Infrastructure Potential and Human-Centric Strategies in the Context of Industry 5.0

Abstract

Moving from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 represents a significant shift in manufacturing, focusing on human collaboration, customization, and sustainability instead of just automation and digitization. Industry 5.0 brings substantial advancements that reshape the industrial landscape. This chapter examines the transition, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure, ethical concerns, and future implication. Industry 5.0 relies on a robust infrastructure, blending physical and digital elements to enable advanced technology integration. It places human-centric strategies at its core, emphasizing human interaction, well-being, and skill development. The synergy between infrastructure and human-centric approaches is pivotal for Industry 5.0's success, enabling ergonomic workplaces, seamless human-machine collaboration, data access, and customization. Simultaneously, human-centric strategies prioritize collaboration, skill development, and ethical considerations, fostering a harmonious synergy.
