INDUSTRY 5.0 - from virtual to physical
There is lot of discussions and topics related to INDUSTRY 4.0. Almost every single business conference does touch the topic and every business leader say "WE ARE ON BOARD"
When I listen to those, it seems to me that the real life will disappear and change to virtual one because every one speaks about "SMART, INTERNET OF THINGS, DATA, DATA PROTECTION, DATA STORAGE, ..." and many more.
Because all machines and products will communicate, control and interact with each other, it sounds to me that the bottle neck named HUMAN can be eliminated.
There are many trials to clone animals. First flowers get "electronics support" already. Growing is the number of human cloning trials (of course with the aim to help in medicine), but in my whole life I have not noticed trials to find a way how to feed people and animals and nature with digits "1" and "0" which are behind all virtual worlds
Due to this issue I have decided myself that INDUSTRY 4.0 has to be outrun by INDUSTRY 5.0 and because there is none, I have to build it from scratch. I name it INDUSTRIAL UPCYCLING and the tools and environment of this industry is not virtual but PHYSICAL.
The tools are the hands, hammers, cutters, saws, as well as computers, 3D scanners and printers and much more, but with one significant difference - we use these tools as tools, do not give them the function and brain to WORK FOR US, but WORK WITH US.
One hand is strong, two hands are stronger and more skillful. People have variable abilities so as industries and INDUSTRIAL UPCYCLING break down the borders of isolation and setup physical chain of physical work which connect and support all, not just one.
INDUSTRIAL UPCYCLING is new industry and the only one which does not harm the environment, does not take the work and reason to live from people, but deliver it to them and utilize the best in every human being to contribute to the development.
I hope this short introduction help to understand why 5.0 is needed to be developed, for only this industry will be able to feed not only the virtual bank accounts but stomach, head and soul, which all remains forgotten in INDUSTRY 4.0.

7Dear Will Searle thank you for your comment. You are right and it is not about the number but approach. In our INDUSTRIAL UPCYCLING projects we are trying to implement "old, precisious" skills with new materials so as people of all ages together to share not just money, but knowledge, skills, experience. This is the way I see connectivity in INDUSTRY 5.0

7An interesting approach !! As a manufacturing engineer by training, who has spent the last 27 years putting people & technology together I'm intrigued ... Why... in 1989 I connected a computer to aCAD system with a wire.
Used it to programme a 5-axis CNC milling machine.
Used the CNC milling machine to turn a 40 x 40 x 15mm slab of aluminium into a product.
Used an excel spreadsheet to work out how much it cost to sell 10 a year.
BP then connected that 'thing' to a computer & used it to develop LCD's at MIT.
It took a year - and we used 1 computer to make it - we emailed the instructions to MIT !
Was this Industry 1.0 !
In the past 3 years I've seen a good number of industries watching the 'connected' world try to talk to the 'virtual' world it seems practical to declare that the 4.0 , IOT, thing hype has finally reached a new number
But - it seems that giving things new numbers is great & regardless of the number !
