This book provides a detailed and insightful exploration of the next stage in industrial evolution, focusing on the integration of advanced technologies with human-centered values. Unlike the previous phases of industrial revolutions, Industry 5.0 emphasizes the collaboration between humans and machines, where technology serves to complement and enhance human capabilities rather than replace them.

This book highlights the key technologies that are shaping the future of industry, such as collaborative robots (cobots), artificial intelligence, digital twins, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These innovations are examined through practical case studies across various sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and smart cities, demonstrating their transformative effects on productivity, sustainability, and workforce development.

A unique feature of this book is its strong focus on the human aspect of Industry 5.0, addressing the need for upskilling and reskilling the workforce, ensuring workplace safety, and promoting ethical considerations in technology design. It also explores the growing importance of sustainability, with discussions on circular economic practices and strategies to reduce environmental impact.

This book serves as an essential resource for business leaders, policymakers, and educators looking to understand and navigate the challenges and opportunities posed by Industry 5.0, equipping readers with the tools to lead industries into a more sustainable and human-centered future.
