The Application of Industry 4.0 Technological Constituents for Sustainable Manufacturing: A Content-Centric Review

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(7), С. 4327 - 4327

Опубликована: Апрель 6, 2022

Industry 4.0 has been associated with the rise of disruptive intelligence and information technologies. These cutting-edge technologies have potential to increase productivity while simultaneously having a significant impact on social environmental sustainability. As result, manufacturers must evaluate role these innovative in sustainable development, as address prevalent sustainability issues. A content-centric study implementation manufacturing is currently absent. systematic literature was conducted explain contribution novel economic, social, dimensions industries. This describes how are used manufacturing. The findings this particularly beneficial practitioners who seek apply one or more digital development.

Theorizing the Principles of Sustainable Production in the context of Circular Economy and Industry 4.0

Sustainable Production and Consumption, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 33, С. 1043 - 1058

Опубликована: Авг. 20, 2022

The concept of Sustainable Production is evolving with changes triggered by the emergence new economic and industrial models such as Circular Economy Industry 4.0. However, most studies that currently link these concepts are based on principles defined 20 years ago. Therefore, primary aim this study to redefine should govern operations in transition towards a smart industry models. To end, an initial proposal 11 was shared world-class experts (academics practitioners) consensus sought through Delphi Panel. Ten emerged from study, which were evaluated according criteria significance, parsimony, semantic consistency empirical adequacy. Additionally, relationships between ten principles, Interpretative Structural Model (ISM) technique applied. ISM identified independent or dependent each other established principles. findings suggest Principle 5 (“Prioritize employees' well-being”), 6 (“Enhance management commitment sustainability”), 9 (“Measure optimize sustainable processes”) 10 (“Boost use technologies”) help establish ideal context enhance development rest characterize Production. presentation opens possibilities for researchers while helping managers better understand sustainability terms production and, therefore contribute achieving SDG 12.

Industry 4.0 Implementation Projects: The Cleaner Production Strategy—A Literature Review

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(3), С. 2161 - 2161

Опубликована: Янв. 24, 2023

The industrial impacts on the environment need to be minimized reduce climate change, which will benefit human beings. Industry 4.0, new production paradigm, promises productivity gains for companies that manage implement it, but it is also dependent natural resources, impacting environment. aim of this study identify and analyze possible cleaner strategies associated with 4.0 optimize manufacturing systems in implementation projects, addition reducing environmental these companies. Through a literature search, were identified classified into ten dimensions (strategy, waste, recycling, life cycle, energy, production, work, performance environment) contributing theory. possibilities using technologies analyzed meet each dimension. relevance lies presenting developing applications helping those involved projects more stably, theory practice.

Impact of Industry 4.0 on corporate environmental sustainability: Comparing practitioners’ perceptions from China, Brazil and Germany

Sustainable Production and Consumption, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 31, С. 287 - 300

Опубликована: Фев. 25, 2022

Industrial production needs to be fundamentally transformed if the UN Sustainable Development Goals shall met. Digital technologies can potentially drive such a sustainable transformation, but two main objectives of environmental sustainability must considered for achieving this target: decarbonisation and dematerialisation. We empirically investigate potentials these by employing survey-based approach, investigating companies' developments in China, Brazil, Germany, variety industrial sectors, companies different sizes. These cases provide insight on multi-country perspective into digitalisation countries with pre-conditions digital which is novelty research field. show that even though most practitioners expect an improvement their respective company due application Industry 4.0 technologies, factual improvements resource efficiency energy consumption are not expected develop similarly optimistic fashion. findings challenge assumed effects discussed vast majority prior literature expresses high hopes positive impacts . This interpreted as indication will automatically lead instead transformation towards more economy accompanied supporting measures. On side we find higher current level companies, greater ability match supply actual demand likelihood participating Demand Response schemes. important prerequisite stabilisation efficient use future renewable systems. Our study provides insights policy makers also fellow researchers regarding trends implementation how far they support sustainability. conclude concept should always critically evaluated against background SDGs supplemented combination regulation incentives through governing bodies, includes setting binding targets saving material reducing non-recyclable waste.
