Summary
Over the last decade, Industry 4.0 has focused more on digitization, digitalization, and AI-driven (Artificial Intelligence) technologies for increasing the efficiency and flexibility of production and manufacturing systems and networks. However, the last five years, several organizations from around the world, such as the Japanese government, and the European Commission have proposed the concept of super smart and intelligent Society (Society 5.0). This concept is based on the humancentric aspect of technologies, systems, and services, towards the improvement of human-centricity, resiliency, and sustainability of manufacturing systems and networks. By extension the concept of Industry 5.0, which complements the existing “Industry 4.0” paradigm, can be considered as a subset of Society 5.0. However, since the abovementioned initiatives have been released to the global community, several research efforts focused on the comparison of Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0. The comparison is targeted to the validity of the Society 5.0 and Industry 5.0 concepts. The ongoing Industry 4.0 is technology-focused, whereas Industry 5.0 is a more value-driven approach, towards the implementation of the available enabling technologies in industry. This new model is based on three interconnected core pillars as follows: human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. In parallel to the initiatives began from the European and Japanese organizations, the Chinese Academy of Engineering proposed the concept of Human-Cyber-Physical Systems (HCPS) in the context of new-generation intelligent manufacturing, concluding that the essence of intelligent manufacturing is to design, construct, and apply HCPS in various cases and at different levels. Both Industry 5.0 and HCPS are based on the implementation of Human Digital Twin (HDT) methods towards the realization of human-centric smart manufacturing. The concept of a Human Digital Twin (HDT) is gaining momentum to improve the integration of human beings into CPS. HDTs are virtual models of individuals that replicate their physiological, behavioral, and cognitive characteristics. By creating a virtual representation of a human, HDTs can provide real-time feedback on the impact of new technologies or system designs on human behavior and physiology. By extension Human-Centricity is a new way of thinking about big data set management and its implications in terms of data generation in manufacturing, focusing on key terms such as (self)sovereignty, self-determination, self-governance, autonomy, agency and so on. However, in recent years, more and more complete and realistic twins of machines and equipment are included in the digital representations of the factories, while humans have been almost neglected. Nevertheless, human characteristics, behavioral patterns, psychophysical and organizational conditions are quite important, and have a direct impact on the final performance and operations of production systems toward HCPS and Industry 5.0. Considering the emerging challenges and opportunities, this presentation focuses on the detailed presentation and discussion of the functional and operational aspects of HDT, towards the realization of HCPS.
