    The COVID-19 outbreak has affected business activities in many industries that can be disrupted by customer behavior. Logistics system plays the major role for response customer satisfaction. This research aims to develop logistics system in customer satisfaction context during COVID-19 situation in Thailand using Industry 4.0 principles. This paper presents the overview of Industry 4.0 and logistics system, the evaluation of customer satisfaction in logistics system during COVID-19 situation, and the applications of Industry 4.0 for logistics system in customer satisfaction context during COVID-19 situation. This study is conducted using focus group and interview with managers from large logistics service providers in Thailand. Results indicate that the use of Industry 4.0 technologies and the development of employees' skills are the potential solutions for reducing the effects of COVID-19 in logistics system. IoT, Cloud, and Big Data support all of customer satisfaction factors. It is also found that the use of appropriate Industry 4.0 technologies and the improvement of the logistics system are the critical aspects for enhancing business competitiveness during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The first COVID-19 is discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and rapidly spread to millions of people all over the world. COVID-19 heavily affects the industrial business and economy of many countries, including Thailand. This study aims at exploring the effects of COVID-19 on the targeted (S-Curve) industries of Thailand and investigating the ways to improve business operations with the utilization of the appropriate Industry 4.0 technologies. The paper presents (1) Industry 4.0 background and the First S-Curve and the New S-Curve industries of Thailand (2) Data collection and analysis (3) The effects of COVID-19 on business operations. The characteristics of each industry, the requirements of business and operator to cope with Industry 4.0, and the implementations of Industry 4.0 technologies during the situation of COVID-19 are analyzed by using a focus group, online questionnaires and interviews. Results show that customer behavior is a major issue on business operations and IoT is the most critical technology in supporting business operations and reducing the impacts of COVID-19. It has also been found that the functions of technologies depend on the characteristics of each industry. Results from this study can assist companies to obtain a better understanding of the critical functions of technologies that suit their characteristics best and develop operator's skills properly for increasing business competitiveness.

    Environmental noise annoyance has been recognized as one of the major problems in industrial communities. Noise annoyance is generally related to poor work performance, unsafe behavior among operators, and unhappy local residents. The purpose of this study is to analyze the environmental noise characteristics affecting the annoyance level of residents living nearby the factory case study. The assessment methods include acoustical factors analysis focusing on sound pressure and spectrum levels and noise survey reports showing noise nuisance complaints. This study has found that low to medium frequency noise at over 40 dBA has a significant impact on sleep disturbance among local residents. The results obtained from this study can serve as a technical guide for designing active and passive noise reduction systems.

    Construction is one of the most hazardous industries compared to others. Although, system safety has been adopted, accidents continually occur with Thai and foreign workers. Particularly, the number accidents of foreign workers that trend increased due to language differences. The purpose of this research is to assess risks among Thai and foreign workers in construction companies using the Risk Assessment Model (RAM) to assess risk levels of each careers and accident types that happen to Thai and Foreign workers. The results from this study showed a different risk level between Thai and foreign workers of each careers, including types of construction accidents. In conclusion, this was found to be beneficial for predicting high-risk construction activities and preventing accidents that further happen.

    Evaluation of fall recovery and gait adaptation to medial and lateral gait perturbations

    The aim of this study was to develop an active gait perturbation system and to evaluate its efficacy in evaluating fall recovery and gait adaptation. We hypothesized that a translating perturbation during the single stance phase would alter gait adaptations, in terms of gait parameters and muscle co-contractions, during recovery to maintain dynamic stability for continued walking. A customized miniature treadmill, built on a large force plate and embedded perpendicular to the walkway, was used to translate the loaded stance foot medially and laterally to interrupt swing foot trajectory. The perturbation was activated when the stepping foot was placed entirely on the belt to ensure the foot would remain on the belt when translated. The translating floor surface was applied to 10 young, healthy adult subjects (5 males, 5 females; aged <35y) during normal walking at their preferred speed. Step length, step width, step duration, and muscle co-contraction at the ankle of the stance limb was examined before, during, and after both the medial and lateral translations. Shorter step length, wider step width, faster step duration, and higher muscle co-contraction at the ankle joint were observed strategies for fall recovery and regaining body stability.
