INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE SOCIETY 5.0 ENVIRONMENT

Current diameters of digital transformations within the Industry 4.0 paradigm identify significant challenges in enabling individual interactions with end-users depending on user requirements. For this reason, concept of Industry 5.0 appears. It implies the relevant stakeholders (employees, users, and devices) mutual interaction to address the need for personalization and mass customization of products for end-users. Society 5.0, as the latest paradigm, focuses on placing humans at the center of technological transformation and industrial automation driven by Industry 4.0. This paper aims to use analysis and synthesis methods of currently available scientific and professional literature to explore the possibilities provided by the intensive application of information and communication networks and technologies for establishing the Society 5.0 environment. Given that there are not many scientific and professional papers in this field, this paper's results will serve as a basis for understanding this paradigm and possible impact on production processes in the future.
