Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applications in Logistics

Abstract

The logistics sector in Turkey and the world is growing and the sector's potential is better understood over time. It is known that the logistics sector is very open to development and has to keep up with the innovations that occur with technology. Businesses are trying to be successful in competition by keeping up with these innovations. Industry 4.0 has influenced the sectors where competition is at the forefront, especially logistics. In recent studies, it has been observed that a significant increase in the use of artificial intelligence techniques. As a result of the use of artificial intelligence in the logistics sector, changes in operations and dynamics have started to occur. Artificial intelligence models the physiological and neurological structure of human intelligence with the help of various technologies and transfers them to machines. Options such as driverless vehicles emerging with artificial intelligence, robots used in storage and shelves, and the easy use of big data in the system ensure that the errors in the logistics sector are minimized and convenience is provided in this way. Thanks to the use of artificial intelligence in the logistics sector, businesses create more efficient jobs. In this study, it is aimed to examine the artificial intelligence and machine learning applications used in the logistics industry with a broad perspective. In the study, firstly, the concepts of artificial intelligence and machine learning are explained and then, the concepts of industry and logistics are mentioned and the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning used in logistics are included. It is seen that artificial intelligence improves day by day and facilitates logistics processes in global logistics and supply chain management.

Yapay Zeka ve Makine Öğrenmesi Tekniklerinin Lojistik Sektöründe Kullanımı

Abstract

Lojistik sektörü dünyada ve Türkiye’de giderek büyümekte ve sektörün potansiyeli zamanla daha iyi anlaşılmaktadır. Lojistik sektörünün gelişime oldukça açık olduğu, teknoloji ile ortaya çıkan yeniliklere ayak uydurmak zorunda olduğu bilinmektedir. İşletmeler bu yeniliklere ayak uydurarak, rekabette başarılı olmaya çalışmaktadır. Endüstri 4.0 özellikle lojistik gibi rekabetin ön planda olduğu sektörleri etkisi altına almıştır. Yapılan son araştırmalarda yapay zeka tekniklerinin kullanımında büyük oranda artış olduğu görülmektedir. Yapay zekanın lojistik sektöründe kullanılması sonucunda özellikle işleyiş ve dinamiklerde değişiklikler oluşmaya başlamıştır. Yapay zeka, insan zekasının fizyolojik ve nörolojik yapısını çeşitli teknolojiler yardımı ile modelleyerek makinelere aktarmaktadır. Yapay zeka ile birlikte ortaya çıkan sürücüsüz araçlar, depolama ve raflarda kullanılan robotlar, sistem içerisinde büyük verilerin rahatlıkla kullanılması gibi seçenekler lojistik sektöründeki hataların en aza indirgenmesini sağlamaktadır. Lojistik sektöründe yapay zeka kullanımı sayesinde işletmeler daha verimli işler ortaya koymaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışmada, lojistik sektöründe kullanılan yapay zeka ve makine öğrenmesi uygulamalarının geniş bir perspektif ile incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada önce yapay zeka ve makine öğrenimi kavramları açıklanmış ardından endüstri ve lojistik kavramlarına değinilerek lojistikte kullanılan yapay zeka ve makine öğrenmesi uygulamalarına yer verilmiştir. Küresel lojistik ve tedarik zinciri yönetimi konusunda yapay zekanın günden güne kendini geliştirdiği ve lojistik süreçleri kolaylaştırdığı görülmektedir.
