1. Editorial: combined water and heat integration in the process industriesElvis Ahmetović, Ignacio E. Grossmann, Zdravko Kravanja, François Marechal, Jiri Klemeš, Luciana E. Savulescu, Dong Hongguang, 2022, predgovor, uvodnik, spremna beseda Opis: Water and energy are resources that are used in large quantities in different sectors (domestic, agricultural, and industrial). Based on data on global water and energy consumption in the world over the recent past, as well as forecasts for the coming years, a continuous trend of increasing water and energy consumption can be observed. ...

2. Considering IT trends for modelling investments in supply chains by prioritising digital twinsNena Orel Šanko, Borut Jereb, Matevž Obrecht, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Supply chain disruptions and challenges have and will always exist, but preparing in advance and improving resilience for the upcoming consequences should be the utmost important goal. This paper explores trends that affect innovation in the technological sphere of supply chain systems. More precisely, the research is focused on Digital Twin technology applicability through other logistics IT trends and aims to research the pressing issue of ensuring the visibility and resilience of future supply chain systems. The paper’s objective is to produce a conceptual model enabling the investment assessment of the necessary IT resources. Initially, a theoretical confirmation of logistics IT trends’ relevance to supply chain systems was established. After, propositions of Digital Twin technology applications to other logistics IT trends were made, which were divided into corresponding constant multitudes of supply chain systems. Lastly, the conceptual model for the investment assessment of the necessary IT resources was derived in the form of a matrix. It considers 16 parameters for investment assessment and applicability to all companies, regardless of their specifics. It also supports the notion of digital IT competencies’ fundamental importance to the continuous operation of supply chain systems.

3. Modeling of forming efficiency using genetic programmingMiran Brezočnik, Jože Balič, Zlatko Kampuš, 2001, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper proposes new approach for modeling of various processes in metal-forming industry. As an example, we demonstrate the use of genetic programming (GP) for modeling of forming efficiency. The forming efficiency is a basis for determination of yield stress which is the fundamental characteristic of metallic materials. Several different genetically evolved models for forming efficiency on the basis of experimental data for learning were discovered. The obtained models (equations) differ in size, shape, complexity and precision of solutions. In one run out of many runs of our GP system the well-known equation of Siebel was obtained. This fact leads us to opinion that GP is a very powerful evolutionary optimization method appropriate not only for modeling of forming efficiency but also for modeling of many other processes in metal-forming industry.

4. Software tools overview : process integration, modelling and optimisation for energy saving and pollution reductionHon Loong Lam, Jiri Klemeš, Zdravko Kravanja, Petar Varbanov, 2011, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper provides an overview of software tools based on long experience andapplications in the area of process integration, modelling and optimisation. The first part reviews the current design practice and the development of supporting software tools. Those are categorised as: (1) process integration and retrofit analysis tools, (2) general mathematical modelling suites with optimisation libraries, (3) flowsheeting simulation and (4) graph-based process optimisation tools. The second part covers an assessment of tools which enable the generation of new sustainable alternatives to adapt to the future needs. They deal with waste, environment, energy consumption, resources depletion and production cost constrains. The emphasis of the sustainable process design tools is largely on the evaluation of process viability under sustainable economic conditions, synthesis of sustainable process and supply chain process maintenance and life cycle analysis. Major software tools development and the potential of the research-based tools for sustainable process design task are overviewed in theconcluding part.
