Industry 4.0 technologies have been breaking new ground in all areas of innovation, providing faster, more efficient and cost-efficient convergence of technologies. The four key technologies of Industry 4.0 are Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, big data, and analytics. These technologies are being considered as a significant enabler of sustainability-driven initiatives in agriculture, manufacturing and even services. This Special Issue focuses on how Industry 4.0 technologies introduce sustainability into the supply chains and, hence, support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, traceability, monitoring delivery, tracking ambient conditions of the product in transportation, blockchain-enabled smart contracts, etc.
