The knowledge of multiple fields such as industry 4.0, supply chain management, logistic supply chain management and CPEC project plans have been synthesized. An attempt has been made to model a future state created through CPEC facilities and initiatives. A model framework is presented based on the core infrastructure of CPEC projects, which will push Pakistan towards industrialization through utilizing modern manufacturing techniques and establishment of supply web. The CPEC supply web model proposes to create high quality, mass customized products from raw material and parts to be supplied from local and nearby regions through efficient logistic pathway of CPEC and BRI. A supply chain operational reference (SCOR) model has also been developed for an insight into the scenario. It is important for investors, trade associations, businessmen and policy makers to understand the population, market, and economic dynamics along with modern manufacturing trends to create smart factories and supply chains in context of CPEC. The lessons learned from the planning, development and application of the solutions presented by CPEC can be utilized by other regions and countries depending on their relevant unique geostrategic and economic perspectives.

But the paucity of progress and advancement in the field of prosthetics is failing the provision of artificial limbs for doomed amputees. This field demands extensive work, consideration and dedication for amelioration of damned Pakistani populace. This research aims to provide amputees the potential for their routine life errands; to ameliorate their pecuniary and personal autonomy through the establishment of bionic elbow joint. Presently, many developed countries are functioning well in the realm of prosthetics, and are offering mobile and user friendly feigned limbs to amputees but a catholic research work is obligatory in Pakistan to create cost-effective and handy artificial limbs. This delve rally round to study the subject of biomedical engineering and its relevant techniques in detail with the help of Matlab, DAQNavi, ANSYS. It explores mathematical techniques and artificial intelligence for the study of electromyographic signals; likewise Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), dynamic recurrent neural networks (DRNN), and fuzzy logic system.

Structure and operation of the first generation of snake-like climber robot "Marak I" has been discussed. The gait planning for two dimensional locomotion of a novel snake-like climber robot "Marak I" is presented. The types of locomotion investigated were rectilinear and wheeling gaits. The gaits of locomotion were experimented and their suitability for various applications has been mentioned. Some encountered practical problems plus solutions were addressed. Finally we found out that: the vertical motion was producing more fault than horizontal locomotion, and notably the fastest gait of locomotion was the wheeling gait.

To cope with this limitation of robots, vision based servoing can prove very effective. In this paper, a low cost and very efficient prototype visual servoing system is presented in which an articulated robot has been used with off-the-shelf imaging and computer hardware. A camera, mounted above the gripper of the robot, provides images of the scene and through image processing the features of the object to be manipulated are extracted in real time and sent to the robot controller. Robot controller moves the robot gripper accordingly and objects of different geometries, placed randomly on the conveyor belt, can be handled. Results show near 100% efficiency for test parts, placed at least 1.5cm apart, while the speed of operation has been foun...
