Download or read book Industry 5 0 and Paradigm Shift Emerging Challenges written by Namit Gupta and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2023-01-23 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industry 5.0 is the successor of the 'Industry 4.0' concept which employed high technology in the manufacturing industry. Industry 5.0 is a new idea that adds a human touch to the work of robots and smart machines. The basic idea of humans and machines working together is to increase efficiency and effectivity, like the 'Internet of things' (loT). It aims to merge the increasing cognitive computing abilities of the robots with the intelligence and resourcefulness of the humans. The progress of Industry 5.0 is inevitable. As the technology grows more each day, we find ways to make our work simpler. The development of such technologies to make the world more efficient requires its manufacturers, i.e., humans who collaborate with these machines and technologies. Humans are indispensable resources, as what a machine can do is limited. And with all these efficiencies we have come so far, there is no path leading us back. With adoption of new concepts comes a paradigm shift as development continues and we move from Industry 4.0 which speaks of the "future of production," its primary purpose continues to be achieving seamless connectivity between machines and IT systems for higher productivity and efficiencies across the value chain. Overall, it focuses mainly on traditional financial and operational KPIs. Whereas Industry 5.0 gives a human touch to the concept of 4.0 keeping in mind the well-being of the environment and society, making the machines and humans work together on a path of 'Green Future'. Industry 5.0 has the balance of both humans and technologies which benefits the ecosystem, with discovery of new energy sources and renewable resources, helping in a sustainable working environment. It can be used to reduce harmful residue caused due to manufacturing processes and recycle rare materials. Taking this theme, the multidisciplinary congress on "Industry 5.0 and Paradigm Shift: Emerging Challenges" will highlight research challenges and open issues that should be further developed to realize Industry 5.0.

Download or read book Tractors written by Nick Baldwin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-20 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steam, and then cumbersome motor, tractors existed in small numbers before 1914, after which the need to produce more foods using less horse and man power saw the origins of the machine we know today. Thanks to mass production, Ford brought the price down to suit average farmers, and in the 1920s to 1940s numerous rivals brought in such novelties as diesel engines, pneumatic tyres, hydraulic implement lifts and even cost-effective all-wheel drive and weather protection. After the Second World-War, a strong new indigenous tractor industry was led by Ferguson, David Brown, Nuffield and Ford. This book highlights these developments and goes on to show the dramatic improvements of the 1950s and 1960s.
