Abstract
The contribution presents methodological arrangement of internal logistics in the context of Industry 4.0. In addition, it discusses the innovativeness level of solutions suggested as belonging to the area of internal logistics interests in the context of Industry 4.0. Numerous concepts related to Industry 4.0 in the area of internal logistics were treated with attention in the contribution in order to take care of subjectively identified advantages and disadvantages of all the presented solutions. One of the research questions of this contribution is as follows. The chapter’s authors attempt to answer the research question to what extent the current considerations regarding Industry 4.0 are applied to date in internal logistics, warehouses, logistics centres and other facilities of such kind. Some researchers tend to consider that the observed and announced transformation of industry is not so much a revolution rather than the evolution of existing solutions. Therefore, another research question is stated in the contribution: is Industry 4.0 truly a revolution? In order to acquire sufficient information, a considerable significant number of foreign literature sources and a few Polish, Slovak and German publications were considered. In other words, desk–research methodology was used for this contribution. In the contribution, the authors decided to use the qualitative approach, aiming at full resource of information available in Polish, Slovak and English sources, both scientific (scientific papers, monographs) and popular ones (in particular, press reports about the so-called technological novelties applied in facilities of internal logistics and subjected to the fourth industrial revolution as Industry 4.0 is being called informally).
