Impacts of Industry 5.0 Target Dimensions on the Performance of Intra-Logistics Systems: An Assessment Framework

Even though there is a growing interest in Industry 5.0 (I5.0), holistic studies assessing the technologies and managerial approaches driving its adoption—especially regarding their impact on intra-logistics systems—are lacking. Based on Design Research Methodology, this paper proposes a framework to evaluate how technologies and approaches related to the three key dimensions of I5.0—human-centricity, resilience, and sustainability—affect the design and performance parameters of material handling, storage, and picking systems. Using methods like a Systematic Literature Review and expert surveys, the study pinpoints key technologies and approaches for I5.0, along with the primary factors influencing the design of intra-logistics systems and their operational and economic performance. An assessment framework has been developed relying on Domain Mapping Matrices. Further research will include a Delphi study with industrial experts to determine the most impactful I5.0 technologies and approaches on intra-logistics systems. In such a way, guidelines for the development of these systems can be derived.
