User-Centered Design (UCD) in Industry 4.0 is an approach that emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the end-user’s needs, preferences, and experiences when integrating advanced technologies such as IoT, AI, and data analytics into manufacturing processes. It aims to make these complex systems more intuitive, usable, and satisfying for users. UCD involves iterative phases like Research/Definition, Ideation/Prototyping, Design, Evaluation, and Iteration to ensure designs align closely with user needs.Key aspects include designing intuitive human-machine interfaces, incorporating user feedback into iterative design processes, conducting usability testing, ensuring accessibility for a diverse user base, and prioritizing safety and error prevention. UCD adapts to the evolving role of humans in automated systems by emphasizing human-in-the-loop (HITL) and human-on-the-loop (HOTL) systems, where human involvement is crucial for decision-making, supervision, and intervention.The benefits of applying UCD principles in Industry 4.0 include products that better meet user expectations, reduced risks of human error, enhanced empathy and ethical consideration in designs, and improved human-machine interactions. Ultimately, UCD ensures the advancements in Industry 4.0 are user-centric, enhancing efficiency, safety, and user satisfaction in the era of smart manufacturing.
