Industry 4.0 and industry 5.0: can clusters deal with the challenges? (A systemic approach)

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this conceptual paper is to substantiate the idea that clusters will cope with the challenges of Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 and remain one of the drivers for the development of the local economy.Design/methodology/approachFor the preparation of this paper, the author reviewed the literature on Cluster 4.0, Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0, green and blue recovery, as well as the future of jobs and systems. Data, reports and surveys (UN, OECD, World Economic Forum, McKinsey Global Institute, D2L, etc.) were analysed in detail, in order to create a clear picture related to the research topic. The opinions expressed in the article are depicted graphically, and were developed by the author.FindingsFirst, predictions on Industry 4.0 challenges are outlined, and the reasons as to why clusters are expected to succeed in the digital era are substantiated; second, the direction of development in the digital era is depicted in a two-dimensional plane; and third, the direction of development in digital era within the clusters is graphically presented as a system.Originality/valueFor this purpose, the author has developed a new approach to connect clusters and digitalisation with the self-designed graphical images.

Industry 5.0 applications for sustainability: A systematic review and future research directions

“…In the future, it can be applied as a descriptive tool to assess the influence of the event and characterize and measure the dynamics of the intended outcome before and after it. This approach has been suggested to examine the impacts of Kopacek, 2021;Thakur & Kumar Sehgal, 2021;Johri et al, 2021;Fraga-Lamas et al, 2021;Li et al, 2022;Iyengar et al, 2022;Coronado et al, 2022;Lu et al, 2022;Sindhwani et al, 2022;Petrillo et al, 2022;Henriksen et al, 2022;Jafari et al, 2022 Ecosystems advancement 7 (15%) Green manufacturing ( 2 Salimova et al, 2020;Longo et al, 2020;Cillo et al, 2021;Xu et al, 2021;Alvarez-Aros & Bernal-Torres, 2021;Battini et al, 2022;Huang et al, 2022;Kolade & Owoseni, 2022;Orso et al, 2022;Gagnidze & Tbilisi, 2022;Yuan et al, 2022;Grabowska et al, 2022;Waheed et al, 2022;Madhavan et al, 2022;Guruswamy et al, 2022;Zizic et al, 2022;Saniuk et al, 2022;Kaasinen et al, 2022;Akundi et al, 2022;Ivanov, 2022 17 (36%) The previous studies utilized observations, in-depth interviews, and case study methods (Cillo et al, 2021;Kolade & Owoseni, 2022;Salimova et al, 2020). Industry 5.0 for sustainability used techniques like interviews, which are not practically viable.…”

“…The existing studies discussed the advent and development of Industry 5.0; efforts are being made to combine human experience with accurate, precise, and intelligent robots to produce manufacturing solutions that are both resource-efficient and user-preferred (Gagnidze & Tbilisi, 2022;Guruswamy et al, 2022;Ivanov, 2022).…”

“…Industry 5.0 recognizes that businesses have the power to achieve societal goals above employment and economic development and to transform into a reliable source of affluence by ensuring production (Johri et al, 2021). It puts the well-being of industry employees at the forefront of the production process while respecting sustainability boundaries (Gagnidze & Tbilisi, 2022).…”

“…It offers a thriving development vision for the industry. The Industry 5.0 paradigm uses flexible and adaptive technology to support systems' resilience and agility (Gagnidze & Tbilisi, 2022). Additionally, it makes an effort to provide an example of sustainability, respect the bounds of the world, and foster variety, talent, and empowerment (Grandys Frieska Prassidaa, 2022).…”

Industry 5.0: analyzing the challenges in implementation using grey influence analysis

“…Although the concepts and the thrust focus areas are discussed at a wider level, the major challenges in implementation need critical attention. Further, several developing economies may face serious challenges in the successful adoption of the digital technologies, and in the procurement of skilled labor to achieve the human-centric focus (Adel, 2022;Gagnidze, 2022). The typical challenges to Industry 5.0 and the causal relations binding them were not explored in the current literature and this emanates as the primary objective of the study.…”
