“…In addition to complexity in natural and technological settings which always affects the level of understanding, if we may have missed some critical factors for the system that we are studying and the quality of our decision-making could be affected too. Besides, considering the structural, functional, and qualitative aspects are of great importance [116]. Policymakers would benefit from scenario-based research; they will be able to predict the existence of impacts caused by the reshaping of Industry 4.0 to production systems.…”

Industry 4.0 is a concept that originated from the German industry, and whose essence is the use of technology for efficient production. In business today, the emergence of Industry 4.0 for production, and its related technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber-physical systems, amongst others, have, however, a negative impact on environmental sustainability as a result of air pollution, the poor discharge of waste, and the intensive use of raw materials, information, and energy. The method used in this study is an analysis of a literature review of manuscripts discussing topics related to Industry 4.0 and environmental sustainability published between 2000 and 2020. There is currently a gap existing between the actual and the desired situation, in that production occurs in a weak sustainability model, and, therefore, this research debates the effects on environmental sustainability and the challenges facing Industry 4.0. Four scenarios are discussed: a deployment scenario, an operation scenario, integration and compliance with sustainable development goals, and a long-run scenario. The results indicate that there is a negative relationship related to the flow of the production process from the inputs to the final product, including raw materials, energy requirements, information, and waste disposal, and their impacts on the environment. However, the integration of Industry 4.0 and the sustainable development goals enhance environmental sustainability to create ecological support that guarantees high environmental performance with a more positive impact than before. This paper will help stakeholders and companies to provide solutions to the existing environmental challenges that can be mediated through adopting new technologies. The novelty of this study is its depiction of Industry 4.0 and its technologies integrated with sustainable development goals to create a sustainable Industry 4.0 combining environmental protection and sustainability.

“…Industry 4.0 is about digital transformation, which, in conjunction with digitization and digitalization, aims to migrate industry to a new era of ecosystem-wide interactions and increased optimization of its business processes via the usage of ICT. These processes imply changes and adjustments for all actors along the industry value stream and value chain, and associated business process [15]. For such change to happen, the stakeholders must be buy-in to the new capabilities offered by the Industry 4.0-compliant solutions.…”

“…tructures, semantics, interoperability, as well as emergent technologies such as Industrial IoT, Big Data and advanced data analytics, digitized lifecycle engineering. Additionally, in the ICPS context, engineers are not anymore dealing only with the physical counterpart, i.e., hardware, but increasingly with the cyber counterpart of complex industrial systems, which requires an integrative learning process to understand their interplay, how to link systems in their [15] and what the impacts might be. Lifelong learning is seen as crucial here, since due to the rapid advances in hardware but mostly in software, the acquired knowledge quickly becomes obsolete and needs to be kept pertinent.…”

“…In the Industry 4.0 context, several aspects come into play, including virtualization of products and services, new business models that are data-driven, and creation of collaborative ecosystems that bring business value [14], [15]. To realize this, autonomous and modular ICPS in production is needed, that can exhibit self-X features such as selforganization, self-optimization, self-adaptation, etc., all of which are vital to providing capabilities for decentralized and autonomous decision-making, connectivity and interoperability, modularity, service-orientation, optimized and realtime decision-making, virtualization, and human-machine integration.…”

Industry 4.0 vision and its mandated digital transformation are radically reshaping the way business is carried out and the way overall industrial processes and collaborations are operating. In this work, the objective is to analyze the current level of adoption of Industry 4.0, via the footprint available in industrial and academic research works. The analysis performed reveals insights on how Industry 4.0 has impacted and is still influencing research and innovation in industrial systems, services, and business approaches. It also reveals pertinent trends on key enabling features, technologies and challenges associated with this 4 th industrial revolution, mainly focusing on the pathways for wider industrial adoption of Industry 4.0-compliant technologies and solutions.
