Contemporary Challenges and Practices in Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Internet of Things (IOT) Applications in Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Mehmet Ali ErtürkWireless connectivity has revolutionized all industries today by adopting the Internet of Things (IoT) technology stack. IoT enables any physical entity to be connected to the Internet and perform intelligent actions based on its environment. IoT-equipped sensors qualify logistics with real-time asset tracking, condition monitoring, data visualization, safety and security, fleet management, and other logistics and supply chain forecasting applications.
First, this study will provide general information about the Internet of Things architecture structure, data transmission infrastructure, and protocols. Then, the latest technological applications in logistics and supply chain management, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data digital twins, which are a part of the Internet of Things, will be discussed. The last section of this study will guide logistics and supply chain management with IoT by discussing the gaps in future projections and work areas for academia and industry.
