Advanced Manufacturing in Industry 5.0: A Survey of Key Enabling Technologies and Future Trends

A revolution in advanced manufacturing has been driven by digital technology in the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, and has resulted in a substantial increase in profits for the industry. In a new paradigm of Industry 5.0, advanced manufacturing will step further and be capable of offering customized products and a better user experience. A number of key enabling technologies are expected to play crucial roles in assisting Industry 5.0 in meeting higher demands of data acquisition and processing, communications, and collaborative robots in the advanced manufacturing process. The aim of this survey is to provide novel insights into advanced manufacturing in Industry 5.0 by summarizing the latest progress of key enabling technologies such as Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), beyond 5G communications, and collaborative robotics. Finally, key directions for future research to enable this vision to become a reality, such as the industrial metaverse, are outlined.
