Industry 4.0 leveraged technologies like cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, cognitive computing, and IoT, among others, into the factory system for complex and globalized operations.However, 2021 is pushing behind 4.0 to welcome Industry 5.0. If 4.0 focused on using technology to optimize production, 5.0 is all about connecting man and machine. This collaboration of humans and intelligent systems has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which found a leeway to integrate the efficiencies of man and systems, leaving the monotonous, repetitive tasks to the mechanical and opening up the creative side to the biological.To that end, Industry 5.0 is not a stand-alone innovation in the manufacturing sphere. It takes the essence of 4.0 and churns it out to extract the cream that can be matured and incorporated into 5.0. So, in addition to rapid prototyping through 3D printing or micro-logistics network to support accelerated delivery or IoT automation in factory processes, the latest revolution would bring with it better clarity on areas where the majority thought machines are taking over the planet. Instead of job scarcity due to increased automation, Industry 5.0 creates even higher-value jobs than Industry 4.0 because humans are taking back design responsibility, or work that requires creative thinking contrary to "mass personalization" that took the previous decade by storm. So the robots of Industry 4.0 would be better-called co-bots (collaborative+ robots) in Industry 5.0.This edition aims to provide readers insights from industry leaders to help them have a detailed understanding of the manufacturing technology solutions arena and the recent developments in this field.Let us know your thoughts.
