Challenges of industrial systems in terms of the crucial role of humans in the Industry 5.0 environment

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) means the ubiquitous digitization of economic processes using more economical and efficient production technologies. Orientation to productivity, flexibility and low production costs results in a slow process of dehumanization of industry and concentration only on implementing Industry 4.0 (I4.0) digital technologies. A natural consequence of this trend is the concern of governments, employees and communities about new challenges and the importance of man in the economic ecosystem. The hope is the emergence of a new industry concept suggested by the European Commission (EU), which expands the components of the existing I4.0 concept to include human-centric, environmental and resilience aspects. Industry 5.0 (I5.0) is an excellent alternative to the development of today's digital and dehumanized world.
