Dear Colleagues,
Building upon significant developments in Industry 4.0, the next phase in the evolution of smart manufacturing is Industry 5.0. In this domain of Industry 5.0, humans and machines work in an integrated manner to achieve high levels of productivity and efficiency. A more flexible and advanced manufacturing context is addressed by a combination of the strengths of humans and machines, leveraging automation and artificial intelligence to produce a highly productive manufacturing environment. The advancement of the manufacturing industry is enhanced by high levels of automation and data-based technology, thus creating the optimum environment for smart manufacturing. While Industry 4.0 focused primarily on communication and automation, Industry 5.0 brings the skills of humans into alignment with the manufacturing process. High levels of productivity and efficiency can be achieved by combining the strengths of humans and machines within the context of effective data transfer and communication protocols. This integrative synergy between humans and machines allows the manufacturing processes to be more adaptable to suit the needs of production in the context of high levels of quality. Difficult real-time challenges faced in manufacturing and production can be addressed through the unique collaboration of activities planned to be accomplished by humans and machines. The framework of Industry 5.0 requires effective data transfer, information flow, data conversion to knowledge over time, and assessment of production parameters with respect to continuing effectiveness and applicability. Intelligent data-driven sensors and controls thus have a significant role to play in Industry 5.0 as they will be the bearers of information from technical, economic, and procedural aspects, continually monitoring system effectiveness and improvement potential.
