Preface
The primary goal of an advanced society, also known as Society 5.0, is to create a human-centric society in which economic progress and social problems are balanced by implementing a system that integrates cyberspace and physical space. That is, a society which aims to create a better social and economic model by adapting the technological innovations of Industry 4.0. Society 5.0 is a huge societal transformation plan that visualizes a “super-smart society.” It is a follow-up to Industry 4.0, where “information” was the predominant factor but cross-sectional knowledge sharing was not adequate, making cooperation among different sectors difficult. Also, finding the information needed from among information overflow is a tedious task, thereby limiting the scope of actions due to various factors like lack of skills, different abilities of those doing the work, etc. In Industry 4.0, data is accessed from the cloud and operations like searching, retrieving and analyzing data happen over the internet, with the burden of analysis being carried by humans. Whereas, in Society 5.0, people, systems and things will all be connected and the vast amounts of data from sensors will be collected in real time, accumulated and analyzed using artificial intelligence (AI), and the resultant analyses fed back to humans in different forms. Society 5.0 balances economic advancements with the resolution of social problems by incorporating the latest technological advancements like big data, AI, the internet of things (IoT) and robotics in all industrial and societal activities. Of course, Industry 4.0 will be a major component of Society 5.0, but is not the only component—it is also about citizens, organizations, stakeholders, academia and so on. In short, using the technological advancements to provide solutions to better the lives of humans is what an advanced society all about. Some salient features of an advanced society are problem-solving and value-adding, bringing out divergent abilities, decentralization, resilience, sustainability and environmental harmony.
A 360-degree view of the different dimensions of this revolution is presented in this book, including the various industries transforming industrial manufacturing, the security and challenges ahead and the far-reaching implications for society and the economy. The main objective of this edited book is to cover the impact that the new advanced society has on several platforms such as smart manufacturing systems, where artificial intelligence can be integrated with existing systems to make them smart, new business models and strategies, where anything and everything is possible through the internet and cloud, smart food chain systems, where food products can be delivered to any corner of the world at any time and in any situation, smart transport systems in which robots and self-driven cars are taking the lead, advances in security systems to assure people of their privacy and safety, and smart healthcare systems, where biochips can be incorporated into the human body to predict deadly diseases at early stages. Finally, it can be understood that the social reformation of Society 5.0 will lead to a society where every person leads an active and healthy life.
Included in this book are the fundamentals of Society 5.0, artificial intelligence, and the industrial internet of things, featuring their working principles and application in different sectors. In order to meet these objectives, accomplished writers in the field have contributed the 19 chapters summarized below.
– Chapter 1 discusses areas of management, cybercrime in the financial sector, human depression, and school/college closures. Moreover, the constraints posed by returning migrant workers and the remedial measures devised to overcome them, and how to build a new advanced society in a post-COVID-19 era are also discussed.
– Chapter 2 elaborates on the clients, architects, contractors, material suppliers, etc., in the construction industry. The complex supply chain of globally manufactured construction products has to be managed for the sake of meeting quality
