THE TRANSITION TO INDUSTRY 4.0 IN ONE OF THE TURKISH LOGISTICS COMPANY
Abstract
Fourth Industry Revolution (Industry 4.0) is a new era for all sectors and a transition to smart facilities. In this paper, Industry 4.0 approach at a logistics company is examined in transportation, warehousing, loading/unloading and information service units. The purpose of this approach is to evaluate Industry 4.0 principles in these service units. In this study, a literature survey focusing on these issues is presented and the key principles to design the logistics companies in this field are determined. The fuzzy method is used to prioritize criteria, which are important for transition to Industry 4.0 such as autonomous transportation, autonomous inventory management, 3D warehouse, global resource planning, real time routing and provides to understand the transition requirements. Additionally, current applications, opportunities and suggestions for the logistics company are presented.
