Current discourses emphasise that Industry 5.0 will present a more ethical vision, integrating sustainability, environment, and social aspects. In Industry 5.0, rather than basing business strategy on a logic of production performance, humans should be the driving force behind factory competitiveness. In this approach, taking the environment into account has become a stake. New waste recovery methods are possible, as well as using renewable energies or integrating sensors to reduce energy consumption. But how should these goals be achieved? How are such technical solutions to be developed and implemented so that they are effectively placed at the service of such goals? What is being considered in terms of the social transformations that are needed to ensure that effectiveness? There seems to be an underlying belief that technological solutions will put in motion the necessary transformations at all levels or that other aspects of that transformation are of minor importance and will not compromise the effectiveness of Industry 5.0 vision. History has shown countless times that this is unrealistic and that more interdisciplinary and integrated approaches are needed. Perhaps even more so than at any other previous era of transformation, given the depth and breadth of the foreseeable impacts. The technical approaches that we have been able to listen to give no information on these issues. Our profession has a lot to say and do about this. The presentation will show the framework within which we can act and provide an illustrated example of the necessity of including human functioning in design.
