“…Only by quantifying and integrating the vocabulary used to express emotions can we accurately understand consumers' feelings. By removing excessive interfering information, we can accurately grasp important kansei information [ 57 ]. Factor analysis is a necessary method for processing data in survey statistics.…”

“…Furthermore, operators employing such technologies are exposed to hazardous chemicals, i.e., ultra-fine powders, monomers, organic compounds, or inert gases. This exposure may cause eye damage [29,35,[37][38][39][40]42], eye fatigue [1,4,6], skin damage, skin sensitization, contact dermatitis [37,[39][40][41], nasal mucosa injuries [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], central nervous system damage [1,[4][5][6], reproductive system damage [43], asthma, allergic rhinitis or other consequences of respiratory and lung damages [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], metal poisoning [1,3,[5][6][7][8], loss of coordination, headache and nausea [38], cardiovascular diseases [1,3,…”

“…Here, the fourth Industrial revolution (I4.0) basic concept is the integration of advanced technologies into the working environment and operations. Therefore, the human factor inside the workplace needs to achieve sustainability in four main categories: behavioral (e.g., skill and motivation), physical (e.g., ergonomics and training experience), mental (e.g., fatigue and cognition) and psychosocial (e.g., interaction, emotion and perception) [3]. Thus, the health and safety of workers strongly belong to the sustainability research field and contributes to the world sustainability.…”

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is radically reshaping the procedures and the manufacturing environments through the digitalization process. The digitalization process can change according to the context and to specific solutions, and it is able to modify manufacturing systems and production areas. All the employees are directly affected by the transformation of the working environment, manufacturing tools, and working conditions and by the increasing need for new competencies. In this context, it is crucial to identify new and emerging hazards concerning the health and safety of the employees to ensure a conscious and safe digital transformation for everyone involved. In this regard, the paper presents the state of the research and defines seven areas of interest for a safe and harmless digital transformation for the employees, drawing attention to the hazards in the different technological areas. The state of the research unveils the absence of detailed analysis to identify specific hazards of 4.0 technologies. Therefore, every specific 4.0 technologies is analyzed by an extensive review to provide a comprehensive matrix of new and emerging hazards for health and safety within digitalized manufacturing systems. The results can help manufacturing organizations to perform robust risk assessments for worker when introducing specific 4.0 technologies.

“…Whilst acknowledging the increased prominence workers may take in high technology and automated manufacturing scenarios of the future the same digitally enabled systems can also address human centricity and sustainability goals in terms of the customer base in the way products are produced. The design of production line robots and machinery is now receiving attention from interests in the human factors field, where robots are designed to cooperate with humans in the completion of tasks [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. A particular area of growing interest within this field is that of Collaborative robots or Cobots [22][23][24].…”

Industry 5.0 and the Circular Economy: Utilizing LCA with Intelligent Products

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

While the move towards Industry 4.0 has motivated a re-evaluation of how a manufacturing organization should operate in light of the availability of a new generation of digital production equipment, the new emphasis is on human worker inclusion to provide decision making activities or physical actions (at decision nodes) within an otherwise automated process flow; termed by some authors as Industry 5.0 and seen as related to the earlier Japanese Society 5.0 concept (seeking to address wider social and environmental problems with the latest developments in digital system, artificial Intelligence and automation solutions). As motivated by the EU the Industry 5.0 paradigm can be seen as a movement to address infrastructural resilience, employee and environmental concerns in industrial settings. This is coupled with a greater awareness of environmental issues, especially those related to Carbon output at production and throughout manufactured products lifecycle. This paper proposes the concept of dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), enabled by the functionality possible with intelligent products. A particular focus of this paper is that of human in the loop assisted decision making for end-of-life disassembly of products and the role intelligent products can perform in achieving sustainable reuse of components and materials. It is concluded by this research that intelligent products must provide auditable data to support the achievement of net zero carbon and circular economy goals. The role of the human in moving towards net zero production, through the increased understanding and arbitration powers over information and decisions, is paramount; this opportunity is further enabled through the use of intelligent products.
