ABSTRACT
A vision of human-centric manufacturing is currently on the horizon pushed by the new paradigm of Industry 5.0. This vision aims to place the well-being of the workers at the center of manufacturing systems, by providing them with a safe, comfortable, and motivating environment. Thus, Industry 5.0 extends the previous technology-driven Industry 4.0 paradigm, which instead places productivity and performance at the core of manufacturing. According to this new human-centered perspective, humans can complement the work of machines, whilst machines can give humans superpowers to amplify their work. This synergistic collaboration will enable humans and machines to coordinate with each other to perform a specific activity.
However, we are far from a concrete realization of human-centered manufacturing at a large scale, since different technological and organizational aspects still need to be investigated to create the conditions for a true paradigm shift toward Industry 5.0. The focus of this special issue is on recent developments, enabling technologies, and challenges for Industry 5.0 and human-centricity concepts both from a theoretical perspective and industrial applications.
MAIN TOPICS
Topics of interest for this Special Session include (but are not limited to):
- XR applications for Operator 5.0
- Real time based Digital Twin and Digital Personas
- Industry 5.0 Data-space
- Simulation and Machine Learning Models for Industry 5.0
- AI-based applications for Collaborative Intelligence
- Security and privacy issues within human-centric scenarios
ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS
Gianfranco E. Modoni. After his Msc in Computer Science at University of Pisa, he had been employed since September 2003 until January 2012 at Ferrari F1 Racing team at Maranello (Italy) . He holds a PhD in Computer Science and Computational Mathematics achieved at Insubria University. Since February 2012 he is a researcher at the STIIMA-CNR. His main research activities concern the study and application of advanced Digital twin based solutions applied to the industrial sector.
Marco Sacco. Graduated in Computer Science, first researcher at the CNR since 2001 at the STIIMA institute (Intelligent Industrial Systems and Technologies for Advanced Manufacturing), I was head of the Engineering and Virtual Applications group and head of the Virtual and Augmented Reality laboratory. President of the EuroXR (European Association for Extended Realities technologies) from 2015 to 2021. Currently head of the Lecco branch of STIIMA (Smart and Human Centred Living Environment) and member of the steering committee of the Bi-Rex consortium (competence center on Big-Data and Industry 4.0 technologies). Coordinator of numerous projects at EU, national and regional level and evaluator both for the European Commission (DG-RTD and DG-Connect) and at national (MISE) and regional (Marche and Autonomous Province of Trento) level of research and innovation projects.
