In the rapidly evolving landscape of advanced manufacturing, the rise of Industry 5.0 has steered a significant paradigm shift. While its predecessor, Industry 4.0, centered on automation and digitalization, Industry 5.0 takes a unique stance, emphasizing the delicate equilibrium between human expertise and cutting-edge technologies. This transformative approach is making waves across diverse sectors, heralding a new era in manufacturing. Notably, the Industry 5.0 market is on a trajectory of substantial growth, with projections indicating a value of approximately USD 658.4 billion by 2032, a significant leap from USD 131.13 billion in 2022, boasting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18% throughout the forecast period from 2022 to 2032.
At the forefront of this transformative wave stands Deep Manishkumar Dave, a Digital Transformation Leader committed to the emerging technologies. Deep has an impressive track record, holding memberships in esteemed organizations such as the Intelligent Automation Congress (IAC) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). With the experience as an Industrial IoT Specialist at LTIMindtree, Deep has played an instrumental role in propelling digital transformation and Industrial IoT initiatives within the manufacturing sector.
Deep states that the scope of Industry 5.0 extends beyond the industrial sector and is relevant to virtually every field and organization. Unlike Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0’s applicability is notably broader. Therefore, when discussing its implications for business strategy, a comprehensive perspective that encompasses all industries is essential. Deep highlighted the European Commission’s delineation of Industry 5.0, comprising three key pillars: human-centric, resilient, and sustainable. He underlined that these pillars hold substantial implications for shaping effective business strategies across various sectors.
Deep draws attention to three fundamental pillars at the core of this transformative movement. Firstly, Industry 5.0 emphasizes adopting sustainable business practices that have a positive impact on the environment, as reflected in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) of People, Planet, and Profit. Secondly, it aims to establish a resilient supply chain capable of handling challenges, such as those experienced during global crises, by implementing adaptable and flexible processes to ensure stability. Lastly, Industry 5.0 advocates for a human-centered approach, where technology aligns with the workforce’s needs, recognizing that humans possess unique problem-solving abilities that complement machines.
Deep provides further insights into these pillars in his paper titled “Advancing Resilience and Agility in Manufacturing through Industry 5.0: A Review of Digitization, Automation, and Advanced Analytics” published in the International Journal of New Technology and Research (IJNTR).
Deep’s impact extends beyond research and theory; he has played a pivotal role in several groundbreaking projects addressing critical industry challenges. One noteworthy project focuses on Asset Tracking in Medical Device Manufacturing, with impressive results. Post-implementation, the time required to identify and retrieve product totes decreased by an estimated 11%, streamlining subsequent production stages. Additionally, the new tracking system significantly reduced product loss by nearly 8%, averting potential financial losses and ensuring consistent compliance with stringent regulatory standards. Misplacements, once a frequent issue, saw a substantial reduction, with an impressive 10% decrease in instances of misplaced or inaccurately categorized products. This project’s impact went beyond operational improvements, directly benefiting patients and manufacturing efficiency. The ripple effect of the solution expedited overall production cycles, resulting in medical devices reaching end-users, including patients, in a more timely manner, thereby reducing waiting times by an estimated 9%.
However, Deep’s contributions extend beyond his professional roles. He has become a trusted reviewer for respected journals, meticulously evaluating technical difficulty, research methodology, novelty of ideas, and alignment with the field. His dedication to offering constructive feedback that encompasses theoretical depth, methodological robustness, technical nuances, and presentation quality underscores his unwavering enthusiasm for emerging technologies and their pivotal role in fostering innovation.
Deep has not only contributed to the field of Industry 5.0 through his principles and projects but has also shared his insights in various research articles. His work includes publications such as “Advancing Medical Device Manufacturing: The Convergence of Edge Computing and Industry 5.0” and “Augmented Intelligence: Human-AI Collaboration in the Era of Digital Transformation,” both featured in the International Journal of Engineering Applied Sciences and Technology (IJEAST). Additionally, Dave’s article titled “Revolutionizing Medical Device Implants: Unleashing the Power of Industry 5.0” published in the International Journal of Computer Trends and Technology (IJCTT) explores the transformative potential of Industry 5.0 in the medical device implant production industry. It delves into the benefits of creating a highly automated and networked production environment through the integration of cyber-physical systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things.
Furthermore, Deep’s dedication to mentoring and training junior Industrial IoT engineers showcases his commitment to nurturing talent. His efforts extend beyond imparting technical knowledge; they aim to shape future leaders equipped with problem-solving skills and a passion for innovation.
Deep’s contributions to digital transformation and Industry 5.0 have garnered well-deserved recognition. He has been acknowledged as a Top Community Voice in Digital Transformation and Industrial Automation on LinkedIn, received the Young Achievers Award (Under 30) from the Indian Achievers’ Forum, and was honored with the International Achievers’ Award at the Eurasian Business Summit in London on 24th November 2023, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the field of digital transformation. His journey serves as a testament to the transformative potential of Industry 5.0 and the unwavering dedication of individuals like Deep in propelling innovation and excellence in manufacturing.

Lastly, Deep envisions a future where the Industry 5.0 concept gains significant momentum. While many businesses still operate in the realm of Industry 4.0 or earlier, the shift towards Industry 5.0 is on the horizon. The European Union’s emphasis on sustainability, resilience, and human-centricity in its Industry 5.0 framework provides a clear path forward. Deep believes that this vision of progress will lead to positive changes in the coming years. As organizations and societies embrace these principles, a brighter and more innovative digital transformation landscape emerges, inspiring motivation and progress.
