Abstract

The advent of Industry 5.0 signifies a paradigm shift that supersedes the technocentric approach of its predecessor, Industry 4.0, by integrating advanced technologies with fundamental principles focused on people, sustainability, and resilience. This novel industrial paradigm underscores the integration of collaborative robots (cobots), artificial intelligence (AI), and digital twins. The implementation of these technologies is not limited to the optimization of production processes; it also encompasses the enhancement of mass customization, safety measures, and the overall well-being of workers. In contrast to the vision of total automation, Industry 5.0 aims to empower workers by fostering hybrid and symbiotic collaboration between humans and machines in key sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and construction. However, the transition to this paradigm presents significant challenges, including digital skills gaps, investment barriers for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and ethical dilemmas associated with monitoring well-being. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 protocol to analyze the defining characteristics, prevalent research topics, and strategic implications of Industry 5.0. The findings, which emphasize the necessity to establish ethical governance frameworks and collaborative public-private strategies to address existing adoption disparities, serve as the primary contribution of this study. This study also formulates an integrative strategic definition of the concept, accompanied by a roadmap for organizations to achieve a balance between technological innovation and human well-being. The strategic implications of Industry 5.0, as highlighted in this study, ensure an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable industrial future.
