Maritime Industry 4.0 Sustainability Challenge and Resolving Through Universal Accessibility Design

EasyChair Preprint 10870

Abstract

Maritime industry 4.0 could be characterized as technical solutions through Artificial intelligence thru Neural network, Big data thru Internet connectivity and Industrial internet of things thru Data velocity in real time. Sustainability challenges in maritime industry could be summarized as acute shortage of qualified human resources, energy efficiency to achieve net zero emission target and decision efficiency through improved data management and communication. While developed economies are unable to attract their citizens to join seafaring jobs by sacrificing family-friends and city life, now trying to replace or reduce seafarers by means of investing more in industry 4.0 technologies, which in turn multiplying pressure on existing under developed state of industry 4.0 infrastructure in maritime sector. Here we propose to resolve this maritime industry 4.0 constrain by using universal accessibility design (UAD) model, which incorporates sustainability parameters of maritime industry and limitations of new technologies in covering oceans in cost effective manner. In the context of newer complexities in achieving sustainability for maritime industry through application of industry 4.0 technologies, utilization of universal accessibility design for big data management in remoteness of vessels at seas from the ports and companies in cities, could bring operational flexibility in decision making by local Learning modules and parallel resolve strategy development and knowledge building issues in remote server by Cognition process. Further iteration, comparison and validation of knowledge for future maritime industry development uses could be done through public access to those big data in a cloud base.

Keyphrases: Maritime Industry 4.0, Sustainability Challenge, Universal Accessibility Design
