N2 - The drive for competitiveness in smart manufacturing compels organizations to embrace the circular economy (CE) within their industries. This emerging trend combines artificial intelligence with the latest digital technologies, particularly industry 4.0 technologies like the Industrial Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems, big data analytics, and more. The goal is to offer an alternative to the traditional linear economy (take-make-waste). This research aims to present an architectural framework that utilizes I4.0 technologies for the adoption of the CE in various industry sectors. In doing so, we consider every component of the manufacturing process, including input and output stations, manual service centers, machinery, equipment, and others, all integrated within the cyber-physical system. Furthermore, smart technologies are integrated into this system to replace the linear economy model. Additionally, this article demonstrates how the 4R principle (repairing, remanufacturing, recycling, and replacing) plays a vital role in the transition away from the linear economy. Undoubtedly, the adoption of this approach will provide managers with the means to achieve sustainability and foster ongoing economic development.
