Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences invites authors to contribute with state-of-the-art research related to ‘Advanced Technologies for Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0’. This issue examines the framework surrounding these advanced industrial paradigms and presents compelling evidence drawn from practical applications. Particular emphasis is given but not limited to the impacts of these technologies on various facets such as logistics activities, production planning and optimization, maintenance and human factors and ergonomics in manufacturing systems. By offering a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge technologies and exploring the possibilities for optimizing existing ones within the framework of Industry 4.0 and 5.0, this issue aims to equip industry practitioners and researchers with a requisite knowledge base to steer the evolution of global industry towards a human-centric, sustainable, and resilient manufacturing system. Additionally, this issue tends to explain the differences between Industry 4.0 and 5.0, fostering a deeper understanding of their transformative potential. We invite researchers from both industry and academia, through preparing case studies and theoretical and empirical evidence, to submit either theoretical or practical research.
