Exploring Industry 5.0: Human-Centric Innovation and the Future of Sustainable Industrialization.
Mouser Electronics , Inc. , a global authorized distributor of the latest electronic components and industrial automation products, today launched the latest episode of Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) , a technology-focused program. This episode explores the latest developments in Industry 5.0 . In the next phase of industrialization, human, environmental, and social aspects will consider advanced technologies, robotic systems, and smart machines as the future of factory production.
With the technological advances achieved in the era of "Industry 4.0"--after artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and machine learning transformed the interaction of the physical and digital worlds--"Industry 5.0" will place greater emphasis on the balance between humans and technology. It will also prioritize social values, resilience, and sustainability as key pillars. So, this episode of EIT will discuss the transition from "Industry 4.0" to "Industry 5.0," as well as the technological advances that are coming soon.
In The Tech Between Us podcast , hosts Mark Patrick , Director , Technical Content , EMEA, Mouser, and Leonardo Dentone , Program Chair , ISA Denmark, will explore the drivers of “Industry 5.0,” including advanced robotics, AI-driven systems, and cyber-physical frameworks that facilitate human-machine collaboration. In the next podcast, In Between The Tech , Larry Sweet , Director , Engineering , Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute, explores the challenges engineers face in implementing a human-first industrial model, and how to overcome them.
"Industry 5.0 is not just the next chapter in technological advancement; it is also a transition that integrates social progress with industrial innovation," Patrick said. "It requires engineers to change their mindset about the role of technology in building a resilient, people-centric industrial environment, especially when innovation supports productivity and societal well-being."
