This study develops an environmental smart reporting system based on blockchain and IoT technologies to address the authenticity and credibility issues in ESG disclosures. Methods such as unsupervised neural network and self-organizing map are used for anomaly detection and data authenticity assessment. Experimental simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed system and methods.
Environment, social and governance (ESG) disclosures required on listed companies have aroused considerable interest in both academia and industry for sustainable development and investing. However, the authenticity and credibility of the ESG report exposed to the public remain in doubt due to black box-like reporting processes with massive human involvements. In this study, a framework of environmental smart reporting system (BI-ESRS) based on the blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies is developed to automate the acquisition of environment-related data and make the reporting reliable and traceable. In addition, we evaluate the authenticity of the data collected from IoT devices, considering human-made counterfeits on measuring instruments for greenwashing. It is anticipated to stimulate companies to submit high-quality data without fake. Specifically, an unsupervised neural network-enabled spatial-temporal analytics (UN-STA) method is devised to achieve anomalies detection and index the data with an authenticity rate. An artificial neural network, self-organizing map (SOM), is applied to construct the prediction model. The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of Bluetooth low energy (BLE), the vibration amplitude of smart instruments and data uploading interval constitute the input vector for competitive learning. Finally, an experimental simulation is carried out to demonstrate the implementation of the proposed system and method, and their effectiveness has also been testified. Moreover, the sensitivity of the SOM model over the three factors has been analyzed by applying the control variate technique. This work is expected to serve as a reference for practitioners to satisfy similar requirements in the industry and inspire new ideas for scholars.0 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Industrial IoT and Long Short-Term Memory Network-Enabled Genetic Indoor-Tracking for Factory Logistics

Wei Wu, Leidi Shen, Zhiheng Zhao, Ming Li, George Q. Huang

Summary: This article proposes a system architecture using industrial Internet of Things and digital twin technologies for spatial-temporal traceability and visibility in factory logistics. It introduces a genetic indoor-tracking algorithm (GITA) that uses a long short-term memory network and bluetooth low energy technology for product localization. The algorithm adapts online for long-term performance and includes a feature selection method to handle signal fading. The obtained spatial-temporal information is leveraged for location-based services and a real-life case study validates the system's viability and practicality, showing superior performance compared to existing approaches.

A human-centric system combining smartwatch and LiDAR data to assess the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and improve ergonomics of Industry 5.0 manufacturing workers

Francesco Pistolesi, Michele Baldassini, Beatrice Lazzerini

Summary: More than one in four workers worldwide suffer from back pain, resulting in the loss of 264 million work days annually. In the U.S., it costs $50 billion in healthcare expenses each year, rising up to $100 billion when accounting for decreased productivity and lost wages. The impending Industry 5.0 revolution emphasizes worker well-being and their rights, such as privacy, autonomy, and human dignity. This paper proposes a privacy-preserving artificial intelligence system that monitors the posture of assembly line workers. The system accurately assesses upper-body and lower-body postures while respecting privacy, enabling the detection of harmful posture habits and reducing the likelihood of musculoskeletal disorders.

A methodological and theoretical framework for implementing explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) in business applications

Dieudonne Tchuente, Jerry Lonlac, Bernard Kamsu-Foguem

Summary: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in various sectors of society. However, the black box nature of most AI techniques such as Machine Learning (ML) hinders their practical application. This has led to the emergence of Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), which aims to provide AI-based decision-making processes and outcomes that are easily understood, interpreted, and justified by humans. While there has been a significant amount of research on XAI, there is currently a lack of studies on its practical applications. To address this research gap, this article proposes a comprehensive review of the business applications of XAI and a six-step framework to improve its implementation and adoption by practitioners.
