“…CPS can also be applied to assess environmental impact when integrated to LCA [115]. The implementation of CPS systems integrating LCA features introduces a quantitative basis to improve environmental performance [115]. The result shows a positive impact on environment by minimizing energy consumption and verifying the potential to achieve increased eco-efficiency [115].…”

Environmental Sustainability of Digitalization in Manufacturing: A Review

2020

The rapid development and implementation of digitalization in manufacturing has enormous impact on the environment. It is still unclear whether digitalization has positive or negative environmental impact from applications in manufacturing. Therefore, this study aims to discuss the overall implications of digitalization on environmental sustainability through a literature study, within the scope of manufacturing (product design, production, transportation, and customer service). The analysis and categorization of selected articles resulted in two main findings: (1) Digitalization in manufacturing contributes positively to environmental sustainability by increasing resource and information efficiency as a result of applying Industry 4.0 technologies throughout the product lifecycle; (2) the negative environmental burden of digitalization is primarily due to increased resource and energy use, as well as waste and emissions from manufacturing, use, and disposal of the hardware (the technology lifecycle). Based on these findings, a lifecycle perspective is proposed, considering the environmental impacts from both the product and technology lifecycles. This study identified key implications of digitalization on environmental sustainability in manufacturing to increase awareness of both the positive and negative impacts of digitalization and thereby support decision making to invest in new digital technologies.

Digital Twins offer vast potential, yet many companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, hesitate to implement them. This hesitation stems partly from the challenges posed by the interdisciplinary nature of creating Digital Twins. To address these challenges, this paper explores systematic approaches for the development and creation of Digital Twins, drawing on relevant methods and approaches presented in the literature. Conducting a systematic literature review, we delve into the development of Digital Twins while also considering analogous concepts, such as Cyber-Physical Systems and Product-Service Systems. The compiled literature is categorised into three main sections: holistic approaches, architecture, and models. Each category encompasses various subcategories, all of which are detailed in this paper. Through this comprehensive review, we discuss the findings and identify research gaps, shedding light on the current state of knowledge in the field of Digital Twin development. This paper aims to provide valuable insights for practitioners and researchers alike, guiding them in navigating the complexities associated with the implementation of Digital Twins.

“…The consideration of the environmental impact must be ensured from the design phase and throughout the lifecycle of systems. A typical approach is to carry out a lifecycle assessment (LCA) of the production systems and products made within the ICPS (Ballarino et al 2017) and verify the sustainability of the ICPS themselves, due to the intensive use of digital technologies in particular. This type of study typically leads to the use of bio-sourced materials as raw materials or recycled materials with less environmental impact (Kovarik et al 2020;Carrodeguas et al 2020).…”
