Abstract

Background – Driven by the adoption of modern technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and adoption, Industry 5.0 has emerged to bring a paradigm shift from industry 4.0. Though the manufacturing process is digitized by industry 4.0, interconnected smart devices and cyber-physical systems are leveraged to achieve productivity and efficiency in industry 5.0, which focuses on collaboration among machines and humans, with greater emphasis on customization, social well-being and sustainability. This new age balances intelligence and automation offered by AI with ethical and creative considerations of workers, building a humanized approach for manufacturing. As the international market keeps on demanding more sustainable and personalized products, optimization plays a vital role in industry 5.0.
