Industry 5.0 combines human expertise with intelligent machines, AI-powered machine vision and sustainable manufacturing processes. At its core is the ergonomic assembly workstation, where digital assistance systems support employees without replacing their experience, judgement or decision-making skills.
planistar develops customised LED lighting solutions for assembly workstations equipped with cameras, sensors and process-monitoring systems. Our luminaires provide excellent visual conditions for employees while ensuring stable, uniform illumination for industrial machine vision applications.
Industry 5.0 builds on the technologies and principles of Industry 4.0. While Industry 4.0 primarily focuses on automation, digitalisation, connected machinery and data-driven manufacturing, Industry 5.0 places greater emphasis on people and their role within modern production environments.
The fundamental principle is:
Industry 5.0 combines people, intelligent technology and sustainability within an integrated manufacturing concept.
Technology supports employees in their daily work. Intelligent systems enhance human capabilities while helping to create safer, more ergonomic and productive working conditions.
Machines and collaborative robots, also known as cobots, perform repetitive, physically demanding or hazardous tasks. Employees remain responsible for decision-making, quality assessment and complex assembly operations.
Industry 5.0 promotes resource-efficient manufacturing, energy efficiency, durable components and circular-economy principles.
Flexible production systems can respond more quickly to disruptions, changing production volumes and supply-chain challenges.
Industry 5.0 enables manufacturers to produce customised products and variants efficiently without losing the benefits of modern series production.
Industry 4.0 focuses on automation, digitalisation, smart factories, connected machinery and data-driven production.
Industry 5.0 expands this approach by adding human-centricity, sustainability, resilience and closer collaboration between people and intelligent machines.
In short, Industry 5.0 is not simply about introducing more technology. It is about creating better cooperation between people and technology—with the goal of achieving ergonomic, sustainable and adaptable manufacturing.
At assembly workstations equipped with cameras and sensors, the lighting must meet both the ergonomic needs of employees and the technical requirements of industrial machine vision.
For employees, the focus is on low-glare, flicker-free, high-quality light and a uniformly illuminated working area. Machine vision systems also require stable, diffuse and reproducible illumination.
A carefully designed LED lighting solution combines workplace ergonomics, process reliability and dependable quality control.
An ergonomic lighting solution for precision assembly and quality inspection provides:
Cameras, sensors and AI-powered inspection systems particularly benefit from:
Depending on the application, our assembly workstation luminaires can be equipped with:
An employee assembles components at a height-adjustable workstation. A low-glare LED workstation luminaire with excellent colour rendering—such as CRI 97—and a colour temperature of 5,000 K provides precise visibility and helps reduce eye strain.
At the same time, an AI-powered machine vision system checks the position and completeness of the components. Errors or deviations are detected in real time and immediately displayed to the employee. Cameras and sensors are integrated directly into the lighting solution or workstation structure.
The lighting can adapt to different assembly and inspection tasks. Cobots can also assist with material handling or repetitive operations. The result is an efficient, ergonomic and human-centred Industry 5.0 assembly workstation.
For assembly monitoring, AI-assisted process guidance and industrial machine vision, standard luminaires are often unable to meet all application requirements. Camera position, sensor technology, working distance, component surface, illuminance and inspection method vary from one application to another.
planistar therefore develops customised LED luminaires for assembly workstations, machine vision systems and camera-based quality inspection.
Our extensive experience, modular product system and wide range of standard luminaires enable us to develop a suitable lighting solution quickly. Since both development and production take place in-house, we can also manufacture customised luminaires for assembly monitoring with short lead times.
Are you planning an assembly workstation with cameras, sensors, AI-powered process monitoring or industrial machine vision? Together, we will develop a lighting solution tailored to your application and technical requirements.

A modern Industry 5.0 workstation combines ergonomics, intelligent machine vision, digital assistance systems, flexible automation and optimised LED lighting.
Cobots can perform monotonous, repetitive or physically demanding tasks. Employees remain responsible for decisions, processes and quality. Digital assistance systems support their work without replacing their expertise.
Whenever we revise or develop a product range, sustainability is an integral part of the process. Even small improvements can make a significant difference when combined.
Our approach covers the entire product lifecycle—from reducing energy and resource consumption and carefully selecting materials to packaging, recycling and disposal.
AI-assisted assembly workstations are still at an early stage within Industry 5.0. However, demand for assembly monitoring, digital process guidance and camera-based quality control continues to grow. Our experience in machine vision, workstation lighting and standardised lighting enables us to develop customised, practical solutions.
Cameras and AI monitor individual assembly steps in real time. Incorrect, missing or improperly positioned components can be identified and corrected directly at the workstation.
Monitors, signal spotlights and pick-to-light or put-to-light systems guide employees through the assembly process step by step. This reduces errors and supports frequently changing or high-variant assembly tasks.
Machine vision systems verify the completeness, position and orientation of components. Images and inspection data can be linked to a serial number or production order and stored as proof of quality.
Assembly times, interruptions and recurring errors can be analysed. This enables weaknesses, bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement to be identified at an early stage.
Brightness and lighting characteristics can be adjusted automatically to suit the current assembly or inspection task. Optimised illumination improves image quality, simplifies analysis and can reduce the energy and computing requirements of the overall system.
Every application places different demands on luminaires, cameras and sensors. planistar develops customised lighting solutions with camera openings, sensor cut-outs, signal spotlights and application-specific dimensions.
