An Extended Review of the Manufacturing Transition Under the Era of Industry 5.0

Abstract

In order to improve the industrial performance and satisfy customer demand in the most competitive way, the fourth industrial revolution integrates big data, artificial intelligence, advanced robotics and cyber physical systems allowing to manufacturing industries to be both smart and connected. Industry 4.0 is responding to the challenge of mass customization and while this transition is still in the beginning, the fifth industrial revolution has been introduced. The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework and to determine the current research trends of this new concept in the manufacturing field via an extended literature review elaborated using the PRISMA flow chart. The analysis of selected articles shows that societal and environmental needs not considered in Industry 4.0 are the inputs of the transition to Industry 5.0, and additional enabling technologies are required to reinforce the human-machine interaction towards an adaptive, flexible and human centric production enhancing hyper personalization, resilience and sustainability.
