Introduction

The second part of the book goes deeper into practical applications and domain-specific implementations of Industry 5.0 principles, particularly in smart agriculture, next-generation manufacturing, and green computing.

Through a multidisciplinary lens, the book examines the fusion of intelligent systems, medical IoT, and sustainable practices that contribute to societal well-being. Structured across three major themes—smart farming, current-era manufacturing, and green computing—the chapters provide in-depth analyses of enabling technologies, evolving methodologies, and real-world case studies. The narrative emphasizes the co-evolution of industrial and social needs, encouraging readers to explore the transformative potential of AI, IoT, and Industry 5.0 innovations.

Key Features:

  • - Analyzes AI-driven innovations in agriculture and sustainable food systems
  • - Explores medical IoT, intelligent diagnostics, and healthcare transformation
  • - Gives an understanding of Industry 5.0's impact on predictive maintenance and smart factories
  • - Applies green computing and deep learning for sustainable development
  • - Bridges theory and practice through real-world use cases and emerging solutions


Readership

Designed for researchers, graduate students, industry professionals, and policymakers looking to develop or implement human-centric, sustainable, and technology-driven solutions in healthcare, agriculture, and manufacturing.

Foreword

I am extremely happy to write the Foreword for an edited book titled “Industry 5.0 for Society 5.0: Revolutionizing Smart Farming, Manufacturing, and Green Computing” by prestigious Bentham Science Press. This book provides readers with an in-depth exploration of Industry 5.0 and its transformative impact on society. It examines the convergence of advanced technologies and human-centric solutions, ushering in a new era of industrial and societal progress.

Unlike Industry 4.0, which focused on digitization and automation, Industry 5.0 prioritizes human-machine collaboration to enhance efficiency, creativity, and productivity. This shift toward a cooperative and intelligent manufacturing ecosystem marks a significant step in the evolution of industry and innovation.

The book also envisions Industry 5.0 as a pathway to Society 5.0—a future where education, workforce dynamics, and daily life are redefined through smart, collaborative technologies. In this vision, humans and intelligent machines work in synergy, unlocking new opportunities across industries. While Industry 5.0 holds immense potential for economic, ecological, and social advancement, its implementation presents challenges. This book highlights these complexities and emphasizes the need for ongoing research to maximize the benefits and address potential hurdles.

Key topics covered include smart farming, the transformation of manufacturing industries, and green computing.

I extend my sincere appreciation to all the editors for their valuable contributions to these timely and relevant discussions. I am confident that this book will serve as a useful resource for all stakeholders.
