Technology-Driven Sustainability: Exploring the Synergy Between Industry 4.0 and Green Manufacturing

Green manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are related concepts in the manufacturing sector that complement each another. Today, the necessity for corporate growth strongly influences the adoption of novel production concepts. Industry 4.0 processes make use of cutting-edge technologies like clean, green energy, automation, the Internet of Things (IoT), and digitization. Green manufacturing is similar in that it uses fewer natural resources, has a smaller environmental impact, and produces fewer emissions. The ability to expand sustainably is currently one of the most crucial strategies for a country, and every country is making a concentrated effort to employ these kinds of instruments and processes to hasten its development. This chapter's goal is to demonstrate the potential of numerous sectors with Industry 4.0 in tandem with green manufacturing, leading to a grasp of the cutting-edge technology used for each industry's particular environmental production and management processes. The function of different Industry 4.0 technologies and how they affect production sustainability are covered in detail. The chapter proposes novel research goals and potential study objectives in a number of Industry 4.0 research domains for the purpose to accomplish sustainability in production using Industry 4.0 technologies.
