A vineyard in southern Patagonia: Challeng-ing the climate at Viñas del Nant y Fall
type: item
description: Production processes in agriculture and livestock have always been conditioned by the characteristics of the soil, the climate, the sources of irrigation and the variety and nature of the surrounding ecosystem. Although in some privileged regions of the planet, nature is so bountiful that crops are grown with ease, in most cases, man has had to resort to his ingenuity to ensure that crops are viable and sustainable over time. As far as vineyard production is concerned, the Vitis vinifera species has specific preferences for soils with good drainage, an adequate balance of nutrients, a temperate and dry climate, sufficient but not very frequent rainfall, and abundant sunlight. In Argentina, vineyards are grown in regions with semi-arid soils and temperatures between warm and temperate, from the province of Rio Negro to Salta, with successful vineyards existing in some microclimates, including on the Atlantic coast of the province of Buenos Aires. In Patagonia, where suitable soils are abundant, cold weather and frost prevent the development of traditional vineyards. There are important vineyards in the valley between the Negro and Colorado rivers, but further south, the climate is not favorable for cultivation. The Nant and Fall case is about a pioneering venture on the outskirts of Trevelin, Chubut province, where a viable vineyard was developed by incorporating frost detection and protection technology.

Plant Layout 4.0
type: item
description: This work immerses us in project design considerations when implementing real-time data collection tools in the plant, also known as internet of things technology, necessary to optimize the management of industrial operations. A wrong conception that does not take into account significant differences regarding distribution by process versus distribution by product will inevitably involve going through a series of difficulties that cause the results obtained to not be translated into information, necessary for the search for continuous improvement. The conclusions are alarming, presenting an initial situation of OEE monitoring of 88%, in contrast to a reality fourteen points lower, 74%. This gap will cause not to attack the elimination of waste, in search of optimization of the company's income statement. We will see that this difference will be a consequence of the incorrect imputation of rework generated when monitoring the activity based on the occupation time of the operators, instead of doing so on the effective time in producing good units continuously. The following research is of the descriptive type methodology, based on a collection of empirical data taken asynchronously during the year 2023 on a sample universe defined by a manufacturing company dedicated to the production of commercial weighing instruments for the Argentine and Latin American markets.

Challenges in the training of industrial engineers at the dawn of industry 5.0
type: item
description: Industry 5.0 is the product of the incremental evolution of the 4.0 model. Without disruptive features, this model differentiates itself through a greater focus on social and ecological values. Its challenges include social heterogeneity, the measurement of environmental and social value, and the integration of the entire value chain. While Industry 4.0 addresses sustainability from a technological perspective, Industry 5.0 adopts a holistic approach that places the human being at the core of the production process. This change of focus empowers industry to achieve social goals, in addition to economic ones. This context brings with it the need for a 5.0 education that focuses on the management of technologies and machinery with a humanistic approach, developing advanced cognitive skills and organizational management. Essential competencies include both technical and digital skills, as well as soft skills and emotional intelligence. Five groups of key competencies are identified: soft skills (flexibility and social skills), hard skills (professional skills and technical skills), cognitive skills (analytical and intelligent skills), emotionally intelligent skills (self-awareness and empathy) and digital skills (digital literacy and interactivity). Education 5.0 for industrial engineers should be based on the enabling technologies of Industry 5.0, fostering high cognitive skills in both technologies and organizational management. Based on conceptual guidelines from various authors, it is proposed to create a training space called "Engineering Innovation Space 5.0" (ExI250). This space, oriented towards future production, will function as an educational and training platform, providing an environment for practical and multidisciplinary teaching in production. ExI250 seeks to materialize the vision of Industry 5.0 through a blended learning factory approach with scenario-based learning that allows students to gain practical experience throughout the production process, …

Logistics, energy and sustainability, literature review
type: item
description: This document presents the results of an analysis of recent literature on the importance of logistics in the generation of greenhouse gases (GHG) and examines the topics currently being researched to reduce its impact and enhance sustainability of the activity. The methodology was based on a systematic review of the available literature published in recent years, followed by its analysis and comparison. The research results indicate that, although progress is being made through various approaches to reduce the impact of logistics activities on GHG emissions, none has yet emerged as a definitive solution, suggesting that we are in a period of transition. In this transition, sustainability plays a key role as an important objective, alongside technological and economic constraints that remain challenging to overcome.

