The global supply chain landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift. Industry 5.0, the next frontier of industrial evolution, goes beyond automation and efficiency. It represents a human-centric, sustainable, and resilient approach where technology and people collaborate to deliver smarter, greener, and more adaptive solutions.
For businesses in Sri Lanka and beyond, getting ready for Industry 5.0 is no longer a choice, it’s a must to stay competitive. By partnering with a forward-thinking third-party logistics provider like EFL 3PL Sri Lanka, which offers end-to-end third-party logistics services powered by technology in a single package, companies can be ready for what’s ahead.
