Our research focuses on human-centred industrial systems, including Operator 4.0/5.0 technologies, human–AI collaboration, intelligent workstations, adaptive work instructions, and physiological and behavioural human-state assessment.
We aim to measure, model, and understand the relationships between human performance, workload, stress, attention, learning, and operational efficiency in industrial environments. Our research is supported by the Industry 5.0 Laboratory, intelligent manual workstations, a wire-harness assembly demonstrator, and digital work instruction systems.
The Industry 5.0 laboratory at the University of Pannonia in Hungary demonstrates how a company can develop and apply the enabling technologies of Industry 4.0 to make a human-centered working space. The laboratory prepares students for the development and application of Industry 5.0 technologies. We integrated the indoor positioning systems with machine-, operator- and environment-based sensor data to obtain real-time information from the shop floor. The digital twin of the laboratory is developed in a discrete event simulator, which integrates the data from the shop floor and can control the production based on the simulation results. The presented framework can be utilized to design education for the generation of Industry 5.0.
