The following article shows a method of assessment of intelligent technologies used in the production area that can be employed for a wide range of applications. The assessment uses a holistic approach and assumes a paradigm based on the balance between the economy, society, and environment. The proposed method is based on the idea of the integrate...

... It proposes an assessment framework that allows for evaluating the effects of the implementation of a techno-organizational venture (project, process, etc.), then mapping a full set of quantitative and qualitative changes in an organization and results of its activities [40]. IMATOV was originally developed for the evaluation of technical and organizational projects of flexible automation [40], but it shows flexibility in adaptation to modern challenges (e.g., technology assessment) [41,42]. ...
... Marciniak [40] proposed a three-stage water-fall-like approach for a design of details of specific IMATOV application ( Figure 2). Ejsmont [42] presented a modified IMATOV based on the holistic assessment of "intelligent" technologies. This approach was a trigger to be employed in RFID assessment towards sustainability. ...
... IMATOV is the method designed for a techno-organizational venture that allows for modifying its structure accordingly with specific needs and requirements related to the project, technology, system, and organization under investigation. It was already proved that IMATOV applications deliver valid results under various including "intelligent technologies" [42,43]. RFID should be discussed as an intelligent technology. ...
Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has become a widely accepted manufacturing paradigm across a wide range of industries. It includes an array of various approaches, tools, techniques, and methods. They were known to researchers before, but when combined they build a new reality, which needs procedures for the assessment of technologies and manufacturing processes. Current assessment methods often fail to incorporate economic, environmental, and social impacts simultaneously in an integrated way. The potential implementation of a sustainability assessment procedure on a larger scale is seen for (well-developed) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The measures for assessment were identified through a literature review and validated by expert panels. Validation measures were quantified using multi-criteria decision making (AHP). Criteria ranking was used for reasoning if the assumed modular structure responded to the experts’ needs. To connect the existing research gap, a holistic and integrated assessment method for I4.0 applications, depicted in a structured way and tailored for RFID technology, is developed, which constitutes a research gap in current literature on this topic. Results showed that a modularized structure of approach (module—group of measures—measures [as indicators]) for RFID sustainability assessment, which depends on the complexity of this technology, may be a convenient method for assessment of I4.0 technologies. It was confirmed that all sustainability perspectives are important due to their contributions to supporting decisions and should be considered in the assessment of RFID. On the other hand, it can help managers and practitioners implement the assessment method in their practice to reduce pollution and save the environment.
... In previous publications [12][13][14] the author developed a model for the assessment of intelligent technologies based on a two-step approach (dimension -measure). In this paper, its development assumes creating functional modules (Table 1) within the adopted dimensions, consisting of a specific group of measures ( Figure 1). ...
Due to the beginning of the Fourth Industrial Revolution based mainly on intelligent technologies used in the production area, rational assessment of their functioning has become the subject of interest of many scientists. The main aim of the article is to present the method of intelligent technologies assessment and to determine the possibilities of its adaptation by manufacturing companies. The following methods and research approaches were used in the construction of the method: integrated method, controlling, desk research, observation of the functioning of intelligent technologies, questionnaire interview. The research procedure assumes the adoption of a three-stage assessment process (measure – module – dimension). The holistic approach adopted in the study is achieved through horizontal aggregation of obtained values of measures and modules. The method was verified for the assessment of an intelligent technological line operating in a large metallurgical company. The substantive analysis of the achieved results allowed to develop a list of recommended activities within modules that have not been assessed positively. It has also become possible to assess the implementation of strategic and operational goals realized through the use of intelligent technological line. The developed final assessment formula will help determine the effectiveness of the activities undertaken (comparative analysis).

We wcześniejszych publikacjach Autor m.in. przedstawił ogólną charakterystykę inteligentnych technologii wykorzystywanych w obszarze produkcji przedsiębiorstw [1], zaproponował proces ich oceny w pięciu wymiarach (ekonomicznym, technologicznym, ochrony środowiska, społecznym, prawnym) bazujący na podejściu trójstopniowym (wymiar -moduł -miernik) [1,2], a także opracował przykładowy model służący ocenie inteligentnych technologii [3]. ...
Streszczenie: W pracy przedstawiono propozycję procesu oceny wymiaru społecznego w odniesieniu do inteligentnych technologii funkcjonujących w obszarze produkcji przedsiębiorstwa. Proces ten powinien stanowić jedną z głównych składowych holistycznej oceny technologii. Dla realizacji celu wskazano główne cechy inteligentnych technologii (wprowadzających duże zmiany w wymiarze społecznym), podkreślono rolę czynnika ludzkiego w procesie oceny technologii, a także na podstawie wybranego obiektu badawczego przedstawiono i zweryfikowano proponowaną strukturę oceny. Uzyskane wyniki mogą stanowić podstawę do dalszych badań dotyczących kompleksowej oceny technologii inteligentnych.

Technology enhanced learning (TEL) represents an expert and intelligent paradigm in which technological affordances are used to facilitate learners' acquisition of domain knowledge (DK), where Ubiquitous–Learning (u–learning) is a TEL instance that recreates situated and immersive settings. However in such settings, learners are stressed by diverse, heterogeneous, and simultaneous stimuli that challenge their cognitive skills, increase the cognitive load, trigger emotional reactions, and bias conduct. Thus this research proposes a smart Sequencing approach that enables TEL systems to lead students to regulate their learning process. The essence of the proposal is a holistic self–regulated learning (SRL) model that encourage students to develop higher–order thinking through the practice of metacognitive skills, motivational factors, and behavioral affairs to become aware of their own learning endeavors. The approach was applied as part of the sequencing module of a u–Learning system, where students follow its suggested cognitive strategies to assist them during the programming of control equipment. Results show that, although experimental subjects had to deal with higher cognitive load, they are expected to reach higher learning achievements than their control peers. The experience reveals how TEL systems are enabled to foster learners to handle their own apprenticeship processes. As a consequence, the smart sequencing functionality of TEL is cognitively enhanced to facilitate students the simultaneal acquisition DK and development of higher–order thinking.
