The role of the Industry 4.0 technologies for Industry 5.0 development in small and medium enterprises
研究了中小企业采用的工业4.0技术如何促进工业5.0发展，识别出物联网、大数据分析和人工智能等关键技术的优先顺序，帮助管理者在资源有限时制定技术实施路线图。
This paper aims to identify how Industry 4.0 technologies adopted by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) contribute to the development of Industry 5.0. It also identifies which technologies are most suitable and should be prioritised for implementation. Correspondence Analysis was used to map the alignment between specific technologies and the Industry 5.0 pillars. The Fuzzy-DEMATEL method was also applied to identify and prioritise the most prominent and influential technologies. The results show a strong alignment of IoT, Big Data analytics, and AI with the Sustainability pillar, while augmented reality, automation, and mobile technologies align more with Human-centricity. The Fuzzy-DEMATEL analysis identifies AI and IoT as the primary ‘cause’ technologies, holding the highest influence and prominence. This research offers novel insights to guide strategic technology adoption in resource-constrained environments, making theoretical and practical contributions. Theoretically, the study provides valuable insights into which technologies managers should align with their strategic objectives. For practical application, the findings offer significant support to managers, enabling them to create a clear roadmap for implementation and to prioritise technologies most aligned with their specific goals for the Industry 5.0 pillars. This insight helps managers avoid wasting valuable financial and time resources on non-priority technologies.