Analysis of the properties of lightweight ceramic bricks obtained from clay and aggregates of various agro-industrial wastes
type: item
description: Numerous investigations were carried out incorporating various agro-industrial wastes into clay mixtures, in order to produce lightweight ceramic materials. In this work, some of these studies have been analyzed, taking as a starting point those that were developed under the same experimental conditions, in such a way that the variables to be analyzed are the densities of the biomasses, and the percentage of added waste. The selected biomass waste is peanut shells, pistachio shells, olive pits, corn cobs, among others. The characterization of these materials was carried out with various techniques. The XRD diagrams present in all cases the characteristic peaks of the crystalline portion of cellulose. The thermal behavior studies show exothermic peaks corresponding to the combustion-decomposition processes of the biopolymers present. The properties and characteristics of the ceramic products obtained have been studied, and it can be observed that, in all cases, for contents of up to 10% of residual material, the market requirements for this type of bricks are met. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the shape and size of the pores produced in the samples has led to establishing an important relationship with the characteristics of the aggregated biomass particles.

Exergy applied to life cycle analysis. An integrative approach to measuring sustainability
type: item
description: This work aims to demonstrate why the application of exergy to life cycle assessment methodology gives a more comprehensive understanding of both energy and non-energy resources consumed in various energy conversion processes. Moreover, exergy can be considered a physical value of a resource. In this respect, it might be quantified to account for requirements needed. In doing so, it is possible to determine how exergetically efficient might result to be the consumption of energy and materials in specific processes. Firstly, it is explained how exergy relates to sustainability assessment. Secondly, a discussion about methodological limitations in life cycle assessment and its implications for sustainability measurement in terms of environmental impacts are thoroughly examined. Thirdly, a comparison between the exergetic approach and the conventional approach to life cycle assessment of a hypothetical case study of biogas from bovine slaughterhouse waste is presented to evaluate to which extent the exergetic approach provides a better measure of sustainability. To sum up, some final considerations are put forward to provide insights into the application of exergy to life cycle assessment methodology. Therefore, the integration of exergy into this methodology might enhance the scope of sustainability measurement, delivering a better tool for assessing environmental impacts in terms of exergetic efficiency recovery, and as a response to an order of things subject to entropic transformations.

Network analysis of primary health care centers using numerical simulation and genetic algorithms
type: item
description: The networks of Primary Health Care Centers (PHCC) are an important part of the public health system of our country. In order to maximize the population's access to health goods and services provided in the PHCC, the municipalities make a permanent effort to adapt these networks to the demographic and territorial growth of the cities. This complex problem involves distributing appropriately the number of centers in the territory, with the proper capacity for each type of service offered. The main objective of this work is to study the need, demand, and supply of primary health care services using a mathematical model. For the specific case study of a medium-sized city territorially disaggregated into census cells, firstly, the current system situation is investigated through simulation using a simple model of willingness to move. Next, the effect of modifying the capacity of services in existing PHCC is analyzed. Finally, the impact of incorporating new centers into the network is investigated in order to maximize the estimated demand using a genetic algorithm. The proposed methodology makes it possible to systematically study the system with the available information and analyze the impact of changes in services’ offering on the main access indicators.

How do we help the environment from the supply chain?
type: item
description: The importance of sustainability in logistics processes plus the coordination of the supply chain raise the maturity of integration through flows of materials and information together. The difference lies in the set of practices between suppliers, companies and clients in order to integrate SC with a high degree of maturity and evaluate environmentally friendly actions. The research is based on adding sustainability to each process while raising the level of integration of SC; applying it to a case study with a descriptive design where SC of a company dedicated to the construction and metallurgical of Olavarría is diagnosed. The revealed processes are relationships with suppliers, purchases, storage and modular construction process. The objective is to determine the logistics practices that provide integration to the supply chain in a sustainable way to dry modular construction. During the development, it was possible to evaluate the process from the order, considering the specific needs of each client, until the delivery to the same. Going through each stage, sustainable actions were identified that enhance the integration of the entire chain. The results indicate that integrated logistics practices can be carried out in a sustainable way, from purchases with a strategic relationship with suppliers, to a differentiated design for multiple delivery, making the delivery of up to four products with the same transport more efficient.

