A Smart Manufacturing Ecosystem for Industry 5.0 using Cloud-based Collaborative Learning at the Edge.

In the modern manufacturing industry, collaborative architectures are growing in popularity. We propose an Industry 5.0 value-driven manufacturing process automation ecosystem in which each edge automation system is based on a local cloud and has a service-oriented architecture. Additionally, we integrate cloud-based collaborative learning (CCL) across building energy management, logistic robot management, production line management, and human worker Aide local clouds to facilitate shared learning and collaborate in generating manufacturing workflows. Consequently, the workflow management system generates the most effective and Industry 5.0-driven workflow recipes. In addition to managing energy for a sustainable climate and executing a cost-effective, optimized, and resilient manufacturing process, this work ensures the well-being of human workers. This work has significant implications for future work, as the ecosystem can be deployed and tested for any industrial use case.
