Abstract

:
In this article, we cumulate previous research findings indicating that cyber-physical production systems bring about operations shaping social sustainability performance technologically. We contribute to the literature on sustainable cyber-physical production systems by showing that the technological and operations management features of cyber-physical systems constitute the components of data-driven sustainable smart manufacturing. Throughout September 2020, we performed a quantitative literature review of the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, with search terms including “sustainable industrial value creation”, “cyber-physical production systems”, “sustainable smart manufacturing”, “smart economy”, “industrial big data analytics”, “sustainable Internet of Things”, and “sustainable Industry 4.0”. As we inspected research published only in 2019 and 2020, only 323 articles satisfied the eligibility criteria. By eliminating controversial findings, outcomes unsubstantiated by replication, too imprecise material, or having similar titles, we decided upon 119, generally empirical, sources. Future research should investigate whether Industry 4.0-based manufacturing technologies can ensure the sustainability of big data-driven production systems by use of Internet of Things sensing networks and deep learning-assisted smart process planning.

The digital twin can sense the state of sustainable smart manufacturing systems instantaneously and forecast system failures. Digital twin-driven sustainable smart manufacturing comprises a basic platform, equipment, system, and service. Sustainable smart manufacturing platforms can be networked to assimilate the value chain throughout businesses and constitute a groundbreaking industrial form assisted by cognitive decision-making algorithms. The industrial big data of the basic platform is derived from its equipment layer comprising unit, production line, and manufacturing plant, in association with cloud computing and artificial intelligence data-driven Internet of Things systems. By thoroughly taking into account environmental, economic, and social aspects, and integrating personnel, machines, and cyber-physical production systems, industrial big data supply input for virtual and physical prototyping that shapes sustainable smart manufacturing equipment, systems, and services. Sustainable smart manufacturing equipment comprises a production unit and line; that is, machine tools, advanced robots, customized equipment, and assessment and monitoring technologies. The sustainable smart manufacturing system encompasses a discrete and a process component. Horizontally, the sustainable smart manufacturing system can be segmented into design, production, logistics, sales, and services, constituting a closed loop. Vertically, the sustainable smart manufacturing system can be segmented into automatic production and execution systems, and organizational resource management.
Data-driven sustainable smart manufacturing, Internet of Things-based real-time production logistics, and product decision-making information systems [28,34,35,36,37,38,39] facilitate the networking between the production equipment and manufactured goods.

4. Big Data-Driven Smart Sustainable Energy and Electric Systems

The configuration of a significant business value in cyber-physical production systems [40,41,42,43,44,45,46] necessitates enhanced internal logistics systems as regards operational performance, operating time, and sustainability by use of Internet of Things-driven analytics. Key performance indicators may address operational assessments concerning expenses, time, quality, adjustability, and sustainability, and can be significant to manufacturing, inventory administration, quality assurance, and maintenance. Intralogistics is instrumental in productive capacity, operational performance, equipment effectiveness, sustainability, and energy consumption. The implementation of Internet of Things-driven analytics culminates in the upgrading of internal logistics systems as regards operational performance, operating time, and sustainability. While Internet of Things-enabled data value chains handle the collection, transfer, and coherent transformation of unprocessed information into applied knowledge, their integration within cyber-physical systems can provide their by-products in intralogistics practice. Cyber-physical production systems are pivotal in the advancement of cutting-edge big data-driven smart energy systems. Groundbreaking computational methodologies (e.g., environmentally friendly and energy efficient cyber-physical production system design) facilitate the sustainable development of deep learning-assisted smart process planning. Cyber-physical production systems can be harnessed to engage in the decrease of energy generated from extensive information center computing infrastructures and in the enhancement of computational coherence measurements across smart energy systems.
The circular economy is a factor in energy-intensive sectors [47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55], participating in ethical sustainable societal development. In Industry 4.0, big data-driven technologies assist in the adoption of a cleaner production approach and in the advancement of data-driven sustainable smart manufacturing.

