Exploring industry 4.0 technologies for sustainable development goals: a systematic literature review

In recent years, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has emerged as a most significant concept in global manufacturing. Empirical research in the field of I4.0 or Smart Manufacturing (SM) is dominating continuously with great emphasis on conceptual models and case studies. Literature reviews of I4.0 or SM are less portrayed as compared to other manufacturing theories. In the present study, a categorized review of the published literature on I4.0 and SM is lucubrated and precisely visualized. The study examines the research trends in Industry 4.0 (I4.0) from 2011 to 2022, focusing on various parameters like definitions, research methods, journals, and authors to support sustainable development. It analyzed 121 articles, categorizing them by enablers, barriers, and sustainability aspects of I4.0. China, the USA, India, and Germany lead in publishing on I4.0. While conceptual models dominate, there’s a growing focus on case studies and mathematical modeling. The study highlights challenges small industries face in adopting I4.0 due to resource constraints and emphasizes the need for government and expert support. It also shows that integrating Lean and Six Sigma with I4.0 can improve efficiency. However, the research lacks clarity on I4.0’s long-term impacts, and few studies explore non-manufacturing sectors. The study concludes by identifying opportunities for further research, particularly in mathematical modeling, supply chain management, and linking sustainability with I4.0 technologies.
