Healthy residential buildings represent the future of construction concerned with the environment, which is increasingly emphasized. This is directly related to the research and development of environmentally friendly building materials, which on the one hand meet the specific requirements of the builder, and on the other hand do not harm the environment. The research is based on the possibility of achieving increased variability in healthy residential buildings via the customization of recycled polyvinyl butyral using smart technologies for sustainable design. This study has two sub-goals; the first and foremost is the development and adaptation of recycled polyvinyl butyral to increase the elevation of the healthy residential buildings. The second objective is to design a methodology, and create databases and intelligent designs, via knowledge and building information modeling (BIM) technologies. In future research, data on environmental materials (such as the abovementioned recycled polyvinyl butyral) should be implemented in the knowledge databases that will be methodically described in our second sub-target.

It has long been a challenge for us to contribute to waste reduction. That is why we have been dealing with the idea of using waste windscreen foil for the production of sustainable materials for several years. Our “environmental friendly” 3R (Reduce–Recover–Recycle) composite materials for the customized industry represent a considerate environmental solution and are an excellent example of our comprehensive thinking. Application of the recycled materials into the industry depends on the customer’s interaction with the final product manufacturing process. The priority is to respect customer requirements directly on the production line. In their manufacture, recycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is used, which comes from the windscreen recycling process, and reinforces are the high strength fabrics. Smart materials can be divided into two areas: load-bearing materials that ensure the rigidity and strength of the structure and at the same time impact protection, and materials providing certain active functions, especially process control, information transfer, servo drive, efficient conversion, energy storage, and so on. Ideally, several features are combined in one component using “smart materials.” The advantage of materials is that they minimize the environmental impact and contribute to raising awareness of the usefulness of this future commodity.

The resulting quality of castings indicates the correlation of the design of the mold inlet system and the setting of technological parameters of casting. In this study, the influence of design solutions of the inlet system in a pressure mold on the properties of Al-Si castings was analyzed by computer modelling and subsequently verified experimentally. In the process of computer simulation, the design solutions of the inlet system, the mode of filling the mold depending on the formation of the casting and the homogeneity of the casting represented by the formation of shrinkages were assessed. In the experimental part, homogeneity was monitored by X-ray analysis by evaluating the integrity of the casting and the presence of pores. Mechanical properties such as permanent deformation and surface hardness of castings were determined experimentally, depending on the height of the inlet notch. The height of the inlet notch has been shown to be a key factor, significantly influencing the properties of the die-cast parts and influencing the speed and filling mode of the mold cavity. At the same time, a significant correlation between porosity and mechanical properties of castings is demonstrated. With the increasing share of porosity, the values of permanent deformation of castings increased. It is shown that the surface hardness of castings does not depend on the integrity of the castings but on the degree of subcooling of the melt in contact with the mold and the formation of a fine-grained structure in the peripheral zones of the casting.

Nowadays, in the modern, fast-paced world, customers encounter a considerable range of products and services. They have a wide range of products to choose from, and it is up to them to decide. They often make decisions based on personal values, because they are the ones who know best what is best for them. Customer satisfaction depends on satisfying his needs and desires. If a product fails to meet its needs, it is disappointing, and it is also highly likely that it will no longer want to do business with the enterprise. On the contrary, if the enterprise succeeds in satisfying its needs, the customer is satisfied. Our contribution aimed to increase the possibilities of existing enterprise’s competitiveness with the help of selected internet tools. An enterprise that does not want to be left behind and wants to keep the interest of its customers as well as keep up with the competition will not do without the innovations that are part of every functioning and prosperous enterprise. It is also true that every enterprise should continuously look for new processes, products and opportunities - it should therefore practically implement an appropriate innovation policy.

The paper is focused on using the possibilities of implementing RFID technology with augmented reality. Today, it has become an element that is becoming more widely known. In this article, we gradually focus on two-second measures in two display units. The first alternative used for the measurement is the use of a UHF Bluetooth RFID reader with Smart glasses on the platform of the Android system. The second alternative is the use of industrial readers in Ethernet connection, its connection to the local wifi network and smart glasses Microsoft HoloLens 2. Both reading systems work on the principle of Ultra Hight Frequency, and therefore, different RFID tags are used in Label, industrial and metal case. For the laboratory measurements, we tested the reading distance of the RFID tag and the ability of intuitive control of applications. Based on the findings, it can be deduced that the implementation of augmented reality can help online monitoring and tracking the progress of production. As a concept, it is based on both proposals from the KANBAN system. The advantage is that suggested versions are mobile and can be directly implemented in manufacturing enterprises.

Success in the market in today's highly competitive environment is influenced not only by the quality of products and services of a given enterprise or individual but also by the way they are promoted in the marketing sphere. Enterprises are looking for a variety of promotions, from ordinary flyers in mailboxes to large, expensive advertisements on TV screens. To attract the attention of potential customers, enterprises are forced to continually invent new ways of promotion. Advanced technology is available on the market, which almost every potential customer always has with them. Mobile marketing is now widely used, especially in the form of advertising on the Internet or in most freely available applications. The priority of the article is to increase the competitiveness of the enterprise through augmented reality. By using these technologies, the brand is presented to customers as advanced, which automatically improves its reputation in the market.

