Robotics Industry 5.0


Robots are mechanical devices that perform work automatically. It can accept human commands, run pre-programmed programs, and act according to principles and programs formulated with artificial intelligence technology. Its mission is to assist or replace human work, such as production, handling, stacking, or some dangerous work.

Our concept of robot has gradually come to agreement. Generally speaking, people can accept that a robot is a machine that realizes various functions by its own power and control ability.

The United Nations Organization for standardization adopted the definition of robot given by the American robotics Association: "A programmable and multifunctional operating device; or a specialized system with computer-changeable and programmable actions for performing different tasks." It can bring many conveniences to mankind!

As more and more physical factories become more intelligent and efficient, robots will occupy a more important position in the manufacturing industry. And with the progress of robot technology, these machines can show more complex and excellent functions, including machine learning and memory, higher flexibility and more effective cooperation ability.

Robot has been regarded as an important part of manufacturing. The existence of robot has brought unimaginable advantages.


3. Artificial Intelligenc (AI)


Artificial Intelligenc (AI) in Industry 5.0


Artificial Intelligence, referred to as AI, is a new technical science that studies and develops the theories, methods, technologies and application systems used to simulate, extend and expand human intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science. It attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produce a new intelligent machine that can respond in a similar way to human intelligence. The research in this field includes robot, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing and expert system.

Since the birth of artificial intelligence, the theory and technology have become more and more mature, and the application field has been expanding. It is conceivable that the scientific and technological products brought by artificial intelligence will be the "container" of human wisdom in the future.

Artificial intelligence can simulate the information process of human consciousness and thinking. Artificial intelligence is not human intelligence, but it can think like people and may exceed human intelligence.

Artificial intelligence technology has appeared in our daily life in the form of driverless and industrial robots. Technology in manufacturing applications may become a new standard for analyzing large amounts of data and predictive maintenance.

Artificial intelligence will have a huge impact on manufacturing and automation. For example, AI algorithms can be used to optimize the manufacturing supply chain to help companies predict market changes. Market demand can be estimated by linking location search, weather patterns, consumer behavior, political status, socio-economic and macroeconomic factors.


4. Big Data


Big Data in Industry 5.0


Research institutions have given such a definition: "big data" requires a new processing mode to have stronger decision-making power, insight and discovery power and process optimization ability to adapt to massive, high growth rate and diversified information assets.

Big data requires special technologies to effectively handle a large amount of data over time. Technologies suitable for big data, including large-scale parallel processing database, data mining, distributed file system, distributed database, cloud computing platform, Internet and scalable storage system.

As far as the types and depth of products are concerned, manufacturing is the most complex industry. Enterprises that use big data in manufacturing can meet global development challenges. For example, build smart factories and use MES system for digital and unmanned management.

The way we store and capture data is changing every day, so there are new standards for sharing, transmission, update, search, visual query and information privacy. Manufacturing enterprises need to adopt more powerful technology to keep up with the pace of data update. Therefore, the emergence of enterprise resource planning (ERP) plays a vital role in the business development of enterprises.
