“…In order to accommodate the ever-increasing variability of production, Industry 4.0 enables new types of interactions between operators and machines, interactions that will transform the industrial workforce and have significant implications for the nature of work. The emphasis on human-centricity of the Factories of the Future is an important part of this transformation, allowing for a paradigm shift from independent automated and human activities to a human-automation symbiosis (or 'human cyber-physical systems') [25] characterised by the cooperation of machines with humans in work systems and designed not to replace, but rather to co-exist with and assist humans in becoming more efficient.…”

The industrial landscape is undergoing a series of fundamental changes, because of the advances in cutting-edge digital technologies. Under the framework of Industry 4.0 engineers have focused their effort on the development of new frameworks integrating digital technologies such as Big Data Analytics, Digital Twins, Extended Reality, and Artificial Intelligence, to upscale modern manufacturing systems, reduce uncertainties, and cope with the increased market volatility. However, in the upcoming industrial revolution, i.e., Industry 5.0, the research focus will be directed towards the new generation of human operators, the Operator 5.0. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the key technologies that will be the drivers towards the realization of the Operator 5.0 and to highlight the key challenges. Additional contribution is the proposal of a framework for the training and support of shopfloor technicians based on the utilization of Mixed Reality for manufacturing processes.

“…Higher educated users of Internet technologies are known to possess more advanced digital skills (Scheerder et al, 2017). We expect that this holds true for IoT home automation because extracting meaning from data and comprehending the context in which they were gathered cannot be mimicked by technology (Flores et al, 2020). Thus, we hypothesize the following:…”

As the Internet of Things (IoT) is making its entrance in people’s homes, differences in the skills to operate smart home devices need to be considered. This study examined (1) the levels of digital skills to use IoT home automation among Dutch adult citizens and (2) differences of these skills over gender, age, and education. Therefore, a performance test with actual real-life tasks was conducted among a representative sample ( N = 99) of the Dutch adult population to measure digital skill levels. The participants performed tasks while using interconnected smart home devices in a virtual test environment. The results revealed that the Dutch adult population possesses insufficient data and strategic skills to use smart home devices to its full potential. Even less likely to benefit are the elderly and less educated; they showed the lowest levels of data and strategic skills. In addition, the elderly lack operational skills to use IoT home automation beneficially.

Purpose:The aim of the research is to investigate the dynamics of scientific publications on Industry 4.0 and to present the idea of Industry 4.0 on the basis of publications using the life cycle of research areas. Approach/Methodology/Design: Over the last few years, the fourth industrial revolution has attracted more and more attentions all around the world. A decade has passed since the concept of Industry 4.0 was initiated. In 2011, for the first time a German business and government group presented a new technical strategy called: "Industrie 4.0". Since that year, the concept of Industry 4.0 has been popularised around the world, especially in highly developed countries whose industries have implemented the technological innovations of the third industrial revolution. Today, after a decade since the initiation of the Industry 4.0 concept, it is worth taking stock of the global development of science on the basis of the Industry 4.0 idea. In this paper a bibliometric analysis of world scientific works in the area of the Industry 4.0 concept was carried out. Scientific publications placed in the Web of Science (WoS) database were analysed. The time scope of the analysis covered the period from 2011 to 2021. The analysis is a reconstruction of development trends of the Industry 4.0 concept on the basis of scientific works of researchers from all over the world. Findings: The results of the performed analysis created an interesting picture of knowledge about Industry 4.0 focused around the idea of this concept of industrial development, and presented chronologically and historically using the method of life cycle of the analysed research subject. Practical Implications: The utilitarian aspect of the work is the methodology of the publication life cycle used, based on the dynamics of the number of publications in the WoS scientific database. Originality/Value: The added value of the research is the use of the product life cycle to perform a bibliometric analysis on the topic of Industry 4.0, where the product life cycle is replaced by a life cycle developed from the dynamics of publications on Industry 4.0.
