The evolution of industrial paradigms has led to the emergence of Industry 5.0, an approach that goes beyond automation and digitalization to place human-centricity, resilience, and sustainability at its core. Unlike Industry 4.0, which primarily focused on efficiency and smart manufacturing, Industry 5.0 aims to create a more balanced interaction between technology, people, and environmental responsibility.

The successful take-up of the industry 5.0 massive questionnaire developed at a European level from September to November 2024, showed the great interest that revolves around the subject from the companies of the wood & furniture sector.

After analysing the state of the art of industry 5.0 in the furniture sector in Europe through desk research (D2.1 – Industry 5.0 in Europe), the Furn5.0 project involved companies in the sector in a survey on their level of readiness and their propensity to adopt this model.

The first document accessible to the public produced by the FURN5.0 project is “D2.1 - Cross sectorial Desk Research on Industry 5.0 in EU manufacturing”, a comprehensive report about the state of art of the transition to industry 5.0 model in the manufacturing sector in Europe.
