Industrial revolution and environmental sustainability: an analytical interpretation of research constituents in Industry 4.0

Abstract

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.

Caring for environment sustainability: how human capital, natural resources and economic growth interact with ecological footprint in Morocco?

“…Finally, sustainable development and the role of social media (of text mining on the Scopus database and/or of network analysis) using the natural language processing (NLP) [the latent semantic analysis (LSA) and the network analysis] as done for sustainable marketing [for industrial revolution and environmental sustainability and for the green human resource management] by Dash et al. (2023), Malik et al. (2023) and Sharma et al.…”

“…,Malik et al (2023) andSharma et al (2022) can be a project for future researches in this field. Air pollution has increased over the past 20 years in Morocco.…”

“…Revolusi industri 4.0 mendorong penggunaan teknologi digital yang canggih ke dalam berbagai aspek industri (Yadav et al, 2020). Penggunaan teknologi ini dapat membantu bisnis dalam mengoptimalkan kegiatan operasional mereka (Malik et al, 2023). Salah satu bisnis yang mengalami perubahan dari bisnis konvensional menjadi berbasis teknologi adalah bisnis perdagangan (e-commerce).…”

A systematic review of Industry 5.0 from main aspects to the execution status

“…Different continuous improvement measures (Kaizen) are demanded to make holistic improvements coupled with a set of digital technologies. I4.0 is highly technologically centered and neglects the human aspects within the complete production system (Malik et al ., 2023; Rathi et al ., 2022). It does not include aspects related to human thinking, emotions and wellness of human beings that are critical to assure that the workplace is more friendly and accidental-free (Malik et al ., 2023).…”

“…I4.0 is highly technologically centered and neglects the human aspects within the complete production system (Malik et al ., 2023; Rathi et al ., 2022). It does not include aspects related to human thinking, emotions and wellness of human beings that are critical to assure that the workplace is more friendly and accidental-free (Malik et al ., 2023). The incorporation of human aspects within the production system enables the work system safer and more reliable and leads to improve organizational social sustainability (Kumar et al ., 2023; Kaswan et al ., 2023b).…”
