About

A. Javernik is a rising researcher at the forefront of sustainable and human-centric manufacturing, whose work is shaping the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0. Her primary research areas center on human-robot collaboration (HRC), simulation modeling, and the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into production systems. Javernik’s major contributions include pioneering the use of simulation modeling to evaluate the sustainability and efficiency of collaborative workplaces, demonstrating how human-robot teams can enhance both productivity and worker well-being. Her most cited work, "Importance of Sustainable Collaborative Workplaces – Simulation Modelling Approach" (2022, 15 citations), provides a foundational framework for this analysis. She has also advanced the understanding of human factors in HRC through her application of the NASA-TLX method to assess worker workload, a study that has garnered 14 citations. Her latest research (2024) extends these ideas by proposing an ESG-based evaluation framework for Industry 5.0, highlighting the triple bottom line of sustainability. With a growing citation record and a focus on practical, human-centered solutions, Javernik is establishing herself as a key voice in the future of smart, sustainable manufacturing.
