Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In Industry 5.0, humans work closely with advanced technology to create innovations focusing on collaboration between people and machines. Research shows that they play a vital role in this advanced era of industry, with important implications for society. Industry 5.0 is seen to build industrial systems that are sustainable, ethical, and inclusive. This article also discusses how Industry 5.0 affects the workforce and emphasizes the need for an ongoing human-centered system. The paper ends by suggesting areas for further research and how Industry 5.0 can create sustainable, human-centered systems in industry. The study utilized the mixed methods method to explore Industry 5.0, combining quantitative information and personal views to reveal its multi-faceted impacts. As we incorporate advanced technologies into our enterprises, we must rethink the skills and training needed for employees. The transformation will allow employees to coexist with machines and systems. However, it creates critical moral questions, especially around data privacy, decision-making power, and the capacity to replace some job roles. On the contrary, Industry 5.0's focus on sustainability brings new prospects for innovation in finding solutions to environmental issues and improving industry productivity and efficiency.
