The present book aggregates all current aspects and emerging notions of Industry 4.0 into clusters of “enabler” and “analytics” of Supply Chain 4.0, illustrating their multifaceted nature and high degree of entanglements. Moreover, these features are explored in a diverse range of applications from the supply of conventional energy networks to renewables, pharmaceuticals and additive manufacturing, and their implications for economic prosperity and sustainability. In each of these fields, the current industrial practice is scrutinized, and developing concepts are articulated. The book concludes with summarizing the key observations and proposing future research directions.
