For many, Industry 4.0<\/strong><\/a> represents the last great industrial revolution. However, although the concept of Industry 5.0 <\/strong>is relatively new, the European Union<\/strong><\/a> has highlighted it on several occasions because of its importance. It sees it as a key driver that transcends the sole objectives of efficiency and productivity.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The so-called Fifth Industrial Revolution <\/strong>marks a shift in the economic paradigm towards a focus on the social value and welfare of the worker<\/strong>, placing the worker at the heart of the production process and improving the relationship between the worker and the machines.<\/p>\n

The concepts of Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0 are closely related, as Society 5.0 seeks to balance economic development with the resolution of social and environmental problems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

This concept was launched by the Government of Japan and the Keindanren business federation in 2015, with the aim of ensuring that no one is left behind in a society affected by an ageing population, low birth rate and depopulation of rural areas, problems that are also beginning to affect European societies.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

This idea is based on the fundamental premise that technology should be geared towards improving people’s quality of life<\/strong>. A historical example is the invention of the wheel more than 5000 years ago, which transformed the world by facilitating the transport of people and objects.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

However, technological advances have not always benefited society as a whole, but have often served individual interests. This is where the term Society 5.0 comes in, representing a new form of society in which technological development is human-centred.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

In short, Society 5.0 uses the technologies created by Industry 4.0 to act in favour of people<\/strong>, such as Big Data, autonomous robots, the Internet of Things… And Extended Reality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=”” source=”” text=”Esto es un H2 de Innovae” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:28px|text_align:left|color:%23d50057|line_height:36px” use_theme_fonts=”” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1707982932525{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}” link=””][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Industry 5.0″ font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:28px|text_align:left|color:%23d50057|line_height:36px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1711530689494{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, business survival became synonymous with efficiency and productivity. This has led to extensive automation of industrial processes, with human resources being replaced by state-of-the-art technology.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=”” source=”media_library” image=”87309″ img_size=”full” external_img_size=”” add_caption=”” alignment=”left” style=”” external_style=”” border_color=”grey” external_border_color=”grey” onclick=”” img_link_target=”_self” title=”” custom_src=”” caption=”” link=”” img_link_large=””][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”88714″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

However, Industry 5.0 takes a different approach by emphasising the reintegration of the human factor into this equation. It is about using technology to foster the relationship between people and machines <\/strong>rather than simply replacing one with the other. In this new scenario, the human being becomes the protagonist, with technology at his or her service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

According to Forbes<\/strong><\/a>, companies such as Whirlpool, Mercedes Benz and BMW have embraced the Industry 5.0 vision to such an extent that they have conducted extensive research not only to understand the potential of the technology, but also to assess the cost-effectiveness of the human-robot combination. BMW, for example, has found that teams combining human and robotic labour can improve productivity by up to 80%.<\/p>\n
