Abstract

As a novel concept, Industry 5.0 is making its rounds around the academic community and various industries. Despite its introduction over five years ago, definitions and perceptions are still under deliberation. Applications, methods of implementation and values are still in the conceptual phase. This study introduces a framework inclusive of human-centricity, sustainability and resilience, the pillars associated with Industry 5.0. It aims to differentiate the revolution from its predecessor, Industry 4.0, as it dives into the technologies associated with Industry 4.0 including but not limited to the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous robots, and artificial intelligence. As those technologies evolve through time, this study captures the various practices, and cultures of people and technology through the noted Industrial revolutions. Alongside the literature, this study further identifies Industry 5.0 attributes. It aims to bridge the gap by understanding the necessity for implementing Industry 5.0 in Aerospace and Defense Sectors with inputs provided by industry professionals and subject matter experts (SMEs). Further providing input to the gap in research for this “trailblazing” revolution and a theoretical framework with the possibility to serve as a guiding star for alternative industries.
