| Abstract | While the literature commonly prevails a positive outlook on how Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enhances sustainability, there exists an understudied aspect-the darker side of I4.0-that has negative implications and has not yet been systematically addressed. This research aims to challenge the assumption of a sustainable I4.0 by highlighting the potential negative implications of I4.0 technologies on sustainability, emphasising potential measures to mitigate such effects, and presenting a framework for a sustainable future. A dual research methodology was used to conduct this research work. The systematic literature review (SLR) method was used to synthesise the literature. Additionally, a questionnaire was sent to 34 manufacturing Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) to measure their current progress towards triple-bottom-line (TBL) sustainability. This SLR navigates through the complex multifaceted nature of the dark side of I4.0, including job displacement, wage disparity, cybersecurity risks, socio-economic disparities, and environmental effects. This study presents a structured five-step approach that emphasises the integration of cutting-edge I4.0 technologies with a focus on sustainable development practices to address economic, environmental, and social issues for a sustainable I4.0 future. This article aimed to understand I4.0 as a whole phenomenon from the perspective of TBL sustainability. The originality of this research article lies in uncovering the hitherto less-understudied negative aspects of I4.0 and presenting a complex interpretation of I4.0 and its impact on TBL sustainability. |
