Transitioning From Industry 4.0 To Industry 5.0: The Role of Artificial Intelligence and The Metaverse in Digital Transformation

Abstract

The transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 signifies a substantial change in industrial operations. Industry 4.0 prioritizes automation and data-centric operations, whereas Industry 5.0 promotes personalization, human-machine cooperation, and sustainable manufacturing. Artificial intelligence (AI) is pivotal in this transformation, augmenting decision-making, predictive analytics, and autonomous systems. In Industry 5.0, artificial intelligence integrates human creativity with automation, facilitating more intelligent and adaptive industrial processes. The metaverse facilitates this shift by offering immersive virtual environments for collaboration among humans, machines, and robots. Organizations may develop and create in a digital environment using augmented and virtual reality, digital twins, and simulations prior to physical implementation. AI and the metaverse are together establishing a human-centric and sustainable industrial paradigm, promoting innovation and efficiency while improving the interface between humans and machines.
