Rapid developments in technology enable us to reach smart glasses and AR technology with a wide range of products and competitive prices. Hence, increase in smart glasses industrial use give an opportunity to whom work distant such as making it possible to see from each other's eyes, which increases the operational efficiency of the companies; since it is costly to make experienced staff traveled to another plant in aspects of travel cost, accommodation cost and the lack of the experienced person in his/her the main responsibility area in factories with different experiences in remote locations. This study is conducted about the application of smart glasses on one of the biggest tire manufacturing company since 2018. End to end journey of the smart glasses' remote support applications, starting with how the devices are selected and ending with an evaluation of advantages/disadvantages of the smart glasses' technology, is explained in this paper. Moreover, the study covers details and observations of staff training, new product development, and inspections, first-run test on machinery, maintenance, and audits.

Abstract Historically, industries were in harbour areas of cities for easy access to transportation of resources. Today, transforming former industrial areas into living spaces has become attractive business. However, this transformation has often been challenged by high levels of soil contamination caused by the industrial use. Remediation measures are mandatory to ensure the public safety in the redeveloped areas. Detailed information about the contaminant type, distribution and transport mechanisms is required to address the contamination issues. This paper presents a workflow for investigations assisting decision making for construction work in redeveloped industrial areas. The workflow is applied to Horsens harbour (Denmark). In this area, renovation of the harbour walls introduces the risk of spreading of phenol contamination to planned construction areas. The study demonstrates how detailed information about the geology and hydrology at the site allows for scenario modelling of contaminant transport, guiding remediation efforts and aiding decision makers in developing the harbour area.

AbstractDesert oases are undergoing rapid changes in response to environmental, economic and social pressures. The Wādī al-Hayāt, in the Libyan Fazzān, illustrates these changes and exemplifies some of the processes at work. Human activity in the area is dependent on groundwater extraction. Introduction of mechanical pumps and modern irrigation technology has enabled significant expansion of irrigated area, but environmental problems have arisen as a result. Geoarchaeological studies have demonstrated that groundwater levels have fallen over the latter half of the Holocene. Large decreases have occurred since 1970 as a result of abstraction for agricultural, domestic and industrial use. This study uses aerial photographs from 1958 and Landsat imagery from 1987, 1999 and 2000 to map changes in the area under irrigation in the Wādī al-Hayāt. We find a general southwards migration of oasis agriculture within the Wādī, as vegetation has died in the northern part of the Wādī and irrigation extended to the south. A significant amount of inter-annual change in vegetation cover is identified, indicating the need to account for seasonal cropping practices when monitoring for longer-term changes.

Studies about Pb variability in contaminated soils, especially in the case of fallout from smelters or facilities, are few and the relevance of geostatistical technique for studying contaminated soil as well as the surface area required for investigation are unclear. Few studies have been conducted on short-range variability of trace elements in soils, and some of them have shown these elements to be randomly distributed while others pointed out the spatial dependence between sample locations. Therefore the main objective of this study is to document the short-range variability of Pb in an area contaminated by fallout, using a case study in France. Soil lead in this site arises from a history of industrial use. No other metals were detected in Pb emissions. On this site, we conducted a statistical and a geostatistical study of Pb content in soil, and of soil characteristics that may affect it. The aims of this work are (i) to separate the spatial structure due to high Pb fallout from a content and diffuse pollution, (ii) to separate the variability due to analytical measurements from ones related to spatial variations, (iii) to point out the soil characteristics correlated with Pb, (iv) to optimize sampling design for monitoring the long-term changes following remedial action. Results demonstrated that in this highly contaminated soil, fallout Pb was mainly located in the surface layer (0–0.2 m depth). The geostatistical study suggested that the study of the spatial structure may help in discriminating fallout Pb from Pb coming from diffuse pollution or geochemical content. However, the large spatial variability of Pb, partly due to microheterogeneity made the monitoring of this toxic element very difficult, and required a larger surface for sampling. Using correlation techniques to detect causations appeared not to be relevant. Therefore, other statistical techniques such as path analysis should be tested. Additionally, microanalysis, mobility and bioavailability studies, as well as lab or bench scale remediation studies should be conducted. Key words: Contaminated soils, fallout Pb, short-range variability, geostatistics
