Abstract
CARRO SUAREZ, Jorge and SARMIENTO PAREDES, Susana. The human factor and its role in the transition to Industry 5.0: a systematic review and future perspectives. Entreciencias: diálogos soc. conoc. [online]. 2022, vol.10, n.24, e81727. Epub Feb 28, 2023. ISSN 2007-8064. https://doi.org/10.22201/enesl.20078064e.2022.24.81727.
Purpose:
To determine the functions and skills required by the human factor as part of its new role in the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0
Methodological design:
A systematic literature review was carried out based on a bibliometric analysis in the Science Direct database to examine the most relevant findings of research that consider the human factor within the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0. The review was complemented with the design of a framework of Theory, Context, Characteristics and Methodology (TCCM) to determine the functions and skills required in the new role of the human being during the transition.
Results:
Based on the methodological design, it was observed that Industry 4.0 generated a new industrial revolution combining advanced manufacturing techniques with new digital technologies to increase productivity, reduce human participation and, consequently, boost competitiveness. However, it was also identified that these new intelligent processes still have limitations and still require human supervision in such a way that these two work forces cannot be considered independent but on the contrary must complement each other.
Research limitations:
The scope of the research was limited to an exploratory and descriptive study.
Findings:
Among the most relevant findings, the functions and skills required by the human factor in this new digital age are highlighted as well as the importance of the industrial sector considering it as a main axis within the process of innovation and sustainable development.
Keywords : human factor; Industry 5.0; technological innovation; business sustainability.
