2025 marks the 79th year of Sutherland in business, and we anticipate exciting times ahead for our clients. For over a decade, we have been at the forefront in designing presses and I-PRESS controls for Industry 5.0.
‍
Like all market evolutions, the meaning and framework of the current manufacturing evolution—Industry 5.0—are constantly changing. At its core, Industry 5.0 is considered the next global industrial revolution, moving manufacturers beyond the digitalization era of Industry 4.0 to a space where organizations leverage data and information for good.
While much of this "good" translates into business performance, Industry 5.0 also sets principles on environmental, social, and governance issues guiding how a business is managed, how we treat those who keep it running, and how the business impacts the rest of the world. (See Chart Below).
