Enhancing Human Safety in Production Environments Within the Scope of Industry 5.0

This study addresses a comprehensive investigation aiming to enhance human safety in production environments as a part of Industry 5.0 approach. Industry 5.0 represents a transformative approach focused on elevating production capabilities by integrating age-old manufacturing methods with the power of digitalization and automation. However, crucial aspects such as human safety and occupational health are often overlooked in this transformation process. In this context, the research explores the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for enhancing human safety in production environments. AI has the capability to analyze data collected from sensors to proactively detect hazardous situations and risky behaviors. As a result, potential risks like machine malfunctions, hazardous gas leaks, or falls can be identified in advance, enabling swift interventions. The objective of this study is to investigate the design of an AI-assisted system for identifying hazards and risks in production processes, aiming to maximize human safety. Equipped with real-time data analysis and predictive capabilities, this system could play a critical role in elevating the safety of workers in production environments. This research aims to shape a future where Industry 5.0 not only prioritizes efficiency but also the health and safety of employees. The safety-focused solutions brought by Industry 5.0 can enhance the positive impact on the occupational health and safety of the workforce, enabling them to have safer working conditions.
