Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 represent two stages of industrial transformation. Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, focuses on automation, artificial intelligence, IoT, and real-time data analytics to create smart manufacturing environments. It emphasizes efficiency, predictive maintenance, and digital integration.
Industry 5.0 builds upon Industry 4.0 but prioritizes human-machine collaboration, personalization, and sustainability. While Industry 4.0 aimed to maximize automation and reduce human intervention, Industry 5.0 focuses on harmonizing automation with human expertise, making production more adaptable and ethical.
Industry 5.0 is seen as a shift from mass production to more customized and ethical manufacturing, integrating human creativity with AI-driven automation to create a more balanced and sustainable approach to industrial production.
