Industry 4.0 paradigm has focused the attention on information and communication technologies, requiring greater connectivity between physical devices. A good effect of this is the significant productivity enhancement in all its aspects such as reduction of raw material consumption and of production times.

Abstract
Industry 4.0 paradigm has focused the attention on information and communication technologies, requiring greater connectivity between physical devices. A good effect of this is the significant productivity enhancement in all its aspects such as reduction of raw material consumption and of production times. But production systems are made of an interaction between human and machines, as the recent literature on Industry 5.0 recalled, trying to reset the role of human actor in the collaboration process in manufacturing. The basic idea is that embracing the Industry 5.0 paradigm, the intelligent cooperation of human operator with properly designed machines may allow an higher efficiency and precision in manufacturing processes based on I4.0. This paper, starting from a widespread review of all the available assessment models about sustainability and smartness (now turning into “digitainability”), encompassing also maturity models and standards formally proposes a metamodel to support assessment model design and implementation. The metamodel allows to set all the necessary dimensions required for a comprehensive view of any manufacturing reality aimed to move toward a Industry 5.0 paradigm.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
