Sustainability Measures: An Experimental Analysis of AI and Big Data Insights in Industry 5.0

Abstract

In the context of Industry 5.0, this empirical research investigates the concrete effects of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data insights on sustainability metrics. Real-world data analysis shows that during a two-year period, there was a 10% rise in the energy used by solar panels, a 6.7% increase in the energy consumed by wind turbines, and a 6.7% drop in the energy consumed by the grid. Paper trash output was reduced by 14% and plastic waste by 24% as a consequence of waste reduction initiatives. Product quality was maintained by AI-driven quality control, with quality ratings ranging from 89 to 94. Moreover, there was a 6% decrease in carbon emissions from industry, 3.1% from transportation, and 4.6% from energy production. These results highlight how AI and Big Data may revolutionize Industry 5.0 by promoting environmental responsibility, waste reduction, energy efficiency, sustainability, and high-quality products.
