Social, societal and environmental aspects have been integrated in the Industry 4.0 concepts implementation and allow to obtain a human-centered manufacturing, more resilient and sustainable, that has been defined by the European commission as the Industry 5.0.

The concepts and methodology developed in this chapter are based on this objective. The idea in this c contrary to the proposition presented in [44] as the "automation of complex business and production processes with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), while employees undertake monitoring activities instead of being actively involved in those processes" is to let the operators in processes at the center of the digital transformation.
