Human-centric proactive integrated design paradigm of intelligent manufacturing system towards Industry 5.0

Abstract

With the ongoing transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0, intelligent manufacturing systems (IMS) based on machine vision are increasingly prioritizing both human-centric principles and proactive integrated design. However, existing systems often face challenges in effectively balancing technical performance with the integration of human factors. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a human-centric proactive IMS integration framework aligned with Industry 5.0 objectives. The framework is structured around three key synergistic steps: First, hierarchical task decomposition: Complex production tasks are subdivided into essential subtasks such as calibration, positioning. Second, human-centric design: Human factors are systematically embedded in each subtask through unified design frameworks or computational models. Third, proactive integrated design: enhances autonomous collaboration is achieved through the proactive integrated design of communication protocols, establishing autonomous interactions between IMS modules to enable intelligent cooperation. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework not only retains the technical characteristics of high precision and stability from Industry 4.0, but also incorporates the human-centric usability required for Industry 5.0. This approach extends Industry 4.0 foundations and provides a scalable pathway toward Industry 5.0 development through human-centric proactive integration.
