Sustainable development of the intelligent industry from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0
Open accessAbstract
The current stage of socio-economic development is focused on ensuring prosperity by meeting the goals and intensifying the practices of the 4th generation smart industry.The ways and methods of advancement are being scientifi cally researched and specifi ed, while at the same time revealing errors and weaknesses in the development so far, which are the potential for continuous increase of prosperity and sustainable production and consumption.From this point of view, the paper analyses and more accurately formulates the eff ects of smart industry 4.0 on the economy and society in a global sense.In the context of the new industry 5.0 development concept identifi es signifi cant progress in automation, robotization and digitization of imaginary processes supporting economic growth with obvious reserves and risks in the social fi eld, as well as in relation to sustainable development and climate strategies, especially in the environmental fi eld.In the article, the authors present the concept of models for intensifi cation and transition from the developed implementation model for Industry 4.0 to the environment and concepts of Industry 5.0.Priorities for the development and innovation of the fourth generation smart industry within the fi fth generation concept and possible synergy eff ects from human-robot-machine-environment cooperation, especially in the social fi eld and in ensuring the well-being of workers in industry, are formulated in more detail.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
