Society's consumption of natural resources and the impact of industrial activities on the environment has gained increasing attention over the last several decades. This paper provides a historical perspective on the origins of the environmental movement and its connection to industrial systems. Then, recent research related to product design, process improvement and change, green manufacturing planning, and the circular economy are described. With respect to product design, topics such as material selection and component light-weighting are considered. For process-related research, efforts such as operation changes and equipment design for reduced energy consumption are discussed. For manufacturing planning, new developments in process planning and production scheduling are highlighted that consider environmental performance. The concept of circular economy is examined critically, with particular emphasis placed on closing materials loops via recycling and remanufacturing. The paper concludes with a discussion of challenges and opportunities to achieve the goal of industrial sustainability.

Abstract-The development of cyber-physical systems (CPS) requires various engineering disciplines, artifacts, and areas of expertise to collaborate. Powerful software tools are used during this development process, but while successful in one individual discipline, it is often challenging to integrate with other tools. Several studies have been done on integration solutions for these toolchains. However, the possibility of including the sustainability concept to the interoperability strategies is rarely studied. This paper discusses an approach to include sustainability aspects while improving the interoperability of toolchains in CPS manufacturing. To this end, an automobile manufacturing process has been studied as a use case, and relevant sustainability metrics for each stage of the process are identified. Life cycle sustainability assessment methodology is used to identify the sustainability metrics, and the use case is employed to exemplify how some of these metrics can be integrated with interoperable toolchains to illustrate the applicability of the approach.

“…The industry 4.0 is a new technological revolution in the industry, where was applied some specialized methods and techniques to increase the warranty of functionality, security and optimization of the manufactured products of the different industries, fabricating with high quality and the required quantity of products manufactured, and also increase the efficiency of the operative yielding of industrial equipment, machinery and systems and reduce the errors of workers and defective products fabricated (Swat et al, 2014;Jia et al, 2012). This investigation was made to evaluate the application of the internet of things as a part of the industry 4.0 in an automotive industry of Tijuana, which manufactures complete cars, and where was evaluated the operation of electronic sensors that was utilized to make a function of visibility in cars to avoid accidents, and was used a computer system to obtain numerical data and stored in a cloud factor.…”

An investigation was made in an automotive industry considered as industry 4.0 in the city of Tijuana, Baja California, which is the northwest zone of the Mexican Republic, evaluating optical sensors to optimize the visibility in cars, as the internet of things (IOT) process, to improve the productivity and quality yielding in the manufacturing areas of this industry evaluated. The main objective of this scientific study was the analysis of the operational yielding of electronic sensors used in the industrial operations to count, control and obtain and safeguarding numerical data of parameters of the sensors evaluated as numerical in a data base in a cloud and in a computer system, as an innovation technology. This investigation shows also a correlation analysis of the implementation of innovation system in industrial process of the industry where was made the scientific study, with the evaluation of the operative yielding as innovation with the productivity and quality indices. The correlation analysis was made with the Spearmen method. This was made to determine the levels of impact on the functionality of these electronic sensors on the productivity and quality indices that led to the economic profit factor, as an aspect of innovation, technology and economy in this evaluated industry. The evaluations were with the MatLab software, using statistical methods as the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and the Spearmen used to evaluate the reliability of the instrument as a questionnaire, with five managers of the industry evaluated about the use of these electronic sensors. The principal objective of this investigation was to determine the principal reason to use the industry 4.0 tools as IOT to improve industrial process in an automotive industry that is a relevant industry in the worldwide. Results shows the importance of the use of this type of industry 4.0 tool.
