“…This innovative industrial model is recognized for its virtual and digital placement and excellent technological standing. The technologies that are now in use in Industry 4.0 are not necessarily brand new; what is revolutionary is the integration of various technologies, which enables the industry to behave dynamically and respond swiftly to the needs of the internal and external environment (Eswaran and Bahubalendruni, 2022). These technologies make it possible to conduct leaner and more efficient production processes.…”

Purpose Environmental sustainability is quickly becoming one of the most critical issues in industry development. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review through which the author can provide various research areas to work on for future researchers and provide insight into Industry 4.0 and environmental sustainability. Design/methodology/approach This study accomplishes this by performing a backward analysis using text mining on the Scopus database. Latent semantic analysis (LSA) was used to analyze the corpus of 4,364 articles published between 2013 and 2023. The authors generated ten clusters using keywords in the industrial revolution and environmental sustainability domain, highlighting ten research avenues for further exploration. Findings In this study, three research questions discuss the role of environmental sustainability with Industry 4.0. The author predicted ten clusters treated as recent trends on which more insight is required from future researchers. The authors provided year-wise analysis, top authors, top countries, top sources and network analysis related to the topic. Finally, the study provided industrialization’s effect on environmental sustainability and the future aspect of automation. Research limitations/implications The reliability of the current study may be compromised, notwithstanding the size of the sample used. Poor retrieval of the literature corpus can be attributed to the limitations imposed by the search words, synonyms, string construction and variety of search engines used, as well as to the accurate exclusion of results for which the search string is insufficient. Originality/value This research is the first-ever study in which a natural language processing technique is implemented to predict future research areas based on the keywords–document relationship.

“…Many industrial sectors, such as aeronautics and aerospace, automotive, and biomedical, among others, have made significant changes in their manufacturing processes due to the recent developments of industry 4.0, which has led to innovative products with high-quality products, reducing time-to-market, materials, and energy use, with a higher degree of geometric freedom [ 147 , 148 , 149 ]. These changes include transfer from physical to digital connections, connecting embedded systems and intelligent production processes, using sensing and control tools, augmented reality, cognitive systems, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, autonomous robotics, and digital design, among others [ 3 ].…”

Environmentally Responsive Materials for Building Envelopes: A Review on Manufacturing and Biomimicry-Based Approaches

Buildings must adapt and respond dynamically to their environment to reduce their energy loads and mitigate environmental impacts. Several approaches have addressed responsive behavior in buildings, such as adaptive and biomimetic envelopes. However, biomimetic approaches lack sustainability consideration, as conducted in biomimicry approaches. This study provides a comprehensive review of biomimicry approaches to develop responsive envelopes, aiming to understand the connection between material selection and manufacturing. This review of the last five years of building construction and architecture-related studies consisted of a two-phase search query, including keywords that answered three research questions relating to the biomimicry and biomimetic-based building envelopes and their materials and manufacturing and excluding other non-related industrial sectors. The first phase focused on understanding biomimicry approaches implemented in building envelopes by reviewing the mechanisms, species, functions, strategies, materials, and morphology. The second concerned the case studies relating to biomimicry approaches and envelopes. Results highlighted that most of the existing responsive envelope characteristics are achievable with complex materials requiring manufacturing processes with no environmentally friendly techniques. Additive and controlled subtractive manufacturing processes may improve sustainability, but there is still some challenge to developing materials that fully adapt to large-scale and sustainability needs, leaving a significant gap in this field.

“…However, human-robot collaborative manufacturing systems provide an opportunity to cope with the demands of mass production and mass customization requirements. Despite numerous struggles in fulfilling the challenges faced by assemblybased industries, reconfigurability is a tedious process that can bring severe changes in the manufacturing system with the help of advanced techniques (Eswaran et al, 2023a(Eswaran et al, , 2023bEswaran and Bahubalendruni, 2022).…”

Purpose In the current era of Industry 4.0, the manufacturing industries are striving toward mass production with mass customization by considering human–robot collaboration. This study aims to propose the reconfiguration of assembly systems by incorporating multiple humans with robots using a human–robot task allocation (HRTA) to enhance productivity. Design/methodology/approach A human–robot task scheduling approach has been developed by considering task suitability, resource availability and resource selection through multicriteria optimization using the Linear Regression with Optimal Point and Minimum Distance Calculation algorithm. Using line-balancing techniques, the approach estimates the optimum number of resources required for assembly tasks operating by minimum idle time. Findings The task allocation schedule for a case study involving a punching press was solved using human–robot collaboration, and the approach incorporated the optimum number of appropriate resources to handle different types of proportion of resources. Originality/value This proposed work integrates the task allocation by human–robot collaboration and decrease the idle time of resource by integrating optimum number of resources.
