About

Dr. Matheus Becker da Costa is a leading voice at the intersection of Industry 4.0 and sustainable development, with a particular focus on the Brazilian industrial landscape. His research primarily explores how emerging technologies—such as the Internet of Things, big data, and cyber-physical systems—can be strategically deployed to drive both economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. His most influential work, "Expected impact of industry 4.0 technologies on sustainable development: A study in the context of Brazil's plastic industry" (2020, 231 citations), provides a pioneering framework for assessing how digital transformation can reduce waste and energy consumption in one of the world’s most resource-intensive sectors. Complementing this, his paper "Industry 4.0 technologies basic network identification" (2019, 75 citations) offers a foundational methodology for mapping and prioritizing the core technologies that underpin smart manufacturing ecosystems. Through these contributions, Dr. da Costa has helped bridge the gap between theoretical Industry 4.0 concepts and practical, sustainability-oriented applications in emerging economies. His work is essential reading for researchers and policymakers seeking to align technological innovation with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
