This article examines the evolution from the Smart Factory to the Smart Enterprise within the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0. It focuses on the shift from a predominantly technology-driven transformation towards a broader model based on the integration of digitalization, human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. From this perspective, the study explores the impact of artificial intelligence, automation, and digital technologies on work organization and emerging skills requirements. Drawing on the experience of the European DigiWork project, the paper ultimately emphasizes the need for structured cooperation between universities and businesses to support digital transformation and prepare workers and organizations for the challenges of Industry 5.0.
Il contributo analizza l’evoluzione dalla Smart Factory alla Smart Enterprise nel quadro della transizione da Industria 4.0 a Industria 5.0. L’attenzione si concentra sul passaggio da una trasformazione prevalentemente tecnologica a un modello più ampio, fondato sull’integrazione tra digitalizzazione, centralità della persona, sostenibilità e resilienza. In tale prospettiva, lo studio esamina l’impatto dell’intelligenza artificiale, dell’automazione e delle tecnologie digitali sull’organizzazione del lavoro e sui fabbisogni professionali. Alla luce dell’esperienza del progetto europeo DigiWork, il contributo evidenzia infine la necessità di una collaborazione strutturale tra università e imprese per accompagnare la trasformazione digitale e preparare lavoratori e organizzazioni alle sfide di Industria 5.0.
