Industry 4.0 Impacts on the Sustainable Product, Process, and Material

Approaches, Opportunities, and Challenges for Eco-design 4.0

  • 352 Accesses

Abstract

Design for the environment is mainly discussed from three perspectives of material, product, and process. The implications of Industry 4.0 technology on these three perspectives were not the prime focus of prior research. In this chapter, a synthesis of DfE literature is performed to consider (1) the new trends and research practices, (2) the tools and methods, (3) data-driven and product-service systems-oriented design, and (4) the principles of DfE. Then, based on the gaps in these four pillars, the impacts of five Industry 4.0 technologies on material, product, and process are discussed. The research gaps in each part considering product’s life cycle (design, manufacturing, use phase, and EoL) and in three horizons of strategic, tactical, and operational are provided.
