Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Fourth Industrial Revolution has become an integral part of industrial life, and research and progress is already being made towards the Fifth Industrial Revolution or Industry 5.0. Industry 5.0 describes the transformation of industry around the pillars of sustainability, resilience, and human-centricity. It harnesses the integration of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing, together with Digital Twins, Big Data Analytics, and more, to bring forth an era of collaboration between human and machine intelligence. The goal of Industry 5.0 is leveraging system optimization and enhanced decision-making to combat the dynamic fluctuations of the globalized market and ensure human, system, and network stability in these uncertain times. To achieve this, researchers and industrial agents have already taken steps towards interaction and collaboration between humans and machines, leading to the concept of human-centric manufacturing.
