From Industry 4.0 to Industry 6.0

Industry 4.0 marked a revolution in industrial processes, introducing connectivity and digitalization as key elements to improve efficiency and productivity. However, technological evolution moves ever forward, and now the prospect of Industry 6.0 has emerged, a new era that promises to radically transform the way we view industrial production.
Indeed, Industry 6.0 looks to go further, introducing revolutionary concepts that will redefine how we view industrial production. Conscious of this reality, From Industry 4.0 to Industry 6.0 highlights the importance and impact this technological evolution will have on the way today's organizations develop into proactive, innovative and competitive agents.
Organized into eight chapters, From Industry 4.0 to Industry 6.0 can be used by various potential stakeholders, not only academics and researchers, but managers, engineers, practitioners and other professionals who develop their professional activity in different areas of management and engineering.
