Emerging Technologies in Industry 5.0: Sustainable Innovation for a Value-Driven Future

Industry 5.0 is an industrial model that evolves from the experience of Industry 4.0. However, this paradigm shift is aimed at establishing a hyper-connected industrial ecosystem driven by essential values that allow the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The present work examines the enabling technologies inherited from Industry 4.0 such as big data, augmented reality, or artificial intelligence, to determine to what extent they are beneficial for the worker in the new desired industrial context. Furthermore, the objective of this work is based on identifying and characterizing the new technologies that emerge from the core of Industry 5.0. This analysis establishes an essential foundation for the future development of innovative and competitive industrial systems that are also socially and environmentally responsible. Thus, this research contributes to the progress towards more ethical and sustainable industrial practices, aligned with the fundamental principles of Industry 5.0 and the global commitment to achieve sustainable development goals.
