Industria descentralizada 5.0: contribución de blockchain a una industria sostenible, resiliente y centrada en el ser humano

Abstract

The emerging Industry 5.0 presents new challenges related

to sustainability, resilience, and worker welfare in industrial

companies; challenges that are vital for industrial and social

development in the coming years. We believe that blockchain

can help to face these challenges thanks to the trust and

security it provides in complex ecosystems such as industrial

supply chains. To verify this hypothesis, this paper performs

a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on two stages. A

first stage focused on the analysis of publications related to

blockchain and Industry 5.0. Being such a novel term and with

limited literature, we complemented the analysis with a second

stage in which we analyzed the benefits of blockchain on each

of the three pillars of Industry 5.0: sustainability, resilience,

and human-centricity. The results of the SLR confirm our initial

hypothesis and provide details on how, and to what extent,

blockchain can add value to each of the three challenges of

Industry 5.0, empowering at least nine use cases that will

contribute to those challenges.
