Abstract
Industry 4.0 is the historical evolution of the 4th Industrial Revolution that extensively adapt or apply Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) building the infrastructure that support innovative, efficient and sustainable industrial production and supply chains through the development, and implementation of technology and artificial intelligence systems. Industry 4.0 has been adopted by industrial companies, and governments, US, Europe, China, India leading to enable the sustainability and performances of the companies. The technologies, platforms and systems supporting the sustainable developments and the integration of these technologies in order to enhance environmentally sustainable industries and their green supply chains are also directed at the circular economy. The research in progress reported in this paper demonstrates the increasing positive impacts of the application of I4.0 in industry supporting sustainability and circular economy. The research discusses solutions for the adoption of I4.0 technologies based on a systematic review of existing approaches that include application of Internet of Things (IoT), big data, additive manufacturing or 3D printing, digital twins, blockchain and cloud based computing. This project aims at developing a framework and methodology for an effective application or adoption of I4.0 technologies for sustainability and building the circular economy (CE).
