  • Smart Factories could be regarded as a result of the integration of various key technologies of the fourth industrial revolutions. In smart factory, the IoT (Internet of things) is applied to capture the data generated by the production facility, store and analyze data generated in real time using Big Data technology. In addition, 3D printers are used to print expensive and complex parts, industrial robots supply materials and parts to the production site, store finished products in warehouses. In this paper, we introduced the definition of smart factory and change of job market. Also, we summarize several national policies to support enhancing transformation process of smart factory.

  • Smart hospitals involve the use of recent ICT (information and communications technology) technologies to improve healthcare access, efficiency, and effectiveness. Standardization in smart hospital technologies is crucial for interoperability, scalability, policy formulation, quality control, and maintenance. This study reviewed relevant international standards for smart hospitals and the organizations that develop them. Specific attention was paid to robotics in smart hospitals and the potential for standardization in this area. The study used online resources and existing standards to analyze technologies, standards, and practices in smart hospitals. Key technologies of smart hospitals were identified. Relevant standards from ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) were mapped to each core technology. Korea's leadership in smart hospital technology were highlighted. Approaches for standardizing smart hospitals were proposed. Finally, potential new international standard items for robotics in smart hospitals were identified and categorized by function: sampling, remote operation, delivery, disinfection, and movement tracking/contact tracing. Standardization in smart hospital technologies is crucial for ensuring interoperability, scalability, ethical use of artificial intelligence, and quality control. Implementing international standards in smart hospitals is expected to benefit individuals, healthcare institutions, nations, and industry by improving healthcare access, quality, and competitiveness.

  • Location-based density information of mobile node could be used well in various, new and expanding areas such as location-based services, internet of things, smart grid technologies, and intelligent building. In general, receiving mobile nodes of a wireless mobile node depend on the maximum communication range of transmitting mobile node. In this paper, efficient computing method for mobile node using Delaunay triangulation is proposed, which is irrespective of mobile node's maximum communication range and reflect relative location in a given situation. Proposed method may be good used to find out the density of network constructed by various max communication range devices as Internet of Things. This method suggested in this paper could work well for location-based services, internet of things, smart grid technologies, and intelligent building.

  • This work presents an Internet of Things (IoT) system for home energy management based on a custom-designed Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) transceiver that targets a generic and multi-standard control system. This control system enables the interoperability of heterogeneous devices: it integrates various sensor nodes based on ZigBee, EnOcean and UWB in the same middleware by utilizing an ad-hoc layer as an interface between the hardware and software. The paper presents as a first the design of the IR-UWB transceiver for a portable sensor node integrated with the middleware layer, and also describes the receiver connected to the control system. The custom-designed low-power transmitter on the sensor node is fabricated with 130 nm CMOS technology. It generates a signal with a 1.1 ns pulse width while consuming $39{\mu}W$ at 1 Mbps. The UWB sensor node with a temperature measurement capability consumes 5.31 mW, which is lower than the power level of state-of-the-art solutions for smart-home applications. The UWB hardware and software layers necessary to interface with the control system are verified in over-the-air measurements in an actual office environment. With the implementation of the presented sensor node and its integration in the energy management system, we demonstrate achievement of the broad flexibility demanded for IoT.

  • In the era of information society, IT industry has been developed very much. New technology has made appearance in citizens' lives. IOT (Internet of Things) has grown up the most rapidly in IT industry. Kevin Ashiton, MIT specialist, said, "Loading of FRIS and other sensors shall build Internet of things." Internet of things is said to let things have sensor and communication module and to exchange information and communicate each other. In this study, Internet of things has been applied to flowerpot to build automatic flowerpot control system that turns fan ON and supplies water depending upon temperature and moisture. Users are difficult to cognize temperature and humidity of flower pot correctly. In this study, an experiment obtained correct value of temperature and humidity to build control system. At the performance test of flower pot, commands turned ON depending upon temperature and humidity. Control system should be added to control water supply quantity and time objectively according to servo motor control. Purpose of further study was to control flower pot by remote system in connection with smart phone application. An application control can make not only temperature and humidity statistics but also server depending upon users' needs to turn fan ON and take actions and to control flower pot.

  • All things connected to the Internet have to ensure interoperability between each other. Web of Things (WoT) is an Internet of Things (IoT) Web standard technology that enables the communication between smart devices and web-based applications. In order for WoT to be possible, monitoring of all devices connected to the Internet have to be possible. To this end, various efforts are being made to develop network monitoring applications using the latest Web front-end frameworks, not traditional web-based monitoring. This paper examines and describes the possibilities of applying Web front-end frameworks such as React, Angular and Svelte to the development of network monitoring applications for WoT. This paper also describes the pros and cons of two major frameworks, React and Angular, in developing monitoring applications that support the cross-platforms and cross-browsers in WoT environments and examines the applicability of them by developing simple network monitoring applications using React.
