Breezy joins the European Commission’s Industry 5.0 Community of Practice

This follows the company’s Industry 5.0 development practices after the launch of a robotic line in Poland.

Breezy has become a member of the European Commission-driven Industry 5.0 Community of Practice (CoP 5.0). This milestone follows the company’s recent launch of an AI-powered Industry 5.0 robotic line in Poland dedicated to grading and upgrading pre-owned devices.

CoP 5.0 unites a diverse range of European innovation ecosystem stakeholders to share best practices, co-create Industry 5.0 implementation strategies, and enhance collaboration. The platform supports local, regional, national, and European stakeholders in advancing Industry 5.0 principles, which Breezy actively integrates into its Polish production facility.

Industry 5.0 redefines the industry’s role—it goes beyond efficiency and productivity to emphasize its broader contribution to society. This approach places worker well-being at the center of the production process, leveraging technology to enhance prosperity while respecting environmental limits.

Andrii Kosar, CEO of Breezy, commented:

“We are pleased to join the European Commission’s Industry 5.0 Community of Practice. This platform enables stakeholders to foster synergies in the green and digital transitions, emphasizing human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience—values that are deeply embedded in Breezy’s mission. We look forward to actively contributing to CoP 5.0 objectives in 2025, particularly in co-developing the Business Case 5.0 for Sustainable Competitiveness and advancing place-based innovation through HUBS 5.0.”

Industry 5.0 complements the existing Industry 4.0 framework by integrating research and innovation into the transition toward a sustainable, human-centric, and resilient European industry—a vision fully aligned with Breezy’s priorities.

Breezy’s Industry 5.0 Approach

Human-centric manufacturing

Industry 5.0 prioritizes synergy between humans and robotic systems. At Breezy’s facility, collaborative robots, automated lines, and AI solutions handle repetitive, physically demanding tasks, allowing employees to focus on higher-value activities like repairs and customer interactions. This shift enhances both employee well-being and overall efficiency.

Breezy’s state-of-the-art grading and sorting line features 18 robotic workstations, requiring just four human operators per shift. With 24/7 AI-driven operations, the facility scales grading and upgrading up to 1,000,000 units annually, significantly improving accuracy and output.

Sustainability at the core

Industry 5.0 enterprises leverage technology to benefit society, the environment, and the circular economy. Breezy’s new production line embodies this principle by making technology more accessible, reducing electronic waste, and cutting CO2 emissions.

Building business resilience

Industry 5.0 solutions enhance business resilience. By improving operational efficiency through error-free grading, lower labor costs, and faster processing times, Breezy delivers the best prices to customers while maintaining profitability. Furthermore, by providing comprehensive product information, Breezy strengthens customer trust—addressing one of the industry’s biggest challenges.

Breezy’s Industry 5.0 Community of Practice membership reinforces its commitment to sustainability, human-centric innovation, and resilience. As the company continues integrating Industry 5.0 principles, it remains focused on pioneering solutions that benefit businesses, workers, and the environment.
