Improving Students Digital Skills as a Tool to Prepare for the Worker 5.0 Position in a Smart Lean Factory
摘要
With the increasing digitalization of industrial processes and the transition to the Industry 5.0 paradigm, there is an increasing emphasis on developing advanced digital skills of workers. This article focuses on innovative approaches in education that support the preparation of students for the position of “Worker 5.0” in a laboratory environment simulating a smart lean factory. We present an education concept based on integrating digital technologies such as augmented and mixed reality, digital twins and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), which enable the simulation and control of production processes in real time. Research carried out in laboratory conditions demonstrates the effectiveness of the combination of practical learning using XR platforms and smart production lines, thereby strengthening adaptability, digital literacy and the ability of students to solve complex tasks in the context of lean and smart production. The obtained results point to the need to link technical education with the real demands of the labor market and present a comprehensive concept and recommendations for the modernization of teaching in the field of industrial engineering.
