“…Used to avail operators of guidance during assembly tasks, whilst ensuring that an acceptable quality is simultaneously attained. [11,33,36,44,58,61,63,64] Digital supportive services such as contour visualisation Feasible for people with cognitive disabilities and provision of workload relief as opposed to having to recall everything by memory. Clear outlining of contours and instructions was also recognised as a beneficial implementation.…”

“…Simões et al [61] outline the pivotal effect that technology has rendered on empowering operators with disability, notably throughout the training stage. The authors point out the scarcity of literature that puts the skills necessitated during training into perspective and thus proceed to develop a fully interactional system that employs sensors to uphold the mental well-being of operators with cognitive impairments.…”

“…Simões et al [61] acknowledge how diverse people have their unique limitations (visual, audio, and manoeuvrability), posing different skillsets (for example, it cannot be assumed that everyone is literate), which reflect on manufacturing parameters such as the time taken to complete a task. The authors also echo how multiple disciplines (such as psychology and cognitive sciences) must be intertwined with that of engineering when attempting to understand how diverse people learn, work, and train, challenging the status quo on the shop floor.…”

“…This may thus lead to conducting tradeoffs (choosing production parameters (such as time) over socially sustainable parameters (namely, operator well-being) or vice versa). Another observation adopted from the work of [61] is that one should not refrain from incorporating multiple modalities simultaneously (such as visual AND audio at the same time), owing to the reinforcing element that is hence introduced. The user can confirm that they have understood correctly due to multiple modes that assist in information input and output.…”

The World Bank has reported that over one billion individuals have a disability, implying that almost fifteen percent of the global inhabitants are susceptible to undergoing levels of discrimination, especially in employment. This issue may prevail on a manufacturing shop floor, whereby a wave of standardisation dominates such as in the design of shop floor workstations. Despite advances made in the literature, people with disabilities are still siloed from manufacturing. Consequently, the aim of this research work was to analyse literature’s current state of the art on the design of workstations for operators with disabilities within the context of Industry 5.0, where sustainability, human-centricity, and resilience are upheld. The study employed a systematic review of 69 publications from Scopus and Google Scholar published between 2013 and 2023, adhering to the updated PRISMA guidelines to identify the major research gaps. The review contributes an understanding of the current academic and industrial limitations such as the absence of social applicability of Industry 4.0 technology, the rift between academic knowhow and industrial implementation, and the lack of alignment with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Additionally, the review uncovered an absence in work bridging four disciplines together: workstation design, Industry 5.0, sustainability, and disability. An unprecedented understanding of the interdependency between all four disciplines within the remit of smart, sustainable, and inclusive manufacturing workstations is contributed. This review proposes directions amidst the four most relevant SDGs—SDGs 8, 9, 10, and 12 to the topic.
