The Human in the Smart Factory Human-in-The-Loop: A Human-centered Approach to Knowledge Augmentation with Machine Learning

The seamless merging of the physical and digital worlds, has led to an unprecedented increase in the speed at which automation can be introduced into production. can be introduced. Smart manufacturing systems will, at a fundamental level, enable the use of artificial intelligence (AI) through machine learning (ML). This involves the alignment of information flows through suitable interfaces to humans is essential. is indispensable. This human-centered approach is referred to as Industry 5.0 (I5.0) or the human-centered approach (HCA) [1, 2]. The prioritization of people can be achieved prioritization can be achieved by placing the process-related interests of people at the at the center of production monitoring and relying on technologies that help employees by developing knowledge and skills, initiate optimizations. © 2024 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston, Germany.
