“…The contribution of the article to the literature is to fill the scientific gap by highlighting the future prospects for the development of alternative and clean energy in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Unlike Aubin et al (2022), Huang et al (2022), Luan et al (2022), Nonoyama et al (2022), Ntsiyin et al (2022), Wang et al (2022), it was found that robotization is characterized by insufficiently high energy efficiency, as it causes an increase in the dependence of the economy on fossil fuels.…”

“…In the existing literature, much attention is paid to the energy efficiency of advanced technologies in industry 4.0, in particular, industrial robots. In the works of Aubin et al (2022), Huang et al (2022), Luan et al (2022), Nonoyama et al (2022), Ntsiyin et al (2022), Wang et al (2022) note the cost-effectiveness of energy efficiency of industrial robots. In this regard, the robotization of the economy is considered as an energy-neutral process.…”

This study focuses on exploring the relationship between industrial intelligence and capacity utilization based on the perspective of green development. Based on a fixed effect model, using data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) and China’s A-share listed enterprises from 2011 to 2019, this study empirically analyzes the influence of industrial intelligence on enterprises’ capacity utilization. The benchmark regression results reveal that industrial intelligence has a negative effect on enterprises’ capacity utilization. The results are robust to several econometric concerns. Moreover, mechanism analysis indicates that industrial intelligence affects enterprises’ capacity utilization through the productivity effect, the green innovation effect, and the scale expansion effect. When considering the heterogeneity at regional levels, we find that enterprises in the central and western regions are more affected by industrial intelligence. Our findings provide guidance to enterprises and policymakers in addressing industrial overcapacity and green development issues in China.

“…Applying technologies linked to the Industry 4.0 phenomenon contributes to increasing operational efficiency (Jabbour et al, 2018;Xu et al, 2018). However, concerns are raised about the digitisation of systems and processes from the adoption of these technologies and the resulting impact on energy consumption (An et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2022), and the possibility of generating negative environmental externalities (Luan et al, 2022). This point is highlighted, as warehouse systems, for example, by adding robotisation and application of other technological inputs, can contribute to increased energy consumption, which goes against issues related to sustainability.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to analyse systematically previous literature that sought to understand the formation of circular supply chains (CSCs) and propose a research agenda for implementing circular economy 4.0 in the wholesale industry.Design/methodology/approachThe research is based on a systematic literature review.FindingsThere is a prevalence of research related to manufacturing and how industrial complexes can establish practices linked to the circular economy. The reviewed papers in this study can be classified into three perspectives: systemic analysis, institutional perspective and operational perspective. Considering these categories and the wholesaler perspective, there is a scope to explore Industry 4.0 technologies applications with wholesale distributors and their contributions to the reverse flow of waste along the CSC. In addition, it is interesting to examine the interpretation of wholesale distributors on circularity, and how these members can contribute to filling the information gaps between industries and retailers based on the concepts of circular economy and Industry 4.0, and how they can contribute to establishing public policies for proper waste recycling methods.Originality/valueFirst, this research considers the wholesaler the exclusive supply chain member under the influence of Industry 4.0 and highlights its importance in firms' circular operations. Second, it provides an inclusive plan for the other stakeholders to interact with the wholesaler echelon to design and operate under 4.0 technologies to consolidate effective CSCs.
