“…Nowadays, Industry 4.0 is a revolutionary change based on disruptive technologies and trends integration (Internet, robotics, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence), which are changing people's lives and work. It is characterized by (i) the massive Internet use, the development of cheaper, smaller, and stronger sensors, (ii) rapid spread of information technology (IT), (iii) the development of a Collaborative Common, (iii) the transition from conventional fossil fuel-based economy to the renewable energy economy as circular economy and bioeconomy concepts, the spread of the newest IT, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems (CPSs), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), artificial neural networks (ANN), and (v) the 3-D printer (Lee et al 2018;Groumpos 2021;Javaid et al 2022). The industrial revolutions and their main characteristics are illustrated in Fig.…”

“…It was characterized by: (i) revolutionary inventions such as the internal combustion engine, the telegraph, the telephone, computers, automatic operations, plastics, electricity, chemical synthesis, and the automobile, among others, and (ii) the design of automated assembly lines in industrial production, among others. Industry 3.0 (from 1970 to the present) was based on the revolutionary improvement and use of: (i) electronics, telecommunications, and computers; (ii) new research lines such as space expeditions, biotechnology, and nanotechnology, among others; (iii) new industrial technologies such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and robots to achieve high-level automation (Lee et al 2018;Groumpos 2021;Javaid et al 2022).…”

Manufacturing processes and their economy are dramatically evolving due to machinery and digital control improvements. Artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and the Internet of Things are key tools for this new industrial revolution era based on Industry 4.0. Bioeconomy and circular economy concepts have appeared in the forest, agriculture, food, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, chemical, biotechnological, and energy areas, etc., to achieve sustainable economic growth development via biomass valorization in a biorefinery platform. Biorefinery process development at an industrial scale requires the previous design and assessment of processes and technologies. Therefore, economic, environmental, and social factors should be evaluated to prevent the failure in one of these issues that could affect the performance of the others. With a growing interest in sustainable economic development, there is a need to incorporate new technologies early enough in the process design. This study aims to better understand how Industry 4.0 era tools can bring new solutions to the biorefinery process design, in terms of the technical, economic, environmental, and social factors. Thus, these tools could improve and revolutionize the process selection optimization, provide alternatives for biomass valorization, integration strategies, and the metrics selection for process evaluation, adding the approach toward sustainable economic development.

“…The Third Industrial Revolution (3IR), which started in the 1950's with the introduction of the first computers, continued with significant technology advances, notably semiconductions, personal computers, and the internet. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), emerging from the Third, revolves around the application of information and communication technologies beyond the industry, to the wider activities of the society (Groumpos, 2021).…”

The global aviation sector has never had a greater crisis than what it is experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic. While passenger numbers are growing, COVID-19 remains a threat. This interdisciplinary study maps airport passenger services digitalization research referring to passenger satisfaction. The study tracks the influence of touchless airport services, as well as global pandemic COVID-19, focusing on the safety and encouragement of airport passengers. Study aims to identify a gap between the level of expectation and satisfaction of Riga International Airport (RIX) passengers. An empirical survey was conducted on passengers who have experience of using airport services prior to and during the COVID-19. In total, 1315 questionnaires were analysed by employing a SERVQUAL model. This study can be used to create policy recommendations in order to implement the safety measures and other types of airport services focusing on further improvement during and after COVID-19. Article concludes that COVID-19 changed passenger habits significantly, it left long lasting impact on confidence, and willingness to travel has been tempered by concerns over the risks of catching COVID-19. The lessons learned of COVID-19 require accelerating new processes with less face-to-face (F2F) contact enabling and encouraging all passengers, despite age, gender, education, race, disability or other personal qualities, the right having safe and user-friendly services.

“…The second industrial revolution resulted in the development of electricity and mass production. This revolutionised manufacturing, among other sectors, allowing for an increase in the labor force, industry development, and subsequent wealth generation (Mohajan, 2020;Groumpos, 2021). Various countries benefited from this, and South African industries kept abreast with progress so that the country has the second-biggest economy in Africa, behind Nigeria (IMF, 2017).…”

Societal impact reflects the changes that transform the society which affect the well-being of individuals and their families. This study aimed to understand the perceived societal impact of the fourth industrial revolution in South Africa. The investigation used an exploratory mixed research method, with six experts in round table discussion (focus group) and a survey questionnaire with 1,1105 responses. The findings of the study confirm the existential relational proposition that the fourth industrial revolution has a societal impact in South Africa. It is influenced by socio-demographic (province, age) and socio-economic (education and employment) factors. The findings also revealed that the perceived highest impact of fourth industrial revolution’s will be on improved re-industrialisation (RII = 68.6 percent), increase in work mobility (RII = 68.1 percent) and improved service delivery (65.1 percent). Regarding benefits, if correctly leveraged, these new disruptive technologies create a significant opportunity to leapfrog the advancements made in the previous industrial revolutions and help develop society. However, this might widen socio-economic gaps further, especially if there is no action to change the status quo of the highly unequal society in South Africa.
