Revolutionizing Industry 5.0: Harnessing the Power of Digital Human Modelling

Industry 5.0 signifies a significant transformation in the manufacturing sector, propelled by the convergence of advanced technologies and the incorporation of human-centric principles. This work explores the transformative potential of Digital Human Modelling (DHM) in revolutionizing Industry 5.0 across various sectors, including manufacturing, textiles, robotics, and energy. The manufacturing sector stands to benefit significantly from the application of DHM, as it enables enhanced design and optimization of production processes while considering human factors and ergonomics. DHM facilitates the development of human-centered smart factories, enabling efficient operations and improved safety management. In the textile sector, DHM offers opportunities to enhance the design of ergonomic workstations, optimize worker comfort, and improve overall productivity. In the area of robotics, DHM plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of workers. It enables the evaluation and optimization of human-robot interactions. DHM enables the design of collaborative work environments, where robots and humans can work together. In the energy sector, DHM contributes to the optimization of energy consumption, reducing carbon footprints, and promoting sustainable practices. By harnessing the power of DHM in these sectors, Industry 5.0 can achieve remarkable advancements in terms of efficiency, safety, productivity, and sustainability. This paper highlights the potential of DHM to reshape the manufacturing sector and its applications across textiles, robotics, and energy. The insights and findings presented here serve as a guide for researchers and practitioners aiming to unlock the full potential of DHM in driving the success of Industry 5.0.
