Due to the global uncertainty caused by social problems such as COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, companies have opted for the use of emerging technologies, to produce more with fewer resources and thus maintain their productivity; that is why the market for wearable artificial intelligence (AI) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has grown exponentially. In the last decade, maintenance 4.0 has achieved best practices due to the appearance of emerging technologies that improve productivity. However, some social trends seek to explore the interaction of AI with human beings to solve these problems, such as Society 5.0 and Industry 5.0. The research question is: could a human-in-the-loop-based maintenance framework improve the resilience of physical assets? This work helps to answer this question through the following contributions: first, a search for research gaps in maintenance; second, a scoping literature review of the research question; third, the definition, characteristics, and the control cycle of Maintenance 5.0 framework; fourth, the maintenance worker 5.0 definition and characteristics; fifth, two proposals for the calculation of resilient maintenance; and finally, Maintenance 5.0 is validated through a simulation in which the use of the worker in the loop improves the resilience of an Industrial Wireless Sensor Network (IWSN).
The emergence of Industry 4.0 technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), has prompted a reconsideration of methodologies for network security as well as reducing operation and maintenance costs, especially at the physical layer, where the energy consumption plays an important role. This article demonstrates through simulations and experiments that, while the cooperative scheme is more efficient when a WSN is at normal operating conditions, the collaborative scheme offers more enhanced protection against the aggressiveness of jamming in the performance metrics, thus making it safer, reducing operation and maintenance costs and laying the foundations for jamming mitigation. This document additionally offers an algorithm to detect jamming in real time. Firstly, it examines the characteristics and damages caused by the type of aggressor. Secondly, it reflects on the natural immunity of the WSN (which depends on its node density and a cooperative or collaborative configuration). Finally, it considers the performance metrics, especially those that impact energy consumption during transmission.
