Every industrial revolution focuses on the interaction of different instruments and their creators, starting with the steam engine and ending with artificial intelligence. We can consider this as a period of gradual automation. In the context of constant challenges in the supply chain, limited by energy and changing consumer requirements, such a mix of human creativity and the perspectives that machines offer may lead us to more sustainable workplaces, reduced production costs, and achieving more sustainable business models. Automation will depend heavily on how humans and intelligent machines will work together to support sustainable development, which has contributed to the emergence of what is now called the fifth industrial revolution.
