Abstract
Automation has transformed fields, increased productivity and efficiency, and lessened the need for human labor. However, fast-growing e-commerce development has prompted concerns about environmental sustainability, such as increased energy consumption, resource waste, and electronic waste. This chapter addresses the overlap between automation and sustainability and the changes that it brings about in terms of sustainable practices in automation systems. Additionally, the chapter covers regulations and policy initiatives that shape sustainable automation adoption, as well as the financial impact on businesses. Results highlight the important role of collaboration between multiple stakeholders, strong policy incentives, and workforce adaptation in achieving automation systems that enable operational excellence and also strongly contribute to global sustainability. This chapter, in turn, helps to move the debate over industrial sustainability forward by arguing for a more balanced account in which automation is seen as enabling efficiency gains and environmental concern.
