DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AS SUSTAINABILITY ENABLERS

Although sustainable practices have been addressed in Industry 4.0, sustainability as a concept started to attract attention when established as one of the critical pillars of Industry 5.0. Beyond environmental impact, its scope includes social, economic, and ecological aspects. To investigate how the use of specific digital technologies contributes to sustainable practices in manufacturing processes, the authors of this paper show a correlation between digital technologies and sustainability. The dataset used in the research represents the Serbian manufacturing sector, and the data was obtained in 2023 through the Digital Servitization Survey.
