REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Within the framework of Industry 5.0, the convergence of Edge Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industrial processes with the potential to increase productivity, efficiency, and creativity.A paradigm change in data processing known as "edge computing" entails decentralized analytics and computation near data sources to reduce latency and facilitate real-time decision-making.Conversely, artificial intelligence (AI), which includes machine learning, neural networks, and deep learning, has the ability to convert data into meaningful insights, which makes it an effective tool for process optimization, autonomous control, and predictive maintenance.Although there hasn't been much empirical study, the nexus of Edge Computing and AI indicates a natural progression in the industrial environment.Although there are many theoretical frameworks available, there are few real-world examples of how these technologies together will affect Industry 5.0.In order to close this gap, this study conducts an experimental evaluation to investigate the real-world advantages and difficulties of combining Edge Computing with AI in the industrial setting.Understanding the potential for disruption and transformation of these technologies is crucial as companies navigate the challenging shift toward Industry 5.0.This may be done via empirical investigation of these technologies.This paper provides context for our experimental study, clarifying the theoretical foundations and emphasizing the need for empirical evidence to support the possible advances in Industry 5.0 that might result from the combination of AI and Edge Computing.

4 Industrial performance measurements include task completion times, mistake rates, and qualitative selfevaluation of performance.These tasks were created to mimic real-world settings.

Experimental Methodology
1 A thorough introduction session was given to the participants, including the goals of the research, the activities that needed to be completed, and how to use Edge Computing and AI technologies.2 Under each of the three situations, participants completed a series of industrial activities that were given at random to reduce the effects of tiredness or learning.Enough rest intervals were included to reduce any possible spillover effects.3 For every situation, productivity metrics, Edge Computing and AI system utilization data, and other relevant data were gathered.4 After all requirements were fulfilled, participants answered surveys and gave comments about their usage of the technology.
A comprehensive statistical analysis was performed on the experiment's data, which included participant comments, productivity metrics, and the use of Edge Computing and AI.While inferential statistical tests like ANOVA and paired t-tests were used to compare conditions and evaluate the effect of Edge Computing and AI on industrial performance, descriptive statistics were used to describe the results.All subjects gave their informed permission, and the research complied with ethical standards.To safeguard participants' security and privacy, data was anonymised and participant anonymity was maintained throughout the investigation.A thorough empirical examination of the effects of Edge Computing and AI on industrial performance within the context of Industry 5.0 was made possible by this methodological methodology.The methodical gathering and evaluation of data was intended to provide light on the usefulness of these technologies and direct their incorporation into actual industrial environments.The demographics of the participants show a varied sample with a range of age, gender, educational attainment, and work experience.Because of this variety, the study's conclusions are more broadly applicable and provide a thorough picture of the workforce in the context of Industry 5.0.Participants in the Edge Computing condition showed an average usage time of 25.2 hours.Based on participant response, Edge Computing was found to be very satisfactory by users, with an 88% satisfaction rating.Interestingly, job completion durations decreased by an average of 18% when Edge Computing was used as opposed to the control condition.This outcome demonstrates how well Edge Computing works in an industrial setting to improve real-time data processing and lower latency.The average amount of time spent using AI-driven features by participants in the AI integration condition was 4.9 hours.Participants gave AI favorable comments, grading its usefulness at 86%.When compared to the control condition, the integration of AI showed a 12% reduction in job completion times and a 7% drop in mistake rates.

These results demonstrate how AI may significantly autonomous decision-making and data interpretation, which in turn improves overall performance [28]- [32].The influence of AI integration and Edge Computing on job execution is reflected in the industrial performance measurements.The average baseline performance score in the control condition was 62. Performance improved to an average score of 72 in the Edge Computing condition, a noteworthy 16% improvement.Participants performed best in the Edge Computing and AI condition, with an average score of 75, showing a significant 21% improvement.These results highlight the complementary nature of Edge Computing and AI, demonstrating how, in the context of Industry 5.0, they may propel improvements in industrial efficiency and performance.The findings imply that AI and Edge Computing technologies have a major influence on industrial performance whether used alone or in combination.Task completion is accelerated by edge computing's reduction of latency and improvement of realtime data processing.Contrarily, artificial intelligence (AI) improves data interpretation and facilitates independent decision-making, which lowers mistake rates and improves job performance.The most notable performance gains are shown when Edge Computing and AI are integrated, underscoring the revolutionary potential of these technologies in Industry 5.0.This research provides useful information to businesses looking to use AI and Edge Computing to boost efficiency, encourage creativity, and improve productivity in the quickly changing Industry 5.0 environment.
