysiological state of a human operator in the control process is one of the fundamental factors for efficient and trouble-free production. Emerging fatigue, excessive tension reduces the operator productivity. Therefore in the present paper the task of interpreting characteristics (spatial-temporal characteristics) is considered to determine the state of fatigue of a human operator by micromovements of his head. The Natural Point trackIR device was used as a data entry tool. The obtained data of micromovements of the human operator's head was converted into a spectral form (Fourier transform). The spectral data obtained were classified using a feedforward neural network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
