“…The CPS discussed in this text can be defined as systems where hardware and software parts are interconnected to yield results on a large scale [15,16]. A literature review with a systematic approach to Industry 4.0 deals with energy efficiency, and its concerns and challenges [17,18]. Hence, we can see that Industry 4.0 is a major component of CPS and IoT.…”

“…There is clear evidence that if Industry 4.0 is integrated with the SDGs, environmental sustainability will be promoted. However, negative effects on environmental performance can result if Industry 4.0 and environmental sustainability are not well-aligned [17,42]. Another factor that can alter future responses is the starting point in terms of the structure of industries since these responses can be different according to the country of origin and its development stage [53].…”

Impact of Industry 4.0 on Environmental Sustainability

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.

“…The industrial sector, being one of the largest entities for consuming energy [1], is responsible for 30% of total carbon emission [2]. Further, the up-rising of energy expenses, stringent environmental restrictions, and fossil fuel depletion have shaped increased demand to the reduction of energy consumption and its associated costs in the industries [3].…”

The necessity to ensure energy efficiency in the industries is of significant importance to attain reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions. Energy management is one of the effective features that ensure energy efficiency in the industries. Energy management models are the infancy in the industrial energy domain with practical guidelines towards implementation in the organizations. Despite the increased interest in energy efficiency, a gap exists concerning energy management literature and present application practices. This paper aims to methodologically review the energy management assessment models that facilitate the assessment of industrial energy management. In this context, the minimum requirements model, maturity model, energy management matrix model, and energy efficiency measures characterization framework are discussed with implications. The study concludes with interesting propositions for academia and industrial think tanks delineating few further research opportunities.

“…Several challenges/barriers related to Industry 4.0 [7], [8], [20], [21] and more specifically ICPS [2]- [4] have emerged. Combining such challenges, with the results of this analysis but also the essential information issued in the Multi-Annual Plans (MASPs) and Strategic Research and Innovation Agendas (SRIAs) of Industrial Associations and Platforms like [26], [27], [29], enables the calibration of such insights.…”
