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 intralogistics 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.
