Our understanding of the broader concepts of employment, productivity and efficiency in an industrial setting has been radically reshaped by recent technological breakthroughs, which have steadily permeated through every single operational layer at the workplace. The growing importance of digitalisation, combined with the ramifications of the Covid-19 pandemic have, in turn, made it apparent that it is time to rethink the demand for flexibilization, collaboration and the desire for fulfilment in the context of workers’ expectations.
SEISMEC has arrived to usher in a brand new Industry 5.0 framework that strikes the right balance between disruptive technology and human-centricity: the SEISMEC Shift. This paradigm shift operates on the premise that we shouldn’t need to compromise between workers’ empowerment and industrial competitiveness. Both are complementary forces that can only be balanced through fair and ethical digital practices and a careful exploration of key empowerment factors – what we call the CAPS framework.
At its very core, SEISMEC is a mosaic of piloting experiences that come together through the unconventional lens of social sciences and humanities. Rather than following a traditional tool-driven, purely technical perspective, SEISMEC believes in a bidirectional approach that resonates with the European values of sustainability, human-centricity and resilience, which are all inextricably tied into the concept of Industry 5.0.
