While we are working on the integration of automation and data exchange in manufacturing in the era of Industry 4.0, extensive research and development has started on Industry 5.0 that aims to achieve sustainable collaboration between humans and machines. Flexible electronics play an important role in human-machine interface design, sustainability, and robust production processes. New studies in this line will enhance the knowledge base and pace of development. 

The advancement in Industry 5.0 in flexible electronics is targeted to develop an efficient, sustainable, and smart manufacturing environment. These developments support larger social objectives of sustainability and human well-being in addition to increasing operational efficiency.

This Collection welcomes the following topics, including but not limited to:

Human-Centric Design: Industry 5.0 aims to integrate human creativity and talents with cutting-edge technologies, such as collaborating robots (cobots), which handle dangerous and monotonous tasks while people focus on strategic and creative duties.

Sustainability: Resource management is one of the key goals towards sustainability. By enabling more effective resource usage and waste reduction, flexible electronics support sustainable production. Local production models that minimize environmental impact and optimize energy efficiency are encouraged by these technologies.

Predictive Maintenance and Smart Manufacturing: Predictive maintenance is critical for Industry 5.0 because it increases the lifespan and dependability of smart equipment. Manufacturers can predict equipment malfunctions and arrange maintenance ahead of time by integrating flexible electronics in sensors and Internet of Things devices.

Innovative Applications: Many industries, including healthcare, use flexible electronics because they make it possible to develop remote monitoring systems and smart implants.

Ethical and Value-Oriented Technology: Industry 5.0 lays a strong emphasis on the ethical application of technology. According to research, value-sensitive design concepts should be used to produce flexible electronics and related technologies that consider human values.
