“…Industry 5.0 aims to support value-creating processes with people at the value-creating centre (Xu et al 2021). Villani et al (2021) investigated the acceptance criteria of a human-machine interface (HMI) that helps workers perform their tasks in an automated industrial environment. The HMI device should monitor the user's health status (blood pressure, body temperature, pupil reactions).…”

Today's industrial revolutions radically transform our understanding of technological possibilities and the importance of human creativity. All these contribute to changes in the process and tools of decision support. In this literature review, I will discuss the technological opportunities that can be applied in Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 and the related role of human resources. Industry 4.0 is not just about an explosion in the industry, but about the digitalization of the entire economy. Digitalisation solutions include CPS systems that integrate computing, networking and physical processes. CPS systems are based on the networking of the machines that make up the system, with the ultimate goal of developing a learning algorithm that can autonomously perform optimization tasks. In the centre of Industry 5.0 is people-centredness, sustainability and resilience. Along with Industry 5.0, human-machine interfaces have developed. Its aim is to help the employee to work in a way that takes into account his or her abilites. Harnessing the potential of the human-robot interface to improve economic and social processes will be a crucial factor in the coming years. Moreover, supporting the technological lagging is also a priority in the modern industrial revolutions. In additional to financial incentives, availability of technical support can be a critical factor during the implementation procedure and the use of these new technologies. This can have a big impact on the daily lives of businesses and households.

“…A total of 19 participants were enrolled in the pilot study (eight shop floor workers from SCM Group and 11 from GIZELIS ROBOTICS). The questionnaire was tested on a prototypal version of an adaptive automation system, i.e., the INCLUSIVE system [4,56]. In addition to the questionnaire measuring worker satisfaction, to collect feedback about it the following questions were administered: 'Are the questions of the questionnaire relevant for your work?…”

“…Since the cognitive capabilities of humans are currently unattainable by robots and machines, human workers still represent the most valuable asset of every company [2]. They are a fundamental bootstrap for advanced sensing and the higher precision of machines and allow organizations to increase productivity and improve quality, while building more flexible, inclusive and safe workplaces and improving working conditions [3,4]. To this end, while in the last decades attention was paid mostly to the technological side, more recently the need to provide technological solutions that take into account the workers and their needs has been acknowledged.…”

“…Additionally, building on the proposed model, we develop a questionnaire for the assessment of worker satisfaction. The questionnaire is meant as a practical tool to collect workers' feedback on existing automation systems and to guide the design of novel systems, if applied on early prototypes (see, e.g., Villani et al [4]). Moreover, it is organized in a modular way and, as a consequence, can be easily scaled from adaptive automation systems to non-adaptive systems.…”

This article focuses on methods and tools to measure worker satisfaction with reference to industrial automation. Despite technological advances in automation, the role of human workers on industrial shop floors remains crucial. To promote humans' roles, production systems should be designed and organized so workers are valued and get satisfactory jobs. The article presents a novel holistic model of worker satisfaction with adaptive automation and working conditions. The model takes into account psychosocial and physical working conditions and the characteristics of the automation system the worker interacts with and its user interface. We propose a questionnaire to be used as a practical tool to assess worker satisfaction with industrial automation, considering also the case of adaptive automation. The proposed version of the questionnaire is the result of pilot testing carried out among shop floor operators and takes into account adjustments derived from end-user feedback.
