Introduction to Industry 5.0
Industry 5.0 can be described as the 5th industrial revolution. We have all seen a huge leap in the industrial sector due to the advent of Industrial 4.0. Industrial 4.0 helped create a smart factory/ industry by combining technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Augmented reality, etc. This helped to create highly automated processes and machines and greatly reduced complexity in industrial aspects like designing, manufacturing, production, and customer support. So, after this, we are moving towards a new era of the Industrial Revolution.

Industry 5.0 takes another leap in an industrial area. It is the revolution in which man and machine work together to improve production efficiency. Industry 5.0 uses technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, location tagging, virtual reality, and big data and incorporates these technologies with greater human intelligence. When Industry 4.0 was launched most of us feared that humans would be replaced by robots.
This new industrial revolution seeks to gather more balanced working relations between humans and machines. So unlike machines replacing humans in Industry 4.0, industry 5.0 will have collaborative robots that will be integrated into industrial processes for more repetitive and mundane tasks, providing humans with greater opportunities to use their creative flair.
