About

Antonella Meneghetti is a leading voice in the evolution of smart manufacturing, with a sharp focus on how Industry 5.0 can be translated from a conceptual framework into operational reality. Her research centers on the critical intersection of human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience—the three pillars of the emerging Industry 5.0 paradigm. Meneghetti’s most influential work, “An Industry 5.0 Perspective on Feeding Production Lines” (2023, 15 citations), provides a practical guide for companies navigating the integration of new technologies, moving beyond theory to actionable strategies. She is also pioneering work on social sustainability, as demonstrated in her 2025 study on enhancing inclusion for workers with disabilities through human-robot collaborative assembly line balancing. This optimization model explores how cobots can be leveraged not just for efficiency, but as a driver for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in manufacturing. By addressing the challenge of integrating workers with physical disabilities into production systems, Meneghetti is redefining what it means to build a truly human-centered factory. Her contributions are shaping a future where technology serves both productivity and social good.
