Abstract
Industry 4.0 is a paradigm that aims to increase the digitalization and automation of production systems by using a set of digital technologies such as the internet of things, cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, etc. Industry 4.0 significantly contributes to the digital transformation of industrial companies and provides several benefits to these companies, such as increased connectivity of production systems, faster and more reliable information processing, and enhanced industrial control capabilities, etc.
However, it can be said that Industry 4.0 primarily focuses on the technical tools of production and does not necessarily include the human factor or the social and environmental aspects, which can also influence the digital transformation of production systems.
Industry 5.0 complements Industry 4.0 by placing humans at the center of this digital transformation. Moreover, Industry 5.0 also takes into account other aspects such as sustainability and the resilience of production systems.
The study presented in this paper falls within the general field of Industry 5.0 and specifically addresses the environmental aspect of production systems. It aims to improve the implementation of digital tools for real-time monitoring of the environmental impacts of an industrial production unit. This study focuses particularly on proposing an approach for the prior assessment of the maturity of a production unit before implementing a digital tool for monitoring its environmental impacts.
The approach we propose is based on a set of steps, such as the overall assessment of the company’s digital maturity, the evaluation of maturity regarding the technologies used in Industry 4.0, the company’s maturity in identifying and measuring environmental impacts, and finally, its ability to implement a digital monitoring system for environmental impacts.
