Utopian Environment of Sustainable Manufacturing in Industry 5.0: A review
Keywords:
Digital Transformation, Industry 5.0, Industrial development, Smart Manufacturing, Sustainable manufacturingAbstract
A key sustainability concept is becoming more challenging than ever, with the increasing population rate, energy poverty, global warming, and surging demand for products and services. Sustainable manufacturing technologies research is growing to support our journey towards sustainable development. This systematic review intends to identify how sustainable manufacturing research is contributing to the development of the Industry 5.0 agenda and for a broader understanding of the links between Industry 5.0 and Sustainable Manufacturing by mapping and summarizing existing research efforts, identifying research agendas, as well as gaps and opportunities for research development. A conceptual framework formed by the principles and technological pillars of Industry 5.0, sustainable manufacturing scope, opportunities previously identified, and sustainability dimensions. Results point to that the current research is aligned with the goals defined by different national industrial programs. There are, however, research gaps and opportunities for field development, becoming more mature and having a significant contribution to fully developing the agenda of Industry 5.0.
