Virtualia - Presenting Hybrid Testing 4-2-5 lab 5.0 - intelligent digitization in testing processes

IRS together with Electrolux is participating by presenting its own research project at the event Virtualia - Part 2 | AI & Human-CenteredTechnologies, which will be held on Tuesday, October 29, 2025,at theBotanical Garden and Biodiversity Garden of the University ofPadova from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.. The project presented is called Hybrid Testing 4-2-5 and aims to create an intelligent and digitally ergonomic work environment, improving efficiency and operational well-being. It aims to facilitate the transition from the human-machine interaction of Industry 4.0 to that of Industry 5.0, which is more collaborative and human-centered. It introduces cyber-physical systems, mobile/wearable technologies and intuitive interfaces based on touch and voice commands, supported by artificial intelligence where needed. The application case concerns an Electrolux R&D laboratory, where intelligent testing workstations were developed. The results obtained are scalable and applicable to other laboratories and workstations in the manufacturing sector.