Digitization of Financial Processes through the Implementation of the Agile Kanban Methodology
type: item
description: The objective of this work is to develop a proposal for digitalization of the financial debt claim process of a health services organization in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina. Given the growth in the number of clients, delays have been generated in the process and shortcomings in integration, communication and coordination between the areas involved. This situation generates the main problem that the organization faces financial problems associated with lack of liquidity, with the impossibility of meeting all of the obligations and commitments assumed. For this reason, the digitalization of all the information and documentation associated with the process and the implementation of the agile Kanban methodology is proposed to be able to manage it quickly, flexibly and integratedly. A virtual dashboard is designed to visualize the process flow, policies, work-in-progress limits, feedback cycles and continuous improvement are established. It is concluded that the proposal for digitalization and agile management of the analyzed process will generate a positive impact on the organization's finances, both in the short and long term, favoring its solvency, future competitiveness and continuously adding value to the organization

Technological Maturity in Industrial SMEs of Olavarría: perspectives on their preparation for Digital Transformation
type: item
description: In the current environment, industrial SMEs face a disruptive challenge: the integration and exploitation of new digital technologies that threaten their existence. Digital transformation applied to their operational and business models becomes crucial to strengthen their competitiveness and sustainability in the market. In this context, it is essential to develop methods and tools that guide companies in planning their transition to the new productive paradigm, aligning their business strategy with their operational strategy. The objective of this research is to determine the possibilities of adaptation of industrial SMEs to the technological solutions provided by Industry 4.0. To this end, a preliminary investigation was conducted in the metal-mechanic sector of the city of Olavarría through a survey of the technologies used in each of the main areas of the company, in order to identify the level of preparedness of their organizations to face the new productive paradigm of the smart industry. The results reveals that the metal-mechanic sector of Olavarría is in an incipient process of digital transformation mainly due to technological gaps, limited interconnection and communication between machines, cybersecurity and limited automation, and lack of associated specialized talent, among others. The shortage of skilled labor, difficult access to financing, cost fluctuations, and the currency crisis associated with market volatility are the main obstacles to the performance of productive activities in the sector. Furthermore, the absence of a strategy to manage technological resources, incorporate new developments, and train employees in the necessary knowledge and skills to implement these new technologies is highlighted. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for the business community and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of digital transformation in SMEs.

Decision factors in university entrepreneurship
type: item
description: Entrepreneurship is a topic of interest, increasingly relevant for societies, given its economic, productive, and cultural impact. The objective of the study was to analyze the elements that influence the decision of university students to start a business. A qualitative and non-probabilistic research was carried out through 15 semi-structured interviews with university entrepreneurs on the campus of a higher education institution in central Mexico. The findings suggest that the elements that influence the decision to start a business among university students are the search for entrepreneurial success, the different types of motivators and the obtaining-increase of income. This converges with the existing literature on entrepreneurship, but at the same time provides a new approach to entrepreneurship in university students. Suggestive findings are the divergent perception of the role of innovation in university entrepreneurship, the strengthening of the sense of community (social support), communication-persuasion and the use of social networks among university entrepreneurs. These results allow strengthening the construct, but also show the importance of entrepreneurship from within universities. Areas of opportunity for future research as well as limitations are discussed.

KingTech K-100 Gas Turbine Adaptation to Hydrogen
type: item
description: The main objective of this work is to adapt a KingTech K-100 gas turbine, originally designed to use liquid fuels (Diesel, Kerosene, Jet A, etc.), so that it can operate with hydrogen safely and efficiently. In order to achieve this, modifications to the fuel injection and lubrication system were implemented. Likewise, the turbine was tested verifying that it can reach an acceleration of 101,400 RPM using 100% hydrogen. Finally, the turbine was inspected to verify the state of the internal components after its operation with hydrogen in order to verify possible corrosion phenomena that could have generated during the operation. The conclusion obtained allows us to empirically demonstrate that it is possible to adapt this type of turbines to use hydrogen.