Distribution of gasses to the cast volume and volume of pores can be maintained within the acceptable limits by means of correct setting of technological parameters of casting and by selection of suitable structure and gating system arrangement. The main idea of this paper solves the issue of suitability of die casting adjustment—i.e., change of technological parameters or change of structural solution of the gating system—with regards to inner soundness of casts produced in die casting process. Parameters which were compared included height of a gate and velocity of a piston. The melt velocity in the gate was used as a correlating factor between the gate height and piston velocity. The evaluated parameter was gas entrapment in the cast at the end of the filling phase of die casting cycle and at the same time percentage of porosity in the samples taken from the main runner. On the basis of the performed experiments it was proved that the change of technological parameters, particularly of pressing velocity of the piston, directly influences distribution of gasses to the cast volume.

This article presents the variability of Fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology and the possibilities of its use in the design and implementation of a prototype atypical device. The assumptions of the behaviour of individual components and subsystems of the design result from an extensive application of the finite element method and motion analysis of subsystems and various parts of the structure. The use of this method to such an extent accelerated the design process and its implementation. The proposal itself reflects the current state of this technology and its focus is on improving sustainable development. As is generally known, great efforts are currently being made to reduce plastic waste volume and its environmental burden. The proposed concept is modified to replace the final treatment of the top layers of the models, called “ironing” by non-planar layering of material. At the same time, it points out the advantages of this method in reducing energy requirements and the time required to produce models. The conclusion is a conceptual design of a printhead for a proposed prototype, designed to use recycled FDM, intending to streamline the possibility of recycling with little serial and piece production. This process thus closes the circle of opportunities published by us, which in the future can contribute to the optimisation of this technology towards increasing the efficiency of resource use, reduction of energy demands and environmental burden.

The application of topological optimization is currently considered one of the current trends. Because the shape of the components thus designed is the result of a design generated based on external influences acting on the model, their form can be considered almost optimal. For example, the extent of material savings resulting from shortening production cycles and reducing energy requirements is significant. Due to the way models are produced by layering the material in 3D printing, this technology makes it possible to get a little closer to the models’ optimal shape, for example, to produce prototype models for the production of injection moulds. The amazing amount of plastic and composite materials that this technology brings allows for a variable change in manufactured models based on requirements or external influences. These materials also include a group of materials and composite materials that are classified as biodegradable due to their composition. This fact, combined with the possibility of achieving the most optimal shape of components, contributes to reducing the environmental burden of such oriented production. This work presents the opportunities for modifying topological optimization outputs based on operating parameters and limits of additive production equipment fused deposition modeling (FDM). It gives the possibilities of using alternative ecological materials, their direct application, and the impact on creating models with the help of this technology. The final phase represents the result of the optimization process of the subsystem mechanism and the influence of the mechanical properties of biodegradable materials on the production process and the energy intensity of production. The aim of this work is to point out the fact and possibilities of using composite materials on a natural basis and their possible impact on reducing the environmental burden.

Technological processes play an essential task in the enterprise's production system. The behaviour and functioning of these systems cannot be predicted with certainty as they belong to a group of probable determinate structures. Generally, if we wanted to know precisely the behaviour of this condition in advance, we would have to be able to describe them mathematically or observe the action of the system on a real object. By applying discrete event simulation software, we realize the development of environmentally friendly products and using the simulation, we gain the certainty that the planned tasks can be implemented in a given time frame, while the simulation of the production process can help to clearly clarify and better understand the processes. To choose the optimal manufacturing ways of cleaning the fabrics component from waste tyres, we used the Witness discrete event simulation software to determine the usability and time occupancy of individual machines in the production of new fabric-based material. We simulated the ultrasonic method of cleaning the fabrics component from waste tyres and the subsequent creation of the test specimen. After the simulation, the obtained data can be used by a selection of type and number of machines and auxiliary equipment, by numbers of tools and fixtures, and by numbers of transport equipment. Obtained results bring the best layout of the workplace, the optimal dose of input materials and resources used in production. We have identified bottlenecks in the machines with long waiting times. The research priority was to reduce bottlenecks and increase the effectiveness of the entire of production line.

Taking climate and geopolitical issues into account, we must shift our thinking towards “eco” and focus on renewable energy. The accessible solar energy represents 400 times the amount of consumption, while its potential represents 10,000 times the amount of demand. The paper aims to analyze recycled, customized polyvinyl butyral (PVB) with high purity (more than 98%) concerning its physicochemical and mechanical properties and its possible applicability in the photovoltaic industry as an encapsulating material. The detailed investigation on polyvinyl butyral starting from characterizations, homogenization, and moulding process to tensile tests and used exposure testing in laboratory apparatus are performed. Samples of recycled polyvinyl butyral were exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation of the value 0.76 W.m–2.nm–1 at 340 nm, water spray, drying at 50 °C and condensation for 320 h when the radiation was turned off. The results obtained were more controlled in a laboratory environment than those found in external, uncontrolled environments. These conditions subsequently accelerate any degradation of polyvinyl butyral as a material and subsequent degradation of the final product.

Geopolymers are materials prepared from alkaline-activated cement without a calcium constituent. They are synthetic materials based on aluminosilicates. The main advantage of these environmentally friendly materials is that they save mineral resources and due to being free of calcium constituents, and only a small amount of CO2 emissions are released into the environment. The circular economy model of sustainable development of new composite materials will ensure the competitiveness of industries, their stable economic growth, and a healthy environment. This paper aims to investigate geopolymer composite materials that were reinforced with a mixture of glass powder from recycled windscreens. The glass 100% circulates in the closed material cycle and can be used again in the manufacturing process without any loss of quality. We are focused on verification of readability of selected automatic identification technology and their usability directly in the manufacturing process of geopolymer composite materials.
