The use case analyses the particularities of implementing and aerial monitorization system of agricultural crops with the help of drones, while concentrating on evaluating the quality of the agricultural work, as well as of the damage caused by excessive pasture. In addition, the ways in which the drones lead to a higher level of knowledge of the plants’ development in different areas of the terrain is also explored. The drones are connected to intelligent platforms and are equipped with new technologies to achieve useful utensils (3D maps). They are also able to receive information about the plants’ development, the normalized index of plants, etc.

The case focuses on a German automotive supplier (company X) specializing in remanufacturing used car clutches. The company has been engaged in remanufacturing since the 1970s, aiming to reduce waste and support a circular economy by reusing up to 95% of materials. The company is remanufacturing used automotive components, specifically torsion springs, to extend their lifecycle and reduce waste. Traditionally, shop floor workers performed manual visual inspections of these springs. However, recently, in collaboration with the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences (HSBI) and the startup company Y, a specialized AI-system was developed and installed at company X to assess the reusability of these springs. This system uses cameras and AI algorithms to automatically inspect components for wear and quality. Workers interact with the AI in a shared decision-making process, where the AI provides initial evaluations, and employees verify its assessments, particularly in uncertain cases. Over time, the AI improves its capabilities based on human feedback. The case illustrates how intelligent technologies can be successfully embedded into existing workflows while respecting the social and experiential capital of human workers. By aligning with Industry 5.0’s core pillars—human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience—it shows how AI can be a practical, scalable tool for sustainable industrial transformation. It also sets a precedent for how collaborative AI systems might be designed and implemented in similar environments.

This case study presents a decision-support tool for designing resilient and sustainable agri-food supply chains for fresh perishable products. The case focuses on a multi-product, multi-period and multi-echelon supply chain involving farms, packing plants, warehouses, distribution centres and markets. The proposed heuristic–metaheuristic approach combines constructive heuristics with simulated annealing to generate feasible supply chain configurations in reduced computational time. The tool supports strategic, tactical and operational decisions, including facility opening, crop planning, labour allocation, production, inventory, transportation and demand fulfilment. By explicitly considering shelf-life constraints, food waste, service levels and resource use, the solution contributes to more sustainable, resilient and human-centred planning in agri-food systems.

The success story is provided by an Healthcare institution dedicated to elderly persons in Saint Etienne, France: la Cité des Ainés (CDA). This is a specific context in which the organizational processes have a strong socio-human impact: both for the patients and residents at CDA and for the healthcare staff very involved in providing all the added-value services which are the heart of the activity of the institution. In such a context, innovation appears as rather specific, even when it involves very clearly the digital transition and current technological advances: on the one side, the innovation processes have to be very participative so as to embed very concretely the various human actors involved; on the other side, such organization are strongly affected by organizational innovation: the question is not to develop a new technical device, but to adapt and improve the service processes of the institution. This situation offers a very interesting context for transition towards innovation 5.0.

This case study examines the holistic reengineering of the blood supply chain of a centralized transfusion hub in Lombardy, integrating internal logistics (laboratory) and external logistics (distribution) within the Healthcare 5.0 paradigm. While the proposed configurations are not yet physically implemented, this study represents a conceptual and methodological success story, demonstrating the viability of translating theoretical Healthcare 5.0 principles into structured operational models.
Using a visual modeling methodology with the Scene2Model software, the study deconstructed the initial (AS-IS) setup - burdened by manual bottlenecks, asymmetric cognitive workloads, and rigid road-based distribution with a high environmental impact - in order to conceptually validate future (TO-BE) scenarios. The designed solutions combine digital automation (automated data download, decentralized labeling, and dynamic staff allocation) with the specialization of territorial transport providers, simulating the use of intermediate hubs, motor vehicles, and electric drones to separate routine flows from urgent ones.
The simulated framework demonstrates how stabilizing the internal laboratory can potentially optimize external routes, aiming to minimize the carbon footprint and enhance systemic resilience through structural redundancies, while mitigating operational risks. Finally, the development of hybrid skills (from technical-digital capabilities to change management) proves to be essential for future change implementation.

This case is a clear success story of digital transformation. ROSTI Poland Sp. z o.o. (Ltd) achieved this thanks to D-Tech Ltd. It is based on a detailed case analysis and includes methodological and organisational aspects, but its primary purpose is to illustrate the achieved results, applied solutions and practical lessons learned from the implementation of the flexiPROD system. The project addressed challenges related to limited transparency of shop-floor processes, fragmented production data and the need to improve operational resilience, sustainability and decision-making capabilities.
The implemented solution integrated MES, CMMS and IIoT functionalities with existing ERP and Human Resource systems. This created a coherent, real-time data environment supporting production, maintenance and management activities. The implementation followed an iterative, risk-aware and human-centred approach, with strong involvement of end users throughout the process. The case demonstrates how digital systems can act as organisational mechanisms. These enable resilience, learning and continuous improvement. This is in line with the principles of Industry 5.0.
