Proceedings of the conference, held to examine how new information technologies can be applied to the forest industry, and their economic impact and benefits for conservation and environmental protection. The conference covered robotics; knowledge-based systems in training, monitoring, and diagnostics; design and management in the pulp and paper industry; inventory management; silviculture; field data acquisition and management; environmental management; lumber manufacturing; and future change in equipment, the use of partnerships, and competitiveness.

"The objective of this conference is to examine how new information technologies can be applied to the forest industry, along with some associated issues, such as their economic impact and the benefits in terms of conservation and environmental protection"--Page 1.

The application of internet of things (IoT) technologies and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled IoT solutions has gradually become accepted by business and production organizations as an effective tool for automating several activities effectively and efficiently and developing and distributing products to the global market. Within this book, the reader will learn how to implement IoT devices, IoT-equipped machines, and AI-equipped IoT applications using models and methodologies along with an array of case studies. Advanced IoT Technologies and Applications in the Industry 4.0 Digital Economy covers the basics of IoT-equipped machines in developing and managing various activities in many industries. It discusses all of the key points of an AI-enabled IoT solution, which includes predictive analytics, robotic process automation, predictive maintenance, automated processes, IoT technologies and IoT-equipped sensors related to machines and processes, production testing systems, and product assessment processes in the production environment. The book presents the concepts and interactive methods using datasets, processing workflow charts, and architectural diagrams along with additional real-time systems for easy and fast understanding of the application of IoT-equipped machines and AI-enabled solutions in organizations and includes many case studies throughout the book to enforce reader comprehension. This book is an ideal read for industry specialists, practitioners, researchers, scientists, and engineers working or involved in the fields of Robotics, IT, Computer Science, Soft Computing, IoT, AL/ML/DL, Data Science, the Semantic Web, Knowledge Engineering, and other related fields.
