Unlike previous studies, which focus on isolated constraints, this review synthesises recent work across eight coupled dimensions. These span reliability and fault tolerance, security and trust, time synchronisation, energy harvesting and power management, media access control (MAC) and scheduling, interoperability, routing and topology control, and real-world validation, within a unified comparative framework. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, a Scopus search identified 60 primary publications published between 2022 and 2025. The analysis shows a clear shift from reactive designs to predictive approaches that incorporate learning methods and energy considerations. Fault detection now relies on deep learning (DL) and statistical modelling, security incorporates trust and intrusion detection, and new synchronisation and MAC schemes approach wired levels of determinism. Regarding applied contributions, the analysis notes that routing and energy harvesting advances extend network lifetime. However, gaps remain in mobility support, interoperability across protocol layers, and field validation. The present work outlines these open issues and highlights research directions needed to mature IWSANs into robust infrastructure for Industry 4.0 and the emerging Industry 5.0 vision.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jsan15010007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,6]],"date-time":"2026-01-06T11:13:18Z","timestamp":1767697998000},"page":"7","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Industrial Wireless Networks in Industry 4.0: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2270-2515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christos","family":"Tsallis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, University of West Attica, 12244 Athens, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0515-9961","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Papageorgas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, University of West Attica, 12244 Athens, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2711-1400","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Piromalis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, University of West Attica, 12244 Athens, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4825-8361","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Radu Adrian","family":"Munteanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrotechnics and Measurement Department, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, 400114 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Majid, M., Habib, S., Javed, A.R., Rizwan, M., Srivastava, G., Gadekallu, T.R., and Lin, J.C.W.
