From automation to collaboration: exploring the impact of industry 5.0 on sustainable manufacturing

Industry 5.0 represents a significant shift from the automation-centric paradigm of Industry 4.0, emphasizing human–machine collaboration, sustainability, and resilience in industrial operations. This study explores the integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), collaborative robotics, human-digital twins (HDTs), and the Internet of Things (IoT) with human creativity to drive sustainable and adaptive manufacturing processes. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 110 articles, this research identifies key drivers, challenges, and opportunities associated with Industry 5.0. The findings highlight Industry 5.0’s role in enhancing mass customization, reducing environmental…
