Industry 5.0 vision emphasises the importance of sustainable, human-centric and resilient European industry. Human-centered developments should be pursued alongside competitive capabilities, which encompass quality improvements and enhanced factory throughput. It is time to react this digital transformation for maintaining Finnish industries competitiveness and making manufacturing work more interesting. In order to attract skilled workforce, it is necessary to develop meaningful jobs.
