    IoT-Based Smart Gas Meter With LTE Connectivity and Cloud Analytics for Stationary Tanks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2026) ; ;
    Millions of homes in developing countries rely on stationary LPG tanks, yet the methods for monitoring fuel levels remain manual, unsafe, and highly inefficient. This paper addresses this issue by presenting the design, development, and implementation of an IoT-based smart gas meter that uses a noninvasive Hall-effect sensor to digitally read existing level gauges. Data is transmitted via LTE, eliminating the need for Wi-Fi and optimizing connectivity. The system is designed for low power consumption, achieving a battery life of more than eight years. Additionally, a cloud architecture is implemented in AWS to process the collected data, allowing real-time analysis, predictive maintenance, and logistics optimization. A field test was also conducted with 15 prototypes, demonstrating accurate gas level monitoring, reliable refill detection, and gas theft prevention.

    As student profiles and industry expectations modify, universities must advance learning methodologies to deliver more suitable graduates to the labor market. The Universidad Privada Boliviana (UPB) has developed experiential learning practices by implementing challenge-based learning (CBL) to enrich undergraduate curricula. One example of the CBL experiences was developed by the Taquiña Brewery, one of the five breweries of the Cervecería Boliviana Nacional (CBN), for the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department of the UPB between 2018 and 2019. As a result, students widely accepted the methodology, and academics from all disciplines in the university were trained to replicate CBL experiences in their classrooms. Moreover, the CBN found the opportunity to hire new talent, receive a fresh perspective on recurrent operational issues, and find new ideas based on theoretical concepts. This work exemplifies innovative approaches to enhance teaching and learning in supply chain management and logistics education. ©The authors ©IEEE.

    Situational Awareness Errors in Forklift Logistics Operations: A Multiphase Eye-Tracking and Think-Aloud Approach

    Background: This study explores forklift operators’ situational awareness (SA) and human errors in logistic operations using a multiphase approach as an innovative methodology. Methods: Ethnography, eye tracking, error taxonomy, and retrospective think-aloud (RTA) were used to study the diverse cognitive, behavioral, and operational aspects affecting SA. After analyzing 566 events across 18 tasks, this research highlighted eye tracking’s potential by offering real-time insights into operator behavior and RTA’s potential as a method for cross-checking the causal factors underlying errors. Results: Critical tasks, like positioning forklifts and lowering pallets, significantly impact incident occurrence, while high-cognitive demand tasks, such as hoisting and identifying pedestrians/obstacles, reduce SA and increase errors. Driving tasks are particularly vulnerable to errors and are the most affected by operator risk generators (ORGs), representing 42% of incident risk events. This study identifies driving, hoisting, and lowering loads as the tasks most influenced by system factors. Limitations include the task difficulty levels, managing physical risk, and training. Future research is suggested in autonomous industrial vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs). Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into how we may improve safety in logistics operations by proposing a multiphase methodology to uncover the patterns of attention, perception, and cognitive errors and their impact on decision-making. ©The authors ©MDPI

    Experiential Learning Labs for the Post-COVID-19 Pandemic Era

    The post-pandemic era shaped by COVID-19 has compelled universities to reimagine their learning experiences, adapting to new educational requirements and heightened expectations. However, this transformation brings forth novel pedagogical requirements and learning limitations. In today’s educational landscape, learners seek active and relevant learning experiences that seamlessly integrate interactivity, crisis awareness, and global challenges tied to a resilience and sustainability perspective. To address this imperative, our work introduces an experiential learning lab to articulate Kolb’s experiential learning cycle and authentic assessment principles. By incorporating real-world events as study scenarios, higher-order skill challenges, and self-regulated learning in alignment with reflective and practical activities, we aim to enhance students’ engagement and learning relevance. To illustrate practical implementation, we propose a case study methodology regarding an experiential learning lab for operations management education. Specifically, we delve into a case study centred around the Social Lab for Sustainable Logistics, involving a circular economy challenge as a learning experience during the post-COVID-19 pandemic. Preliminary results indicate that the experiential learning lab helped to create the learning experience in alignment with intended learning outcomes. However, further instances of such learning experiences are necessary to explore the contribution and applicability of the lab across diverse settings and disciplines.

    Logistics companies played a vital role in the supply and distribution of products in a timely and effective manner during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research sought to know how financial authorities in these companies managed the financial process and how they approached resolving issues due to the economic and financial problems experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using data from 30 experts from the accounting-finance departments of logistics companies, we found that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a decrease in revenues of the logistics companies in Turkey and increased demands for loan payments before their maturity date. According to this study, the most important factors affecting logistics companies during this health crisis were unpredictable changes in exchange rates, currency depreciation (Turkish lira), and increased rental fees. Through this research, we learned how the economic and financial problems experienced by logistics companies were managed by financial experts during the COVID-19 pandemic. ©IEEE
