Industry 4.0 refers to a set of technologies that facilitate the development of value chain, resulting in shorter lead times, higher quality products and better organisational performance. These innovative smart technologies have the potential to address widespread sustainability concerns, while having the capacity to enhance production, and can morally impact sustainable development. Recently, manufacturing sector has vital influence on environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainability, owing to their substantial demands on energy, water, materials and other resources. The goal of this study is to analyse sustainable manufacturing and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) research studies with an emphasis on manufacturing domain. To clarify how these revolutionary technologies might affect sustainability of manufacturing industries, systematic literature review (SLR) of prior studies on sustainable manufacturing and I4.0 featuring from its conception to performance measures was done. To conduct the review, literature search was directed using SCOPUS and Web of Science databases. A total of 442 articles that were published in reputed journals between 2009 and 2022 were shortlisted for comprehensive review. The study conclusions gave vital information on several viewpoints of sustainable I4.0 in manufacturing organisation. A conceptual framework with five layers based on SLR was established to direct and aid manufacturing industries towards sustainable I4.0 implementation. The framework supports manufacturing sector to focus on sustainable I4.0 for sustainable economic value creation and development using digital technologies.

可持续制造和工业 4.0 的最新技术审查


工业 4.0 是指一组促进价值链发展的技术，从而缩短交货时间、提高产品质量和提高组织绩效。这些创新的智能技术有可能解决广泛的可持续性问题，同时具有提高生产的能力，并且可以在道德上影响可持续发展。近年来，由于制造业对能源、水、材料和其他资源的巨大需求，它们对可持续发展的环境、社会和经济方面产生了至关重要的影响。本研究的目的是分析可持续制造和工业 4.0 （I4.0） 研究，重点是制造领域。为了阐明这些革命性技术如何影响制造业的可持续性，对先前关于可持续制造和 I4.0 的研究进行了系统的文献回顾 （SLR），从概念到绩效衡量。为了进行综述，使用 SCOPUS 和 Web of Science 数据库进行文献检索。442 年至 2009 年间在知名期刊上发表的 2022 篇文章入围综合评审。研究结论提供了有关制造组织中可持续 I4.0 的几个观点的重要信息。建立了一个基于 SLR 的五层概念框架，以指导和帮助制造业实现可持续的 I4.0 实施。该框架支持制造业专注于可持续 I4.0，以利用数字技术创造和发展可持续的经济价值。
