Abstract

Pilot lines have become a key element in modern industry. The demands for resilience, human-centricity, and sustainability in Industry 5.0, combined with technological innovations, highlight the critical role of these lines in the new industrial paradigm. Pilot lines facilitate the validation of processes and the reduction in uncertainties, making them essential tools for future industries. This article examines the current state of pilot lines and evaluates their alignment with Industry 5.0 principles. As part of this analysis, the GAMHE 5.0 pilot line is presented as a line designed with a focus on automation and robotics, meeting the requirements of the industries of the future. This article also details a series of case studies conducted on the pilot line, demonstrating its flexibility and adaptability. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of small-scale lines are analyzed within the context of Industry 5.0, emphasizing their importance in balancing technology, human factors, and sustainability.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-24:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 24.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 23 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://oa.upm.es/94814/

As a result of the publication of the work in the institutional repository, statistical usage data has been obtained that reflects its impact. In terms of dissemination, we can state that, as of
