DESCRIPTION:
The Fourth
Industrial
Revolution (Industry
4.0)
conceptualizes
rapid change to
technology,
industries, and
societal
patterns and
processes in the
21st century due
to increasing
interconnectivity
and smart
automation.
The concept of
Industry 5.0
could also be
described as
re-introducing
the lost
dimension of a
human/value-centered
Industry 4.0.
The co-existence
of two
Industrial
Revolutions
invites
questions and
hence demands
discussions and
clarifications.
As it mentions
in the documents
for the European
Commission,
Industry 5.0
focuses on three
main directions:
human-centric (promotes
talents,
diversity, and
empowerment),
sustainable (leads
action on
sustainability
and respects
planetary
boundaries) and
resilient (is
agile and
resilient with
flexible and
adaptable
technologies).
And why Industry
5.0? It is:
reduced cost due
to resource
efficiency;
improved safety
and well-being;
empowered
workers
remaining in
control;
competitive edge
in new markets;
adapted training
for evolving
skills; and
competitive
industry through
attracting the
best talent. As
a result -
Industry 5.0 is
a
solution-provider
for people, and
for our planet.
According to
even online
dictionaries,
new normal is a
current
situation,
social custom,
etc., that is
different from
what has been
experienced or
done before but
is expected to
become usual or
typical. It
means that big
challenges are
expected to
arise.
