Industry 4.0: Digital innovation

In 2011, Germany proposed the concept of Industry 4.0, which aims to digitize and network the production process through Internet technology and intelligent manufacturing. Industry 4.0 has promoted the extensive application of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence in the manufacturing industry, opening a new chapter in intelligent manufacturing and smart factories.

FBMSVH This series of industrial revolutions not only promoted the innovation and application of technology, but also profoundly changed the human way of life and social structure, and provided a strong driving force for global economic growth. Each industrial revolution is a leap across The Times, and together they weave the brilliant picture of today’s industrial society.

03 Differences between Industry 5.0 and Industry 4.0

Industry 5.0 is not only the successor to Industry 4.0, but also complements and develops it, introducing key dimensions that have not been deeply explored in the era of Industry 4.0 – humanity, environmental sustainability and flexibility. This marks the beginning of a new industrial era, in which technological innovation is no longer solely concerned with maximizing economic benefits, but more focused on contributing to social values.

On the basis of Industry 4.0 to promote digitalization and intelligence, Industry 5.0 puts forward the concept of “people-oriented”, emphasizing the collaborative work of people and machines, rather than simple automation replacement. This collaboration not only improves production efficiency, but more importantly, it promotes innovation and personalized production, meeting the market demand for diversified and customized products.

FBMSVH Environmental sustainability is another core element of Industry 5.0. With the increasing global environmental issues, Industry 5.0 emphasizes the adoption of green and renewable technologies to achieve the decarbonization of production processes and reduce the negative impact on the environment. This is not only responsible for the future of the planet, but also an investment in the long-term development of the company.

In addition, Industry 5.0 also focuses on the flexibility and resilience of the production process to better respond to changes in the market and environment. This flexibility allows companies to quickly adapt to changing consumer needs and possible supply chain disruptions, thereby remaining competitive.

04 Three important concepts for Industry 5.0

The concept of Industry 5.0 is built on three core pillars, which are “people first”, “sustainability” and “resilience”. These pillars not only define the goals and methods of Industry 5.0, but also indicate the future direction of manufacturing. Below, let’s dive deeper into the meaning and practical strategies of each pillar.
