ABSTRACT
The chapter titled “Environmental Impacts of Industrial Processes in Industry 4.0 Ecosystem: Artificial Intelligence Approach” provides a comprehensive exploration of the increasingly critical intersection between Industry 4.0 and environmental sustainability. It delves into the transformative potential of advanced technologies, with a specific focus on artificial intelligence (AI), in monitoring, mitigating, and optimizing the environmental consequences of modern industrial processes. Through a rigorous and data-driven approach, the chapter examines how AI-driven solutions can be effectively employed to collect, analyze, and interpret vast datasets from various industrial operations. These insights are then used to make informed decisions that minimize resource consumption, reduce emissions, and curtail waste generation, all while optimizing production efficiency within the Industry 4.0 framework. As industries worldwide grapple with the imperative to align with eco-conscious practices, this chapter serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking innovative strategies to harmonize the Fourth Industrial Revolution with environmentally sustainable objectives.
