Redefining Human-Machine Collaboration: Industry 5.0 to Improve Safety and Efficiency

摘要

This study presents an innovative implementation of Industry 5.0 principles in a window production line, integrating advanced robotics and artificial intelligence technologies to improve operational efficiency and worker well-being. A robotic cell was designed to automate the handling of heavy components in the final production stage, resulting in a 35% reduction in cycle times and a significant decrease in ergonomic risks. Additionally, an interactive voice assistant based on generative AI was implemented, allowing operators to access system data and technical information in real-time through cognitive interaction. The results show a substantial improvement in job satisfaction, with a 278% increase in the perception of occupational health. This approach not only optimizes productivity but also redefines workers' roles, aligning with the human-centered vision of Industry 5.0. The study demonstrates how the integration of advanced technologies can create safer, more efficient, and adaptable work environments in modern manufacturing.
