Hitachi: Top 10 emerging manufacturing trends in 2021

With 2021 fast approaching, Hitachi expresses the requirement for manufacturing organisations to turn their attention away from industry 4.0 and look towards industry 5.0. 

While industry 4.0 focuses on the use of technology to optimise production, 5.0 is all about connectivity, driving collaboration between humans and smart systems. “Depending on who you ask, Industry 5.0 is either on the immediate horizon, or it’s already here, its arrival accelerated by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic,” commented Hitachi.
