A&D Industry 5.0 – Its Humanising Influence on the Future Direction of Manufacturing

admin / November 30, 2023

Industry 4.0 is now mainstream in manufacturing processes worldwide. Although A&D was slow to adopt initially, it is so well on course with 4.0 implementations.Now among A&D circles, attention is turning to the next evolution of smart and intelligent manufacturing—Industry 5.0. Here, Matt Medley, Global Industry Director, A&D, IFS, analyses the key implications for A&D manufacturing, from humanised robots (cobots) and assistive wearable to build to order and hyper globalisation pullback. Although Industry 5.0 is still an emerging approach, early understanding is that it is not just the new technology, but a more encompassing approach to the use of technology in a societal environment. This is evidenced by theEuropean Commission Policy Brief that set out its vision for Industry 5.0—“that aims beyond efficiency and productivity as the sole goals and reinforces the role and the contribution of industry to society.” It should complement the existing “Industry 4.0” approach by specifically putting research and innovation at the service of the transition to a sustainable, human-centric and resilient manufacturing industry. North American organisations, too, have Industry 5.0 in their sights. North American respondents to a recent Boyden Executive Survey were intensely focused on the human core of Industry 5.0, with growth driven by innovation and human capital, and structural change driven by competing for the right talent to leverage digital advances. There are some core themes shaping Industry 5.0 within A&D manufacturing as it becomes a more established manufacturing approach. 1.Technology 4.5 – the digital thread that is bridging the gap to new manufacturing approaches – Meet the Cobot! While its foundations have yet to settle one thing is certain—technology is providing an initial steppingstone towards the core themes of 5.0.IoT, additive manufacturing, augmented reality, and digital twins are all processes that have gained credence in factories and assets to make the output of manufacturing projects quicker, more efficient, and data-driven. This has allowed a “digital thread” to be built across A&D equipment from design, through to prototyping, manufacturing, and even in-service support. Enter the collaborative robot, or “cobot”. The International Centre for Industrial Transformation views Industry 5.0 as “…an add-on to Industry 4.0, building upon the groundwork laid by these smart technologies. While the focus of Industry 4.0 was connectivity, digitalisation and automation, Industry 5.0 highlights the importance of human-robot collaboration and the relationship between man and machine, or ‘cobots’.” 5.0 will build the relationship between man and machine New technology applications are emerging as part of Industry 5.0 that focus more on the people executing the manufacturing—particularly to improve their physical capability and safety.In an A&D context, we will start to see and indeed are already seeing technology and equipment from a military background becoming commercialised. Take the example of the Lockheed Martin Onyx Exoskeleton, which uses AI, gathers movement data from users’ feet, knee, and hip sensors and forwards it to a control module stationed on the waist which instructs the exoskeleton to move accordingly to counteract over stress on the back during operations. Commercially, Boeing has been trialing an EksoVest from Ekso Bionics, an upper-body lifting exoskeleton designed to increase productivity and reduce fatigue, and found that it caused an increase in worker speed in test groups of South Carolina mechanics. Human-centric robotics developments do include the rise of “cobots”, where human operators can efficiently and safely work next to robots to perform key manufacturing tasks. As part of its “Smart Factory 2025” initiative, Audi has flagged one of its key aims to enhance this type of human-robot interaction (HRI). Beyond physical technologies there are also interesting neurological tech applications such as brain-computer interface (BCI), for example Neuralink, giving humans the ability to directly control machines without the physical constraints of the body—but we are some way off before seeing such technology fully commercialised. 2.Human Centricity – 5.0 will make manufacturing desirable again to address the skills shortage The latest stats from EY, conducted with the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), on the state of the A&D manufacturing workforce show the sector is experiencing the same sort of workforce and skills gaps as the wider manufacturing sector. As many as 69% of A&D manufacturing respondents strongly agree or agree that their organisation’s turnover has significantly increased within the last 12 months—demonstrating the intense competition and lack of readily available labour. Across current workforces there is a strong skew towards older employees—in terms of workforce age composition, survey results showed that employees aged 55 and older represent over a quarter of the workforce (28%), the highest of any age demographic. Assistive wearables The increasing development and use of the man/machine and technology/human interface can help provide some immediate relief for current older workers and attract new younger generations into the A&D manufacturing workspace. Assistive wearable tech can help older workers reaching retirement age achieve more power and productivity, putting less strain on them physically and also boosting safety. With this increasing digital focus, unlike some traditional views of the sector being a lower skilled “blue collar” job market, manufacturing is becoming a more exciting and desirable workplace once again. With more cutting-edge manufacturing and engineering tech, high-skills and high-paid jobs are becoming available as manufacturing becomes smarter and more intelligent. Make to order – purchasing goes personal: A&D manufacturers will need the digital thread to enable hyper-personalisation It’s not only employees who stand to benefit from a more people-centric approach within Industry 5.0.Hyper-personalisation is becoming an expected part of everyday life for consumers—consider real-time mobile alerts when walking past a shop or advertising board for a brand or product, or even dynamic digital price tags as individual consumers shop for goods. This move towards personalisation and individual buyer requirements is already reflected on the production side by customers looking for A&D assets and equipment. Make-to-order, configure-to-order, engineer-to-order, assemble-to-order are becoming common requirements for A&D equipment manufacturing. Smarter factories and digitally-focused products provide that coherent digital thread that can feed data back into the manufacturing process to allow quick changes to
