Critical analysis of industry 4.0 and its impact on global warming: Challenges and solutions
Author(s): Surayawanshi SK and Jagdale Manisha Manikrav
Abstract: This research critically analyzes how Industry 4.0 technologies, such as automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), can contribute to a decrease in carbon emissions and an enhancement in energy efficiency to curb global warming. Peer-reviewed publications and official papers up to 2022 have been studied, emphasizing India and ASEAN nations for secondary data. Regression analysis revealed that uptake of Industry 4.0 and emissions of carbon were negatively and significantly correlated, implying that Industry 4.0 and carbon emissions can be potentially mitigated. By correlation analysis, it was shown that smart manufacturing has potential for resource usage optimization and energy consumption reduction. However, in Indonesia and India, where it is reliant on fossil fuels, it's still difficult to lower emissions. The study concludes that policymakers should invest in digital infrastructure, recompense the use of clean technologies with monetary incentives, and forge legislative frameworks to speed up decarbonization. Adoption of Industry 4.0 technology could help India and ASEAN nations improve their industrial competitiveness and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Objectives
- To examine how Industry 4.0 technologies, affect carbon emissions in ASEAN and India.
- To evaluate the connection between industrial sectors' energy use and the deployment of Industry 4.0 technologies.
- To determine the potential and difficulties associated with using Industry 4.0 technology in the context of reducing global warming.
- To provide policy suggestions for encouraging the implementation of Industry 4.0 in order to improves environmental sustainability in developing nations.
