In 2015, the United Nations (UN) adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is intended to guide the global economy in light of social equality and ecological boundaries. The agenda consists of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs):<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0No poverty
\n2.\u00a0Zero hunger
\n3.\u00a0Good health and well-being
\n4.\u00a0Quality education
\n5.\u00a0Gender equality
\n6.\u00a0Clean water and sanitation
\n7.\u00a0Affordable and clean energy
\n8.\u00a0Decent work and economic growth
\n9.\u00a0Industry innovation and infrastructure
\n10. Reduced inequalities
\n11. Sustainable cities and communities
\n12. Responsible consumption and production
\n13. Climate action
\n14. Life below water
\n15. Life on land
\n16. Peace, justice, and strong institutions
\n17. Partnership for the goals<\/p>\n

The goals are supported by 168 targets and 330 indicators, detailed on the\u00a0UN website<\/a>. The 193 member states of the UN have committed to implementing these ambitious goals by 2030.<\/p>\n

Recently I\u2019ve been exposed multiple times to articles and speeches about how Industry 4.0 technologies can impact achievement of the SDGs. It\u2019s clear that some of these technologies (such as IIoT, Big Data and analytics, cloud computing, simulation, augmented reality, additive manufacturing, autonomous robots, and cybersecurity) can have a direct impact on some of the goals. And it\u2019s pretty easy to imagine that they can help innovation in industry and infrastructure (SDG9), creating more sustainable cities and communities (SDG11), and supporting a more responsible production and consumption (SDG12).<\/p>\n

Not only we can see a direct correlation between these technologies and initiatives, but it has been proven in the study,\u00a0\u201cMapping Industry 4.0 Enabling Technologies into United Nations Sustainability Development Goals\u201d<\/a>\u00a0by Mohammed M. Mabkhot, Pedro Ferreira, Antonio Maffei, Primo\u017e Podr\u017eaj. In this study, the authors scientifically determined, with a well-documented and repeatable statistical process, which enabling technology impacts each SDG.<\/p>\n

Since most system integrators\u2019 main activity involves implementing some or many of these enabling technologies, it’s clear that integrators can play a big role in helping end users achieve these SDGs. And not just the three mentioned above. Others that are less affected by Industry 4.0 technologies but are still impacted by automation projects include clean water and sanitation (SDG6), which is directly impacted by traditional water and wastewater integration projects; climate action (SDG13) is impacted by any project related to energy management, renewable energy, or cogeneration; life below water (SDG14) is again impacted by water treatment projects as well as projects related to fish feeding or breeding; and life on land (SDG15) is impacted by any project related to animal feeding and breeding and water treatment.<\/p>\n

This gives system integrators a substantial role and responsibility in helping industry achieve its sustainability goals, and both integrators and end users should be aware of it.<\/p>\n

These UN SDGs even map to one of the core values of the Control System Integrators Association: Partnership for the goals (SDG17). It\u2019s important today for us to work together and collaborate to sustain any initiative aimed at creating a sustainable world.<\/p>\n
