The problem lies in the need to evaluate its impact on operational efficiency and security. Prior to its implementation, the company had deficiencies in traceability, regulatory compliance and security, and employees did not have a clear understanding of the impact of this system on these aspects. To assess this impact, a mixed methodology was used, combining a document review and a questionnaire structured in five key sections: general data, perception of safety, operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and challenges and benefits of the system. The results indicate improvements in performance indicators: on-time deliveries increased from 88 % to 96 %, returns were reduced by 51,4 %, fleet downtime decreased by 43,7 %, and occupational accidents decreased by 59 %. These findings demonstrate the tangible benefits of BASC, constituting a benchmark for companies in the sector that seek to optimize their processes, strengthen their safety systems and improve regulatory compliance, contributing to a more competitive environment that strengthens trust with customers and employees.</p> 2025-06-10T00:00:00-05:00 Copyright (c) 2025 https://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Ingenieria_industrial/article/view/7607 Design and implementation of an electronic device for reading assistance of printed texts using computer vision for visually impaired people 2025-06-11T16:58:52-05:00 Cristhian Kevin Rafael Rosales crafaelr@uni.pe José Erasmo Salazar Minchan jose.salazar.m@uni.pe Jorge Enrique Ortiz Porras jortizp@uni.edu.pe <p>This article presents the design and implementation of an electronic device to assist visually impaired people in reading printed texts.

Methods for the removal of this non-metal turn out to be inefficient and expensive. A new nanocomposite based on tara gum and magnetite nanoparticles was prepared for the removal of arsenic from water. The characterization of the nanocomposites prepared with different Fe3O4: tara gum ratios showed the presence of the magnetite phase by XRD and it was also measurement the particle size (13.74 nm) by TEM. The arsenic removal tests in water carried out with the nanocomposites with different magnetite content, pH variation and nanocomposite weight showed that the nanocomposite with 80% by weight of magnetite presented higher efficiency. The maximum values studied for arsenic concentration were 2 ppm, reaching 24.8% removal in 15 minutes of exposure using the nanocomposite with 80% magnetite nanoparticles.</p> 2025-06-10T00:00:00-05:00 Copyright (c) 2025
