initial approach phase during which there was fear for the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.todsystem.com\/en\/robots-and-ai-in-logistics-cobots-and-employment-impact\/\"><strong>employment impact of robotics<\/strong><\/a>, even collaborative, in sectors such as, for example, that of new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todsystem.com\/en\/logistics-4-0-things-and-how-to-improve-your-warehouse\/\"><strong>logistics 4.0<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most virtuous and representative technological element of this desired collaboration is represented by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todsystem.com\/en\/cobot-industrial-automation-that-simplifies-human-work\/\"><strong>cobots<\/strong><\/a>, which therefore qualify as genuine <strong>enabling technology<\/strong> for Industry 5.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main advantage of the latter, compared to the implementation of the Industry 5.0 paradigm, is that their <strong>integration into industrial processes<\/strong>, especially for multiple tasks <strong>repetitive <\/strong>And <strong>heavy<\/strong>, provides human operators with greater opportunities to use their creative talent in different tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fifth cultural revolution, especially in the manufacturing sector, ultimately aims to intervene and reset some incomplete aspects of the previous industrial automation model: from the working conditions of operators to environmental sustainability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-fef7927a gb-headline-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lapproccio_human-centric\"><\/span>The human-centric approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What does it mean exactly <strong>human-centric approach<\/strong> in Industry 5.0? Simply put, it is an approach oriented towards people and their needs, which places man and not just technology at the center of production.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that advanced technologies are used to<strong> improve the life and work of operators and not to replace them<\/strong>. Furthermore, we try to create a working environment <strong>Safe<\/strong> and comfortable, where operators can carry out their activities efficiently and satisfactorily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve a truly human-centric approach, therefore, it is necessary to follow <strong>some fundamental principles<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, it is necessary to understand the needs of operators and always keep them present in the <strong>systems design<\/strong> productive. This means <strong>involve operators<\/strong> from the beginning, listen to their opinions and needs and try to satisfy them as efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, it will be important to aim for the creation of a safe and comfortable working environment. This, in companies already 4.0, populated by robots, means taking into consideration aspects related to ergonomics and co-presence with &quot;robotic colleagues&quot;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is in this context that the advantages of the <strong>cobots<\/strong>, endowed of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todsystem.com\/en\/safety-in-the-world-of-collaborative-robotics\/\">hardware and software security systems<\/a> capable of guaranteeing perfect physical collaboration between man and machine (the so-called <strong>PHRI<\/strong>, that is to say <em>Physical Human-Robot Interaction<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, we return to a previously mentioned concept: that of <strong>use technology to improve the lives and work of operators<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THE <strong>cobots<\/strong>, for example, can be used for <strong>carry out the most repetitive and tiring activities<\/strong>, while the<strong>artificial intelligence<\/strong> it can be used to support decision-making assessments by the operators themselves, as well as for managers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, thanks to the<strong>Internet of Things<\/strong> (IoT) it is possible to monitor the working environment and detect any problems before they become critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the<strong>Industry 4.0<\/strong> it is therefore characterized by connection and digitalisation, with the consequent creation of intelligent factories (<strong>Smart Factory<\/strong>), the objective of<strong>Industry 5.0<\/strong> is that of <strong>take the next step<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This consists in truly taking full advantage of the collaboration between increasingly powerful technologies and human beings, adopting a completely new approach, <strong>human-centric<\/strong> precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-166d98ba gb-headline-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Il_co-engineering_come_supporto_allIndustria_50\"><\/span>Co-engineering as a support for Industry 5.0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have already made it clear: among the solutions that today guarantee greater support to industries, and which have transported them to Industry 4.0, there are collaborative robots (<strong>cobots<\/strong>), as well as mobile robots (<strong>mobot<\/strong>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These robots, in fact, are capable of <strong>work closely with human operators<\/strong>, without the risk of causing damage or accidents, and they can be <strong>programmed and reprogrammed <\/strong>to carry out a wide range of activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, for companies that want to use cobots, it can often be difficult to find a model that perfectly fits their specific needs. And this is where the <strong>co-engineering<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we refer to co-engineering, we are referring to that process of <strong>collaboration between automation providers and companies that use their products<\/strong>, based on the sharing of knowledge and skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, co-engineering can be used to support <strong>creation of increasingly personalized cobots<\/strong> to the needs of the companies that purchase them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This practice, in fact, allows companies to have a <strong>active role<\/strong> in the design and development of their cobots, providing constant feedback to automation suppliers and helping them understand what the specific needs of the companies themselves are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that cobots can be designed to meet the specific needs of businesses, which can differ from industry to industry, business to business, and business to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, co-engineering can be of great support in the implementation of a project <strong>System Integration<\/strong>, that is, to integrate cobots with other existing automation systems within the company, such as machinery, sensors and monitoring systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this juncture, more specifically, we will talk about collaboration between companies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noitech.net\/system-integrator-cose-e-perche-e-importante-per-lazienda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>System Integrator<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key word, ultimately, is <strong>customization of solutions<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a trend that has already entered the forecasting radar of large collaborative robotics giants such as <strong>Universal Robots<\/strong>, and its vice president, strategy and innovation, <strong>Anders Beck<\/strong>.<br>In fact, it is Beck himself who indicates co.engineering as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todsystem.com\/en\/collaborative-robotics-in-growth-trends-for-2023-according-to-enrico-krog-onrobot-and-anders-beck-ur\/\"><strong>main trends in collaborative robotics for 2023<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are at a new step in industrial evolution.
