Sustainable Manufacturing in the Industry 4.0 Era





The fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, envisions the integration of manufacturing technologies, advanced sensing, and ubiquitous computing capabilities, as well as big data and artificial intelligence to enable fully-integrated and collaborative manufacturing environments. With increasingly interconnected, digitalized machines and systems Industry 4.0 could also have revolutionary implications for environmental protection and societal well-being.



Sustainable Manufacturing in the era of Industry 4.0 is only feasible through a total and multi-lifecycle based approach to closed-loop material flow by adopting the 6Rs of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, Redesign and Remanufacture.
