Industry 5.0: The Role of High-Precision GNSS in Human-Centric Industrial Evolution
As we look toward the 17th edition of the ESA/JRC International Summer School on GNSS, the conversation is shifting from purely automated systems to the synergy of human intelligence and technological precision. This transition defines the core of Industry 5.0, a paradigm that moves beyond the machine-driven efficiency of the previous era to prioritize human-robot collaboration and sustainable production.
PNT as an Enabler of Industry 5.0 In the context of Industry 5.0, Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) are no longer just tools for outdoor logistics. High-precision GNSS, integrated with 5G and indoor positioning, is becoming the backbone of "collaborative workspaces." Whether it is a technician working alongside an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) in a smart factory or the synchronization of complex logistics chains, the sub-meter accuracy provided by Galileo and augmented GNSS services is essential.
