A chapter in Industry 5.0, 2025, pp 505-528 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Industry 5.0 is a new chapter in the history of the industrial revolution, moving away from Industry 4.0’s automation-centric approach and towards a more human-centric paradigm. Industry 5.0 aims to balance machine precision and human inventiveness, encouraging human-machine collaboration. By maximising resource utilisation and minimising environmental effects, this change promotes sustainability initiatives and enables increased customisation in manufacturing. Near-edge computing, which decentralises data processing by bringing it closer to the data source, greatly reduces latency and improves response times in crucial industrial operations, a major enabler of this shift. Near-edge computing plays a vital role in realising the vision of Industry 5.0. In contrast to conventional cloud-based architectures, near-edge computing guarantees real-time decision-making. This chapter explores the function of near-edge computing. It emphasises how it can provide faster feedback loops, increase productivity, and promote human-machine collaboration in dynamic industrial environments. We look at real-world use scenarios to show how near-edge computing might help achieve Industry 5.0’s main objectives: energy-efficient production and real-time monitoring in smart factories. The chapter thoroughly reviews this developing topic and discusses possible research difficulties, future trends, and ethical considerations surrounding integrating near-edge technology in human-centric industrial systems.