Companies should integrate Internet of Things-based real-time production logistics, deep learning-assisted smart process planning, and industrial big data analytics with various cyber-physical production systems to perform ethical and sustainable value addition activities that lead to resource optimization while altering market demands. Smart sustainable energy and electric systems are heterogeneous, highly elaborate, and nonlinear. The assimilation of discontinuous renewable energy sources together with particular household consumption behaviors generates unpredictability throughout smart sustainable energy and electric systems. The performance, supervision, and decision-making in an unstable environment necessitate growing automation and adjustability in operational monitoring, and an increase in efficiency to ensure the required level of service provided by smart sustainable energy and electric systems. Reinforcement learning constitutes a broad category of optimal control approaches that harnesses projected value functions by use of machine learning and simulation in an extremely dynamic stochastic setting. The interactive environment facilitates the advancement of robust learning ability and significant flexibility in reinforcement learning that does not employ the model of system dynamics, making it applicable for smart sustainable energy and electric systems having elaborate nonlinearity and unpredictability. Leveraging reinforcement learning across smart sustainable energy and electric systems alters the standard energy utilization mode by using cognitive automation, artificial intelligence-based decision-making algorithms, and real-time sensor networks.
Smart manufacturing is instrumental in advancing more sustainable and effective products [56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63]: energy use and quality of manufactured products are satisfactorily supervised, leading to smart sustainable manufacturing, cleaner production, and emission decrease. The sustainability and effectiveness of the smart manufacturing systems are improved by supplying trustworthy input. Data mining is employed on a large scale in manufacturing and service sectors, enabling decisions on acquirable data, and in sustainable manufacturing settings. Additive manufacturing can save energy and lead to cleaner environmental production as a result of the decrease in material and resource use. With the advancements in big data technologies, huge volumes of data are produced during additive manufacturing operations. The upsides of 5G technology are superior reliability and reduced latency, enhancing the real-time performance and monitoring, in addition to decision-making capabilities of sustainable and smart additive manufacturing processes. Product decision-making information systems, technologies, and applications generate huge volumes of data during additive manufacturing product designing, fabrication operations, and product maintenance, articulating the entire manufacturing cycle architecture. As wide-ranging scalability necessitates breakthroughs in operational management practices and energy efficiency systems, blockchain can optimize performance deficiencies, irregular or inadequate services, funding schemes, and controlling networks. Distributed ledger-based technologies may play a part in the management and adoption of sustainable development proposals. Efficiency benefits in public administration operations associated with the feasible leverage of energy from sustainable sources underline the relevance of distributed-ledger technologies whose harnessing is a means to consider and require enhancements in key domains for the adoption of major sustainability initiatives. Distributed-ledger technology is determining in large-scale cross-border undertakings and for heterogeneous stakeholders to influence the digital ecosystem consistent with sustainable development routes.
Advancing economic, data-driven, and resource-efficient farming arrangements to satisfy large-scale nutrient demand is related to the growing population and incessant urbanization [64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72] that make food security relevant across sustainable development. Renewable energy and biodegradable/organic waste use may configure sustainable food production systems by use of deep learning-assisted smart process planning, artificial intelligence data-driven Internet of Things systems, and cognitive decision-making algorithms, thus enabling the consolidation of circular economy. The energy and material consumption associated with vegetable production operations and the environmental and economic performance throughout sustainable farming systems can be carried out effectively by use of cyber-physical manufacturing systems powered by artificial intelligence-based decision-making algorithms specific to Industry 4.0 wireless networks. Decarbonization technologies of sustainable energy provision are critical to controlling pervasive greenhouse gas emissions and consequently thoroughly mitigating climate change. Industrial big data analytics, deep learning-assisted smart process planning, sustainable product lifecycle management, and cognitive decision-making algorithms can assist throughout the decarbonization process by use of digital technologies while necessitating minimal investments. Cyber-physical production systems can strengthen efficiency of sustainable energy provision and big data-driven industrial production, definitely straightening out economic viability and low-carbon effects. Digitalization of sustainable energy systems by harnessing cyber-physical production systems redesigns the marginal abatement cost curve and refashions the shift towards an environmentally friendly energy system. When cyber-physical production systems are integrated into artificial intelligence data-driven Internet of Things systems, decarbonization technologies may advance considerably while generating unpredictable risks.
A sustainable smart energy system associated with artificial intelligence-based decision-making algorithms, business process optimization, and Internet of Things sensing networks [73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82] would surpass standard energy systems that confront pressing environmental and social concerns, while renewable energy systems have diminished reliability as a result of the discontinuous character of energy sources. Peer-to-peer energy communities network electricity end-users and producers on digital platforms enabling them to trade energy cooperatively. By integrating local production and use, connecting reorganized participants, and configuring new markets, peer-to-peer energy communities can further a more sustainable energy system. Sustainable business models may provide system transition value, resulting in the expansion of Internet of Things-based real-time production logistics, refashioning of the energy markets, and asking customers to support a sustainable smart energy system. Due to fluid and unmanageable market alterations, manufacturers have to reorganize their production process so as to satisfy fluctuating consumer demands variably and produce first-rate quality goods competitively while remaining sustainable by cutting down carbon emission and energy use. Behavioral intentions by themselves do not result in pro-environmental consumption, green consumption options entail unrelated aspects in preference over behavioral intentions, and companies’ environmental operations turn consumer’s environmentally friendly intentions into ecologically sound behavior. Companies’ sustainability exposure and low-carbon responsiveness perform the function of driver for energy-efficient consumption practices, constituting the threshold for altering the ulterior motive and consumer’s environmental choices. Energy-efficient awareness considerably moderates the operational connection between ecologically sound disclosure and consumer’s compliance to participate in environmentally responsible consumption activities. Companies’ sustainability exposure in furthering ecologically sound consumption practices should take into account the environmental deterioration generated by human activities.
Advancing towards sustainable energy outcomes in the urban big data-driven environment by coherently assimilating renewable energy systems [83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90] reinforces decarbonization across the clean energy industry and climate change mitigation. Optimizing energy production and storage by use of sustainable strategies to meet subsequent demands and taking measures as regards the climate targets necessitate a significant alteration throughout the energy infrastructure. Climate change mitigation and remodeling approaches demand a predictable impact evaluation of climate change with regard to energy systems and adequate assessment of sustainable energy solutions. Enhancing the energy systems to resist successfully climate dissimilarities in a sound way is critical in carrying out the sustainable energy transition. Improving the network between climate and energy system patterns and furthering the configuration of energy technologies to grapple with subsequent climate variations in an adjustable fashion is instrumental in articulating the sustainable shift of operational systems to renewable energy. To straighten out their efficiency and sustainability, urban energy systems require transition. A sustainable shift of the energy industry is partly responsible for mitigating climate change, but an effective transition needs suitable climate change adaptation while considering climate uncertainties and extremes. Public-sector regions and their energy systems can bring to completion a successful operational shift and climate change adaptation. A robust design can advance the energy system in the direction of superior flexibility and resilience, suppressing irremediable environmental conditions and significant economic downsides.
