Industry 4.0 and supply chain 4.0 are hot topics in the current business and technological era. This paper provides a literature review, past and current insights, and knowledge of supply chain 4.0 and Industry 4.0 in the context of sustainability. Literature shows that Industry 4.0 has a significant impact on the sustainability of the supply chain network. This paper also explains the different technologies of Industry 4.0, contributing to the sustainability of the supply chain in business. A total of 55 papers are reviewed in this study. We proposed a framework that identifies the effect of Industry 4.0 technologies on the supply chain. This research study used the systematic literature review methodology in Industry 4.0 and supply chain sustainability. The data was collected from (ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, and Google Scholar) databases. The Prisma framework was used to select articles for this study and only journal papers were selected for reviewing the literature. This study’s uniqueness concerns its integration of the two independent subjects (Industry 4.0 and supply chain sustainability) to develop the framework explaining the effects of the technologies of Industry 4.0 on supply chain sustainability. Moreover, this research extends the existing knowledge of current fields.
