Up-Skilling for Industry 5.0 Roll-Out

第四次工业革命/工业4.0通过融合物理世界和数字世界，降低了生产成本，提高了产品质量的一致性，并实现了大规模定制。过渡仍在进行中--Industry 4.0是一项通用技术，可在所有工业部门实现增值。然而，在人类层面上，人们对工业4.0的看法并不都是积极的。它一直受到裁员和在某些领域完全取代人类劳动力的担忧的困扰。自动化项目经常因为忽略了业务成功中的关键技术人员因素而失败，造成了意想不到的后果，包括客户满意度下降、产品质量下降和流程效率下降。单靠自动化显然不能成为持续竞争优势的来源。I5.0将解决人与技术之间的平衡，重点关注熟练工人和自动化之间的协作关系。其目的是恢复熟练的工艺在生产过程的中心，在那里人们增加独特的价值和竞争优势，并通过从Industry 4.0中涌现的智能、数据驱动的技术来增强。在提升技能项目中，我们将讨论工业5.0的影响，特别是自动化、熟练工作和组织系统之间的关系。我们的研究将建立自动化和人力投入之间的关系如何在一系列工业环境中发挥作用，创建比较的案例研究，以获取有效的实施战略。我们将解决生产中开发不足的战略空间-在这些领域，自动化为熟练和手工工作增加了价值，而进一步的自动化可能会破坏产品价值。这项研究将确定需要改变的组织特征，以确保技术进步在公司内部实施，同时确保人、机器和组织的可持续附加值。

The 4th Industrial Revolution/Industry 4.0 has enabled reduction of production costs, improved consistency of product quality and enabled mass customisation by merging the physical and digital worlds. The transition is still ongoing - Industry 4.0 is a general-purpose technology, adding value across all industrial sectors. However, the perception of Industry 4.0 at a human level has not all been positive. It has been plagued by fear of job cuts and in some sectors completely replacing the human workforce. Automation projects have often failed due to omitting the critical skilled human elements in business success with unintended consequences including reduced customer satisfaction, poorer product quality and lower process efficiency. Automation alone clearly cannot be a source of sustained competitive advantage. I5.0 will address the balance between humans and technology, focussing on the collaborative relationship between skilled workers and automation. The intent is reinstate skilled craftsmanship at the centre of production processes where people add unique value and competitive advantage, augmented by intelligent, data-driven technology emerging from Industry 4.0. In the Up-Skill project, we will address the implications of Industry 5.0, in particular the relationship between automation, skilled work and organisational systems. Our research will establish how the relationship between automation and human input plays out in a range of industrial settings, creating comparative case studies to capture effective implementation strategies. We will address under-explored strategic spaces in production - where automation adds value to skilled and artisanal work, and where further automation risks undermining product value. This research will identify the shifting organisational characteristics that are needed to ensure technology advancements are implemented within companies while ensuring sustainable, added value for man, machine, and organisation.
