Manufacturing has undergone several eras of change from the first industrial revolution - use of steam power and mechanical production, to the second - use of electricity and mass production and a third era - defined by increased automation of manufacturing processes due to the use of information technology (IT). A fourth era of change – Industry 4.0 – is driven by trends on connectivity, service orientation, advanced materials and processing technology, and collaborative advanced manufacturing networks; networks of advanced manufacturing devices controlled by computers combining them into a physical – digital environment. Industry 5.0 is about augmenting that digital transformation with a more meaningful and efficient collaboration between humans and the machines and systems within their digital ecosystem. According to the European Union Industry 5.0 - It complements the Industry 4.0 approach by “specifically putting research and innovation at the service of the transition to a sustainable, human-centric and resilient European industry”.