Comprehensive application of operational excellence techniques with discrete event simulation for productive improvement in a ceramic industry
type: item
description: Currently, productive organizations face an era of constant challenges related to the adaptation of their processes to the new productive paradigm of intelligent industries, globalized markets, high competitiveness and product customization. Under this scenario, operational excellence methodologies integrated with digital twin technologies play a leading role in improving business performance and generating competitive advantages. The present work proposes as a central axis of research the joint application of the TLS model (TOC, Lean, Six Sigma) with discrete event simulation techniques and experimental designs, as a basis to generate an improvement in the productive capacity of a porcelain tile line. in a ceramic industry, located in the province of Buenos Aires. The methodology used for its development consists of four (4) main phases. A first phase of characterization of the process and quantification of resources for the development of a conceptual model. A second phase of development and validation of the computational model, using FlexSim® as a simulation tool. A third phase of diagnosis, where through the VSM technique and the theory of restrictions, the cooking operation was identified as the bottleneck of the system. And a last phase, analysis, in which, through a unifactorial experiment design, different scenarios were evaluated to enhance the productive capacity of the line by implementing changes in the current structure of the furnace.

The Organizational networks as spaces for shared learning
type: item
description: Organizational networks constitute an original and promising phenomenon in today's societies since they represent new ways of exchanging information, articulating solidarity efforts and facilitating learning processes between different organizations and social actors. This paper addresses this issue within the framework of an investigation that analyzes the case of the CARICET Network, "Advisory Committee of Interregional Representatives of Certification of Technical Specialties" of the Certification Program of technical specialties or trades of the National Technological University in the period 2009 -2019 within the industrial sector, within the framework of a multisectoral articulation. To approach the term network, the theoretical line of the network society and the new informational paradigm as a new way of understanding the functioning of society based on globalization, an event that has been developing thanks to the Internet, is of particular interest. In this sense, it is proposed to determine the way in which the social dialogue of multisectoral actors manages to articulate and implement a certification system for technical specialties, where each node (Regional College) of the network meets, satisfies the territorial needs and of the different actors highlighting the workers and their productive knowledge without which said device would not exist. The configuration of the institutional framework for the construction of said CARICET Network as a zone of innovation and shared learning is a very enriching capital for the National Technological University, which can be transferred to other initiatives

Evaluation of the main factors of shelling in the sunflower harvest using AHP
type: item
description: Based on the analysis of the shelling of the sunflower head, carried out during harvest at different speeds with shields made of different materials, the variables that influence it were evaluated. Objectives: the application of the hierarchical analysis process (AHP) to determine which variable is most relevant when avoiding the shelling of the sunflower head: energy, weight and resilience. Materials and methods: from the data collected at harvest, AHP was applied to determine which variable has the most influence at the moment of collision of the head with the harvester, the assessment of each variable to be able to carry out the method is carried out with the help of a materials engineer. Results and discussions: The resilience variable was the most important at the time of harvesting, followed by the speed variable and finally the weight of the material itself. Conclusion: Once the calculation process is completed, you can begin to work on the factors involved in sunflower shelling.

Modeling Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Application in Continuous Improvement Processes in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
type: item
description: The participation of the Research Team in previous projects, sponsored by the Universidad del Salvador (USAL), related to the increase of efficiency / productivity / quality and its tools applied to the productive sector, has allowed to corroborate that the efforts in the Improvement Programs in the SME sector, decline considerably before reaching maturity, both in the application of quality management tools, as in the use of non-quality cost measurement techniques We have identified its causes, due in part to the lack of a plan that establishes what, how and where to measure to appreciate the results; and in part, to the disparate linkage (cause/effect) between the initiatives undertaken and the objectives pursued. For this reason, it was proposed to study, define and formulate an efficient model of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) that allows verifying the progress of Continuous Improvement (CI) processes with a focus on the SME field, both in the production of goods and services. The presentation considers the incorporation of performance measurement schemes to the "Model of the 5 Phases for the implementation of Lean Six Sigma adapted to the SME reality" (presented at COINI 2021), a model that is based on the determination and compliance of a set of Critical Success Factors (CSF) and its application sequence. The literature on this subject was analyzed, determining its applicability to our SME reality, and the modeling was defined to identify those KPIs that are easier to obtain and have the greatest impact on the objectives pursued, both indicators of final effect on the result to be achieved, and causes to obtain it.
