Sustainable Development of the Intelligent Industry from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0

Abstract

The current stage of socio-economic development is focused on ensuring prosperity by meeting the goals and intensifying the practices of the 4th generation smart industry. The ways and methods of advancement are being scientifi cally researched and specifi ed, while at the same time revealing errors and weaknesses in the development so far, which are the potential for continuous increase of prosperity and sustainable production and consumption. From this point of view, the paper analyses and more accurately formulates the eff ects of smart industry 4.0 on the economy and society in a global sense. In the context of the new industry 5.0 development concept identifi es signifi cant progress in automation, robotization and digitization of imaginary processes supporting economic growth with obvious reserves and risks in the social fi eld, as well as in relation to sustainable development and climate strategies, especially in the environmental fi eld. In the article, the authors present the concept of models for intensifi cation and transition from the developed implementation model for Industry 4.0 to the environment and concepts of Industry 5.0. Priorities for the development and innovation of the fourth generation smart industry within the fi fth generation concept and possible synergy eff ects from human-robot-machine-environment cooperation, especially in the social fi eld and in ensuring the well-being of workers in industry, are formulated in more detail.

Cobots Implementation in the Era of Industry 5.0 Using Modern Business and Management Solutions

“…The cobot supports the human where it is needed. This is especially true when carrying out routine, forceful or dangerous work [49]. This eliminates potential bottlenecks that manual workstations usually become.…”

Key Enablers of Industry 5.0 - Transition from 4.0 to the New Digital and Sustainable System

“…Majernik et al (2022) studied the sustainable development from Industry 4.0 to 5.0. Significant progress in automation, robotization and digitization which supports the economic growth which is in relationship with sustainable development and climate strategies is noticed, as one of the key goals of Industry 5.0 [21]. Alvarez-Aros & Bernal-Torres (2021) claim that the technological competitiveness and emerging technology are key factors of the organizational strategy for the transition from 4.0 to 5.0.…”

Industry 4.0 Wireless Networks and Cyber-Physical Smart Manufacturing Systems as Accelerators of Value-Added Growth in Slovak Exports

“…Ruttimann and Stickli [25] point out the growing need to implement the networking of data-driven technologies and achieve full connectivity. The smart industry in Slovakia attempts to integrate cyber-physical production systems across the entire economy and its conditions [26]. The difficult-to-define issue of Industry 4.0 is presented by Kovacova and Lewis [27], who understand it as the transformation of production from separate automated units to a fully automated and continuously optimized production environment.…”
