![]() Yet, away from revolutions and back to Industry 5.0. Everything is relative and industrial revolutions these days are a matter of vision. And in Japan, with Society 5.0, a much broader concept, they have started a, you guessed it, fifth industrial revolution. ![]() Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 compared in the view of Frost & Sullivan – source and much more hereįor the record and your information: in the US, where the term Industrial IoT, originally in the sense of Industrial Internet (hence the ‘Industrial Internet Consortium or IIC), is often used instead of Industry 4.0, the vision was that we’d entered a third (3rd) industrial revolution. Industry 5.0 is not related to yet another industrial revolution that would be pretty absurd. Industry 5.0 – not another revolution, a complement (or correction if you will) This European dimension is also present in the idea of Industry 5.0 or, at least, in the way Industry 5.0 ‘evolves.’ As a term and vision, Industry 5.0 isn’t a European nor new ‘invention’ (see the examples of and links to Frost & Sullivan, and the ISA or International Society of Automation below), but the EU firmly pushes it in a somewhat adapted vision for the future. While various countries across the globe had similar initiatives, Industry 4.0 became known worldwide but still predominantly has a European connotation. We’ve explained all this in-depth in our Industry 4.0 guide.Īlthough this originally wasn’t sure, the vision of Industry 4.0 is also tied to the notion of a fourth industrial revolution, in which we are living. There are more technologies and elements, such as the so-called cyber-physical systems, horizontal and vertical integration, the move from industrial automation to industrial digital transformation, connected value chains, and more. ![]() Industry 4.0 is essentially driven by cyber-physical convergence, enabled by IoT (the Internet of Things), supporting technologies, digit(al)ization, automation, and the convergence of IT and OT (short for operational technology but also about people and teams specialized in it, like with IT). Perhaps it all becomes a bit confusing, so here’s what you need to know. If you haven’t yet, you undoubtedly will. And for several years, you might have come across the term Industry 5.0. In 2017, Japan shared its vision on a concept called Society 5.0 at the CeBIT fair, also in Germany. In 2011 the vision of Industry 4.0, initially meant for the German (manufacturing) industry, was officially presented at the Hannover Messe fair. Industry 5.0 shifts the focus from the shareholder value to stakeholder value and reinforces the role and the contribution of industry to society. Driven by the impact of the pandemic, the focus on topics such as sustainability and resilience, and the call to put people more central again, it has become a subject policymakers and organizations increasingly pay attention to. The term Industry 5.0 popped up several years ago as a reaction to the vision of Industry 4.0.
