Smart Manufacturing 5.0: Sustainability, Human-Centricity and Resilience offers essential insights into sustainable engineering and industrial innovation trends. The fourth industrial revolution, or Smart Manufacturing, integrates digital technologies with production and management systems, enabling real-time data access and improved decision-making. This integration enhances agility, flexibility and control, potentially achieving zero-defect manufacturing. However, the heavy reliance on technology and real-time data processing can challenge human interaction. As humans cannot process vast data in real-time, there is a need for better approaches to facilitate effective human-technology interaction.
