An initial approach to industry 5.0

Abstract

Industry 5.0 focuses on human-system collaboration and a more integrated approach to manufacturing and services. Digital twin is a technological advancement positioned to propel Industry 5.0 by making way for newer implementations and greater cyber-physical connections within a system. Digital twins will lead the way as Industry 5.0 encourages a closer integration of digital and physical systems. They will act as a link between the digital and physical worlds, giving each, real-time information and insights. Within Industry 5.0, digital twins are essential for establishing communication between the digital and physical realms as well as for facilitating human-autonomous system cooperation and cohabitation. Industry 5.0 highlights the requirement for adaptable manufacturing to satisfy specific client needs. Manufacturing processes can be swiftly and effectively adjusted with the use of digital twins. Industry 5.0 relies heavily on digital twins to help businesses adapt to the changing manufacturing environment and use data-driven insights to increase productivity, flexibility, and human-robot collaboration. The aspects of industry such as the commissioning and the automation of the Industrial Work floor processes are to be integrated with the digital twin. The digital twin allows for the virtual commissioning and integration of humans through interactive mixed reality that transcends the user experience making the process of integration and data (instruction) transfer seamless. The main focus of the paper was on utilizing the digital twin for the connection of various aspects of an industrial factory to establish control and real time monitoring for a Cyber-physical system. The digital Twin of a material handling system was developed and used for virtual commissioning and Mixed Reality integration and exploration.
