Smart Manufacturing and Industry 5.0

Dear Colleagues,

Manufacturing and Production Industries are currently being reshaped to integrate the new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the existing workplaces. Industry 5.0 is a value-driven approach and is based on three interconnected core pillars: 1) human-centricity, 2) sustainability, and 3) resilience. However, it is necessary to fully utilize the technologies and techniques developed under the framework of Industry 4.0 to implement a successful transition to Industry 5.0, and by extension to further facilitate the realization of Society 5.0. Therefore, authors are invited to participate in this topic and submit interesting research works, either research manuscripts or review manuscripts, in order to highlight the key results of research in areas relevant to the upcoming Industry 5.0 in the framework of Society 5.0.
