Systematic review of Industry 5.0 from main aspects to the execution status

Purpose: The main aim of this study is to review different aspects of Industry 5.0 (I5.0) to foster this novel aspect of industrial sustainability. The study makes a comprehensive study to explore the implementation status of I5.0 in industries, key technologies, adoption level in different nations, barriers to I5.0 adoption together with mitigation actions.

Methodology: To do a systematic study of the literature authors have used preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) methodology to extract articles related to the field of the study.

Findings: It has been found that academic literature on the I5.0 is continuously growing as the wheel of time is running. Most of the studies on I5.0 are conceptual-based, and manufacturing and medical industries are the flag bearer in the adoption of this novel aspect. Further, due to I5.0's infancy, many organizations face difficulty to adopt the same due to financial burden, resistive nature, a well-designed standard for cyber-physical systems, and an effective mechanism for human-robot collaboration. Further study also provides avenues for future research in terms of the identification of collaborative mechanisms between machines and wells, the establishment of different standards for comparison, development of I5.0-enabled models for different industrial domains. The study also provides concrete measures for mapping the I5.0 technologies with Sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Originality: The study is of the first kind that reviews different facets of I5.0in conjunction with Kazien’s measures along with application areas and provides avenues for future research to improve an organization's environmental and social sustainability.
