The Application of Industry 4.0 on Logistics Sector: Logistics 4.0

Industry 4.0 has a significant impact on production, which is the crucial business function. Production and logistics are two distinct activities that cannot be separated from one another. The supply chain has become a critical component of boosting a company's efficiency and competitiveness. To achieve this, a knowledge-based, technology-based plan for the scope and effect of logistics technologies have to be implemented. Businesses seeking to stay up with today’s modern industry's fundamental developments confront worldwide competition. In light of this, Industry 4.0 is presently regarded as the most important idea for overcoming these production difficulties. This compilation research intends to integrate multiple methodologies in a Logistics 4.0 framework to generate a fresh image of the logistics industry's digitization progress. First, a brief history of industrial revolutions was explored, followed by a discussion of the notion of Industry 4.0 and finally the term Logistics 4.0. As digitalization relies on the collaboration of all technical bases to give the desired answer, existing solutions supporting Logistics 4.0 are outlined by technologies: additive manufacturing/3D printing, augmented reality, big data analytics, blockchain technology, cloud services, collaborative planning forecasting and replenishment, drones , electronic data interchange, e-procurement, enterprise resource planning, global positioning systems and general packet radio services (GPS and GPRS), pick-to-light and pick-by-voice, radio frequency identification, sales and operations planning, internet of things, transportation management system, warehouse management system, wearable technologies and digital twin. For scholars, this paper drew a conceptual framework based on the historical development of industrial revolutions and reviewed the literature to examine the impact and role of Industry 4.0 throughout the supply chain management. For people interested in working in the subject of Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0, the research provides a unique literary viewpoint in Turkish.
