Avaliação do impacto da indústria 4.0 na sustentabilidade de sistemas produtivos a partir de revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The growing concern for the planet’s future and the search for sustainable development models have driven the integration between technology and sustainability, especially with the advancement of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, known as Industry 4.0. This study analyzes how Industry 4.0 technologies - such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and Blockchain - can enable sustainable practices in the industrial sector. The research, qualitative in nature and exploratory in character, is based on a systematic literature review using the Methodi Ordinatio methodology, complemented by case studies that highlight the relationship between digital transformation and sustainability. The study addresses the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability, as well as circular economy and supply chain management as strategic pillars. The results indicate that industrial digitalization contributes to optimizing processes, reducing waste, and promoting the efficient use of resources, thereby strengthening the principles of the circular economy and the resilience of production chains. It is concluded that Industry 4.0 redefines the concept of sustainability by integrating technological innovation, operational efficiency, and environmental responsibility, aligning itself with the goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
