Logistics 4.0 A Primer

Logistics 4.0 refers to the application of information and communication technologies to all aspects of the supply chain, integrating tools such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of things IoT , blockchain, robotics, and much more. The concept is closely linked to Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The primary goal of Logistics 4.0 is to coordinate and modernize supply flow. Logistics 4.0 ensures companies' entire distribution process is carried out cohesively and intelligently. Today, the logistics industry is undergoing a major transformation with the advent of Logistics 4.0, turning manual and traditional logistics processes into modern and innovative operations. Internationally, smart logistics solutions are already accepted and frequently used. Companies missing this trend, will sooner or later be outdone by their competitors. In this paper, we explore how logistics and Industry 4.0 transform traditional approaches in the supply chain. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.
