About this Research Topic
Barely having absorbed the technologies and approaches brought by Industry 4.0, manufacturing organizations already hear discourse about Industry 5.0. The transition to the digital technologies, automation, and connectivity is still a transformative journey for many of them. Industry 5.0 complements the 4.0 approach by centering the production processes around the well-being of the workers, specifically putting research and innovation at the service of the transition to a sustainable, human-centric and resilient industry. So, apart from the not-at-all-easy endeavors of putting IIoT, cloud computing, and big data to work, human-centric approaches and interaction & user experience design come to play.
Such solutions are software-first technology, promising to be efficient, flexible, and able to absorb changes without greatly impacting operating costs. However, as organizations increasingly rely on software to increase their effectiveness, all components of cost associated to software become important issues of concern. As such, open source software, which is typically made available at no cost, becomes increasingly appealing for constructing affordable I5.0 solutions.
This Research Topic aims to explore the challenges of designing & developing I5.0-ready solutions based on open source software. We encourage potential authors to submit manuscripts that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
• Cost-Benefit Analysis of OSS-based Industry 5.0 Solutions
• Open-Source AI Solutions for Human-Centric Smart Manufacturing
• Open-Source ML Tools for for Human-Supervised Predictive Maintenance in Industry 5.0
• OSS Adoption Barriers and Enablers in Industry 5.0
• OSS Tools for Agile Manufacturing
