Abstract: |
In the competitive Supply Chain (SC) ecosystem, Information Technology is undoubtedly the driver for innovation. Modern SCs are constantly searching for competitive advantages that could enable sustain growth and market share improvement. Industry 4.0 is paving the way for the new digitalization era where interconnected devices interoperate in a 24/7 basis and provide real-time reliable data to the SC stakeholders. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a solution for thousands of digital devices that strive for e-presence in the new landscape and jointly with the use of autonomous systems highlight the added value of real-time decision-making systems in end-to-end SCs. This paper analyzes the use of autonomous vehicles in industrial facilities and integrates them to the SC ecosystem and the IoTs landscape. |
