Case Study of Intralogistics in The Framework of Logistics 4.0

Abstract

Industry 4.0 has led to changes that have reduced the labor force and creat-ed production environments where machines that bring together information technology and industry communicate with each other. Logistics 4.0, which emerged with Industry 4.0, paved the way for improvement in logistics process-es. Using information technologies in logistics reduces the labor force costs of enterprises by leading all stages of activities to digitalization. It can be possible to increase customer satisfaction and product quality by reducing human fail-ures with digitalization. This study was performed by planning intralogistics us-ing Logistics 4.0 technological tools, and also the problem of a manufacturing company was elaborated as a case study. This study was carried out by quanti-tative data analysis in the case study and a large-scale production company in Turkey providing the intralogistics of the materials from the supplier in the en-trance warehouse with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technologies. This paper presents the research, development, and application of logistics 4.0 in the intralogistics process from the entrance warehouse to the production lines. The aim of the case study was provided to information about the tech-nologies available within the scope of Logistics 4.0 and contribute to the litera-ture and industry with solution suggestions depending on the result of the appli-cation study within the logistics operations. As a result, depending on the case study, it was determined that Logistics 4.0 improved intralogistics operations costs by 13.37%.
