Abstract

The efficiency of manufacturing and service companies can be improved by the implementation of modern technologies. This paper presents concepts and technologies used for digitalization, i.e. smart transformation of logistics processes. Also, this paper presents an emerging concept of Industry 4.0 called Logistics 4.0. The main objective of this paper is to define the role and structure of digital logistics systems in the Industry 4.0 concept. This paper explains the improvement of logistics and supply chain processes by implementing the Logistics 4.0 concept in manufacturing and service companies. The purpose of this paper is to point out the importance of logistics digitalization and to emphasize the importance of technologies applied in the digitalization of logistics and supply chain processes used for the improvement of these processes in companies. The main contribution of this paper is the conceptual framework of Logistics 4.0. Additional contribution is six key criteria defined for the comparison of traditional logistics and Logistics 4.0. This paper is valuable for all companies that tend to implement or introduce Logistic 4.0 as a new business concept.
