The industrial revolution began in the 1784 in Great Britain with Industry 1.

0, which was
characterized by industrialized mechanical arrangements using coal, human, water power and
stream-power. Industry 2.0 began in 1870 and represented mass production through the use of
electrical energy in the assembly lines. Industry 3.0 started almost a century later in 1969 and
established automation and microelectronic skills into the industrialized field. Industry 4.0 which
is the digitization phase started at the beginning of the 21st century with the inclusion of Cyber-
physical-systems (CPS), which makes revolutionary changes in manufacturing. The subsequent
step of the Industrial Revolution for tonorrow seems to be Industry 5.0, which is expected to
incorporate AI, IoT, and improvements on Industry 4.0 technologies .

Industry 4.0 is characterized by the increasing digitization and automation of the


manufacturing environment, as well as the creation of a digital value chain enabling
communication between products, their environments, and business partners. To implement
these elements of Industry 4.0, numerous technologies related to automation, digitization,
and increased connectivity are used.

The following are the 13 key enabling technologies of Industry 4.0:

1. Big Data Analytics

2. Internet of Things (IoT)

3. Additive Manufacturing (AM)

4. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

5. Cloud Computing Technologies

6. Virtualization

7. Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS)

8. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)

9. Digital Twin Technology

10. Smart & Connected Communities

11. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

12. Business Process Management (BPM)

13. Information Integration and Interoperability


These technologies have made it possible to build "smart factories" where people, equipment,
and products can all be connected and communicate with one another in real time, which is
what is driving manufacturing integration. This enables more streamlined, adaptable, and
personalized manufacturing procedures. IoT sensors, for instance, can be used to track the
performance and status of products and machinery in real-time. Big data analytics can then be
used to examine this data in order to find trends and improve procedures.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is another key technology that is driving manufacturing


integration. Complex geometries and specialized goods can be produced with additive
manufacturing (AM) on demand and closer to the point of application. Large stockpiles and
protracted supply chains are less necessary as a result, increasing efficiency and lowering
costs.

While China has emerged to produce the highest national proportion of publications for
Industry 4.0, Europe as a whole continues to be a worldwide leader in these technologies..
India has also experienced a rapid rise in some Industry 4.0 technological fields, while the
combined shares of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have decreased.

Knowledge management in organizations can bring many benefits for R&D operations of
companies and corporations.Organizations can enhance their capacity for creativity, minimize
duplication of effort, and quicken the pace of development by managing knowledge properly.
Organizations can find new chances for growth and development as well as their core
capabilities by utilizing knowledge management. Additionally, knowledge management can
aid businesses in better understanding their markets and consumers, which in turn results in
more successful product creation and marketing plans.

Socio-economic issues arise when revolutions transition between distinct phases.The possible
displacement of human labour is one of Industry 4.0's key issues. There is a chance that many
vocations will become obsolete as machines become more sophisticated and capable of carrying
out tasks that were previously performed by humans. Increased unemployment and income
disparity may result from this, especially for those who lack the abilities to adjust to the new
technology environment.

The digital gap is another issue that Industry 4.0 must address. Although developed economies
are making significant investments in Industry 4.0 technologies, many developing nations lack
the resources and infrastructure required to implement these technologies. As a result, the gap
between industrialized and developing nations can expand, with the former benefiting from
Industry 4.0 while the latter fall behind.
Industry 4.0 also presents issues with data security and privacy. Sensitive data could potentially
be compromised as more devices connect to the internet. For businesses and people, this might
result in large financial losses as well as reputational harm.

Collaboration between authorities, businesses, and individuals is crucial to overcoming these


issues. To help workers develop the skills necessary to adapt to the new technological world,
governments can fund education and training programs. They may also offer incentives for
businesses in underdeveloped nations to invest in Industry 4.0 technologies. Businesses can
place a high priority on data privacy and security, and they can collaborate with legislators to
create rules that safeguard sensitive data. The last thing people can do is educate themselves
about Industry 4.0 and how it can affect their lives and livelihoods.

Industry 5.0 is the most recent paradigm shift in the industrial revolution, and it places an
emphasis on how people and machines may work together to create better goods and
services. The idea was first presented in the beginning of 2015 and has since attracted a lot of
interest from both academics and businesses.

Industry 5.0 is the next phase of the industrial revolution following Industry 4.0, which
concentrated on end-to-end digitalization and the integration of digital industrial ecosystems
(Page 5). Contrarily, Industry 5.0 stresses human-machine cooperation with an emphasis on
innovative human-machine interfaces achieved through human-machine interaction. Cobots,
also known as collaborative robots, are used to create this collaboration and can satisfy the
demand for businesses that produce individualized products.

Industry 5.0 aims to solve the issues associated with removing human workers from different
manufacturing procedures. It also highlights the need for advanced technologies to boost the

Scholars have also provided their definitions of Industry 5.0. According to a study by
Kagermann et al. (2013), Industry 5.0 is characterized by the integration of humans and
machines in a way that allows them to work together in a flexible and adaptable manner. The
study emphasizes the importance of human creativity and problem-solving skills in the
manufacturing process.

Another study by Wang et al. (2018) defines Industry 5.0 as a new era of intelligent
manufacturing that combines the strengths of Industry 4.0 and human intelligence. The study
