Abstract


This paper aims to identify the role of ergonomics in the advancement of Industry 5. 0, with the aim of attaining a human centric approach. It presents four key ergonomic principles: incorporating human operators in the design of equipment, using the knowledge of the workplace, engaging the teams in the design process, and understanding the constraints of technology. The paper proves that these principles are ergonomic and related to Industry 5. 0's human-centric approach. Thus, these principles can be used to design systems and environments that are more appropriate for people, considering their strengths and weaknesses, which is in line with Industry 5.0’s vision of designing industrial processes with people at the center.
