TEDS' 18

On November 7, 2018, at the Financial University the TEDS conference was held.
Here we publish the results of the Conference:

This year TEDS conference (Technology & Entrepreneurship in Digital Society) is organized together with the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics, - said at the plenary session Doctor of Economics, Professor of the Department of Management, member of the Expert Council under the Government of the Russian Federation, General Director of Goznak Arkady Trachuk.
- The issues that will be considered at the TEDS conference relate not only to the digital economy in general but also to the real application of digital technologies in the context of solving the problems of modern business and entrepreneurship. These are issues related to the introduction of artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of things, blockchain and other technologies of the fourth industrial revolution in modern organizations. In our opinion, this topic is of both technical and applied interest. MTUCI Vice-
Rector Yuri Leokhin clarified that a month and a half ago, the universities signed an agreement on cooperation and do not intend to limit themselves to holding one event.
The plans include joint research projects, including those related to the technology of distributed registers, and educational ones, particularly on the development of advanced training programs. Our university has highly qualified personnel, including in information security, but we cannot do without competence in finance and credit. Therefore, I am sure that cooperation between MTUCI and the Financial University will give a tangible synergistic effect, - he stressed.
The plenary session's central event was the speech of Srdjan Krcho, CEO of DunavNET (Serbia), who presented developments on the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in various sectors of the economy. For example, TagItSmart! is an example of the successful application of IoT in the FMCG market. According to Srdjan Krcho, the project's main goal was to combine the Internet of Things with information about goods, as a result of which the usual QR code became "smarter". The presented technology is based on symbols printed with special inks that change, for example, when the temperature changes. For the pilot testing of this development, two FMCG manufacturers (i.e. a manufacturer of fast turnover goods) were selected, producing meat products and a wine factory. Smart QR codes were attached to each product, and the customer, by scanning it in a special application, could determine, for example, how fresh meat was on the counter in the store. Moreover, if the product's temperature increased by more than a few degrees, the information automatically appeared on the product that it should not be used, since it was stored incorrectly. Another addition was encrypted information about when the product was produced, how many days have passed since it hit the shelf. All this information is received not only by the buyer. With each scan, information is automatically sent to the manufacturer and retailer, thereby making the entire product lifecycle transparent. And finally, 1-2 days before the product's expiration date, you can scan it and get a certain discount from the system when buying. Future plans for this technology relate to individual user preferences. So, a consumer can turn to a manufacturer with a wish, for example, to add bitterness to a drink with a certain unique code. The authors of the technology say that it can be used in the food industry and in other areas - for example, where air conditioning is used and detailed information about the equipment is needed. More information about the technology can be found on the TagItSmart website: tagitsmart.eu

The participants of the "Digital Economy & e-Business" section discussed global trends, tools and technologies within Industry 4.0.
The digital theme continued in the following sections of the conference. The speakers presented their opinions and authoring developments during their speeches at such sections as "Industrial IoT: Risks & Information Security", "Wireless & IoT Technologies".
