    A framework for enabling metaverse for sustainable manufacturing
    (Elsevier, 2024) Assad, Fadi; Konstantinov, Sergey; Patsavellas, John; Salonitis, Konstantinos
    Newly introduced technologies often require time for adoption and integration into manufacturing environments, for several reasons including technological maturity, adoption costs, and skills gaps. The inclusion of sustainability as a new requirement for both customers and producers adds further complexity to the equation. As metaverse technology became available, it became logical to establish a set of requirements to harness its new potential and create a sustainability-oriented framework for seamless integration into modern smart manufacturing environments. Against this background, the current work introduces a framework aimed at harnessing the potential of the metaverse to enhance manufacturing sustainability. As a case study, an industrial workshop was analysed and evaluated using the proposed framework. The findings help create a future plan for leveraging the use of the metaverse and prioritising its requirements.
