Proposal Description

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”.
There is arguments that Industry 5.0 describes important details of implementation of Industry 4.0 rather revolution. Industry 5.0 does not so much represent yet another Industrial Revolution but rather serves to augment Industry 4.0 technologies by strengthening the collaboration between humans and robots. The fifth revolution is about connecting people with robots and making them work together. The fourth revolution started around 2010 and changed the way companies functioned. Many companies were able to replace humans with robots. Many businesses have been influenced by Industry 4.0 so far. Some still adapt to the technologies that Industry 4.0 has brought.
Now the focus is on Industry 5.0 as one of the top trends in industrial manufacturing in 2022. Simply put, Industry 5.0 is the reintroduction of humans and mind into the industrial structure. Here humans and machines reconcile and collaborate to benefit from new production efficiencies. Companies that are only starting to adapt to Industry 4.0 may find themselves in the middle of this new industrial revolution.
Industry 4.0 is built on nine technology pillar:
• Big Data and AI analytics
• Horizontal and vertical integration
• Cloud computing
• Augmented reality (AR)
• Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
• Additive manufacturing/3D printing
• Autonomous robots
• Simulation/digital twins
• Cybersecurity

The central pillars of Industry 5.0 are:
• A human-centric industry promotes talents, diversity and empowerment.
• A sustainable industry leads action on sustainability and respects planetary boundaries.
• Industrial production in a resilient industry is agile and resilient with flexible and adaptable technologies.

The industrial sector overall improved human’s life by developing technologies and make better ways of working. However, industrialization is related to environmental pollution. This is why it is important to create smart manufacturing with focus on sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Manufacturing can change Industry 5.0 by combining cognitive computing capabilities with human intellect and resourcefulness in collaborative operations.
In summary, industry 5.0 ensures the best drivers from the Industry 4.0 to get strengthened and get augmented with the element of control, reconfiguration, and realignment, in the larger picture of stakeholders of the organization, the society, and the human existence in the larger scope.
