About

Dr. Mwewa Chikonkolo Mwape is a leading voice in the study of the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions, with a research focus on how disruptive technologies reshape major industrial sectors. His most influential work, “Industry 4.0 Disruption and Its Neologisms in Major Industrial Sectors: A State of the Art” (2020, 149 citations), provides a foundational analysis of the unprecedented disorientation—what he terms “discombobulation”—caused by the blurring lines between the artificial and natural in modern industry. This paper, along with his related study on “The Hype and Disruptive Technologies of Industry 4.0” (2020, 21 citations), critically examines the gap between technological promise and practical impact. Dr. Mwape’s recent work extends into the emerging paradigm of Industry 5.0, exploring how Digital Twin technology can bridge these industrial eras. His contributions are vital for students and researchers seeking to navigate the complex, often confusing landscape of automation, cyber-physical systems, and human-machine collaboration, offering a clear-eyed perspective on both the hype and the genuine transformation underway.
