Cover Story: The focus of Industry 4.0 was on technological advancement, often overlooking human interaction. Industry 5.0 shifts the emphasis toward the role of humans and their interaction with emerging technologies. According to this new paradigm, in this paper, we investigate the automation of a traditionally manual task within the logistics sector, employing a human-centered approach aimed at minimizing high-risk ergonomic activities and improving operator well-being. To support this, a motion capture system and digital human simulation software were used to develop a digital twin of a real-world industrial case study. This virtual environment enabled the testing and evaluation of different automation strategies, ultimately identifying the most effective solution based on performance indicators. View this paper
