What Is Industry 5.0?

While Industry 4.0 is still relevant, new changes associated with Industry 5.0 are starting globally. In fact, Industry 5.0 does not put forward ideas against the digitalization efforts undertaken by Industry 4.0 but rather supports them. Industry 4.0 focused on technological advances such as IoT, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence and sought to increase efficiency by making the best use of them. The focus of Industry 5.0 is employees and the world.

Industry 5.0 can be briefly defined as the evolution of economic values into social values. Of course, this is an ambitious goal, and specific actions are needed to achieve it. Because, in theory, Industry 5.0 goes way beyond your brand or organization. In fact, we are required to put aside what we have learned in Industry 4.0. In Industry 5.0, the most effective way may not be right because the key point is to take care of the well-being of the world and employees.

That brings us to the issue of sustainability. Sustainability matters more now as we begin to feel the impact of climate change. Industry 5.0 also prioritizes this issue. Truly sustainable solutions based on respect for nature and resources are the basics of Industry 5.0.

Borusan Cat And Industry 5.0

We follow our purpose "We Create Solutions For a Better World" at every stage of our activity. We consider it most important that every step we take is environmentally friendly. To this end, we continue to develop new products, from energy use to recycling.

Working with AI, we collect data, analyze it and detect a malfunction before it even happens. Thus, we prevent the waste of resources.

With our Boom 360 app, we identify the malfunctions of our working machines by the sound they make and offer our customers rational solutions.

Through our proactive business model, we buy back our customers' used components, renew them in our Rebuild Centers, cover them with our warranty and offer them for reuse. We are leveraging our assets and making recycling a business model.

What Are Industry 5.0 Professions?

Everyone working in Industry 5.0 must first of all be focused. A set of skills that prioritize the world and colleagues is critical. That is why Industry 5.0 is called the "industrial revolution with a soul" as empathy and proactivity stand out as the leading skills of this period.

While it is hard to determine the jobs that will be popular in Industry 5.0, existing positions will almost certainly not disappear. It is predicted that the influence of engineering and software-oriented positions will continue in the era of digitalization. However, the need for environmentally minded leaders and employees who can perform flexible tasks and develop creative solutions seems to be increasing.

Differences Between Industry 4.0 and 5.0

Industry 4.0 and 5.0 offer solutions to the same problems. The main difference between the two is that Industry 5.0 aims to do this more collectively. Here we encounter the terms robots and cobots because Industry 5.0 emphasizes collaboration between people and machines.

Industry 5.0 is people-centered, created and led by people, and aims to make the world a better place through sustainable development and employee-centric progress. At the same time, it considers as its priority the protection and development of technological developments that originated within the framework of Industry 4.0.

When assessed in this context, we can define Industry 5.0 as a continuation of the approach that preceded it. One can say that the reassignment of a phenomenon whose priority is sustainability, and the trend that preceded it, is fully consistent with the principle of efficient use of resources!
