Abstract

Industry 5.0 aims to leverage the collaborative potential between humans and intelligent machines, surpassing the manufacturing solutions of Industry 4.0 by achieving resource-efficient and customizable processes. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of Industry 5.0, covering its underlying technologies, significant applications, and potential challenges. The study explores diverse applications of Industry 5.0, such as intelligent healthcare, manufacturing, and supply chain management. Additionally, it examines the enabling technologies that facilitate Industry 5.0, including edge computing, the Internet of Things, digital twins, the blockchain, collaborative robots, and emerging 6G and beyond networks. The paper also highlights critical challenges and unresolved issues that require further exploration and development to realize the vision of Industry 5.0. This study’s outcomes will likely benefit researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and technology developers by providing insights into Industry 5.0, offering practical applications, and identifying areas for innovation and regulatory considerations.
