Machine Vision-Moving from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0

The Fourth Industrial Revolution combined with the advent of artificial intelligence brought significant changes to humans' daily lives. Extended research in the field has aided in both documenting and presenting these changes, giving a more general picture of this new era. This work reviews the application field of the scientific research literature on the presence of machine vision in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the changes it brought to each sector to which it contributed, determining the exact extent of its influence. Accordingly, an attempt is made to present an overview of its use in the Fifth Industrial Revolution to identify and present the changes between the two consequent periods. This work uses the PRISMA methodology and follows the form of a Scoping Review using sources from Scopus and Google Scholar. Most publications reveal the emergence of machine vision in almost every field of human life with significant influence and performance results. Undoubtedly, this review highlights the great influence and offer of machine vision in many sectors, establishing its use and searching for more ways to use it. It is also proven that machine vision systems can help industries to gain competitive advantage in terms of better product quality, higher customer satisfaction, and improved productivity.
