Industrial IoT Platforms Enabling Industry 4.0 Digitization Towards Industry 5.0

This research paper explores the evolution of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platforms and their pivotal role in the digitization of Industry 4.0, as well as their contribution to the transition towards Industry 5.0. The characteristics, challenges and opportunities of these platforms will be addressed, highlighting their impact on the digital transformation of industrial operations. Two case studies are unveiled, showcasing the implementation of IIoT platforms. These platforms leverage cutting-edge technology, notably from the AWS (Amazon Web Services) ecosystem, enabling the development of solutions grounded in the three pillars of Industry 5.0: human-centered design, sustainability, and resilience. Through these case studies, its aim to illustrate how the integration of AWS technologies contributes to the realization of Industry 5.0 principles, emphasizing a focus on human-centric approaches, sustainable practices, and resilient industrial systems.
