What is XR2Learn targeting with regards to Industry 5.0?
My conclusion so far:
The core of Industry 5.0 indeed remains rooted in advanced manufacturing and production. Its primary aim is to enhance manufacturing by integrating advanced technologies with human expertise, focusing on more personalized production, sustainability, and human-centric design.
However, while the core is in manufacturing, its underlying principles—like prioritizing human creativity, well-being, and sustainability—are being considered valuable for broader applications. So, while it’s centered on production, the potential reach of its ideas is broader.
What is Industry 5.0
“Industry 5.0 is a new way of looking at factories and businesses. Instead of just focusing on making things faster and cheaper, it cares about the people working there and the environment. It’s about using smart technology in a way that makes work safer and more meaningful for people, and that respects nature. Imagine a factory that uses robots but also listens to workers’ needs and protects the planet’s resources. Industry 5.0 wants to make businesses better for workers, society, and the Earth.”

The Fourth Industrial Revolution – Industry 4.0 – is powered by smart technologies. It underpins any and all Industry 5.0 advancements and is, by definition, comprised of nine critical “pillars”:
- Additive manufacturing
- Augmented reality
- Autonomous robots
- Big Data and analytics
- Cloud connectivity
- Cybersecurity
- Horizontal and vertical system integration
- The Internet of Things (IoT)
- Simulation and digital twins
So, Industry 5.0 does not so much represent yet another Industrial Revolution but rather serves to augment Industry 4.0 technologies by strengthening the collaboration between humans and robots.
The following concepts are the central pillars of Industry 5.0:
- A human-centric industry puts human needs and interests at the center of the production process. Instead of asking what workers can do with new technology, Industry 5.0 asks what the technology can do for workers. While robots are tireless and precise, they’re literal and lack the capacity for critical and creative thought of their human partners.
- A sustainable industry helps businesses reduce their environmental impact by developing circular economy processes. Other sustainability shifts include reducing energy consumption, greenhouse emissions, and waste, as well as avoiding the depletion and degradation of natural resources.
- Industrial production in a resilient industry has a high degree of robustness. It is well-armed against disruptions and able to support critical infrastructure in times of crisis. The pandemic served to highlight industrial vulnerabilities and the importance of increased agility and resilience in supply chains and other manufacturing components.

Industry 5.0 It truly represents a shift from traditional views of manufacturing, where speed and cost efficiency often took precedence over human well-being and environmental considerations.
Industry 5.0’s emphasis on integrating advanced technologies with human expertise introduces a more holistic approach to production, making it not just about smarter factories, but also about creating a positive impact on society and the environment.
Industry 5.0 is not just a technological evolution, but a revolution in how we see work and innovation. By placing humanity at the center of this transformation, it ensures that progress is not just measured by efficiency, but by the well-being of individuals and the sustainability of our planet. In this new era, technology works alongside creativity, fostering environments where people thrive, and businesses grow with purpose.
