Abstract

Coal is the major source of energy in the world. But, the process of extraction and use of coal has adverse effects on the environment. In this chapter, the authors try to reduce these effects by considering the principles and technologies involved in Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. From a few expert reviews and research works, eight crucial factors were taken into account and were analyzed. The eight factors are consumer, water resources, smart transportation, smart factory, smart grid, smart mining, smart home, and renewable energy. The analysis has been made using the total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) method. The model distinctly demonstrates the influence of the principles of Industry 4.0 over coal industries. This chapter also aims to pave the way for future research and tries to contribute towards the sustainable extraction and usage of coal in energy industries. Consumer plays the most influential role in this regard.

Literature Review

Literature review is classified into eight sections namely (i) Smart Transportation (ii) Smart Factory (iii) Smart Mining (iv) Consumer satisfaction (v) Water Resource (vi) Smart Grid (vii) Smart home (viii) Renewable Energy . They are detailed as follows:

Smart Transportation

Managing an industry’s transportation system using various information and communication technologies in an effective manner is called smart transportation (Stefannson & Lumsden 2008). In the case of electric vehicles, based on the service requirements, charging stations are set up and programmed for the effective recharge of electric vehicles. The intelligent system also minimizes waiting period and cost (Kim et al., 2010).

Smart Factory

A factory that is run using the technologies that are being developed in Industry 4.0 such as big data analysis, machine learning, IOT and so on is called a smart factory. The deployment of these technologies in factories helps in increasing the production of the factory while making the production process sustainable too (Wang et al., 2016). The development of flexible production systems with integrated IOT in factories would enable sustainable production (Shrouf et al., 2014). An effective supply chain management system that enable continuous flow of processes also plays a major role in sustainable production by helping to save time and energy (Ivanov et al., 2016). Smart factories may also feature emerging advanced technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) that can be used to train the workers for effective production (Paelke 2014).
