Abstract

This research aims to explore the challenges and opportunities for achieving operational sustainability of boilers in the context of Industry 4.0, using the Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method. The integration of Industry 4.0 technologies has the potential to revolutionize the way boilers are operated, offering benefits such as improved energy efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced safety. However, effective implementation of these technologies requires addressing the associated challenges and opportunities. This study ranks the challenges and opportunities based on expert feedback using the SWARA method, highlighting the most pressing issues and areas for improvement. By the feedback from 15 industrial and academic experts, the results suggest that 'workforce transformation' and 'data management and integration' are the leading challenges, while 'improved energy efficiency' and 'enhanced safety' are the most significant opportunities for achieving operational sustainability of boilers in the context of Industry 4.0. This research can inform and guide the development of policies, strategies, and solutions aimed at improving the sustainability of boilers in a rapidly changing technological landscape, and assist industrial managers in finding strategic management for sustainable boiler operation.

工业4.0背景下实现锅炉可持续性运行的挑战和机遇

本研究旨在利用逐步权重评估比率分析(SWARA)方法，探讨在工业4.0背景下实现锅炉可持续性运行的挑战和机遇。工业4.0技术的集成有可能彻底改变锅炉的运行方式，提供诸如提高能源效率、减少排放和增强安全性等好处。然而，这些技术的有效实施需要应对相关的挑战和机遇。本研究基于专家使用SWARA方法的反馈对挑战和机遇进行了排序，突出了最紧迫的问题和需要改进的领域。根据15位工业和学术专家的反馈，结果表明，“劳动力转型”和“数据管理和集成”是主要挑战，而“提高能源效率”和“增强安全性”是在工业4.0背景下实现锅炉可持续性运营的最重要机会。这项研究可以为政策、战略和解决方案的制定提供信息和指导，旨在提高锅炉在快速变化的技术环境中的可持续性，并协助工业管理者找到可持续锅炉运行的战略管理。
