A review of logistics Internet-of-Things: Current trends and scope for future research

Adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) in logistics and supply chain management is one of the complicated process, because the different types of industries have various expectations in accepting the new technologies. According to the recent reports, it is analyzed that most of industrial organizations increasingly deployed the IoT technology for improving their supply chain management. But, the expectations of both small and large scale industries are differ in adopting the new technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Electronic Product Code (EPC) global network. Hence, this work intends to analyze the major impacts of adopting the IoT technology with the supply chain management systems of organizations. For this purpose, a comprehensive survey is conducted in this work, where the factors influencing the supply chain management are examined. Moreover, the challenges and issues faced by the conventional works in adopting the IoT technology have been discussed with its possible solutions. In addition to that, the conceptual framework is presented for analyzing the development of IoT based logistics and supply chain management system. From this study, it is observed that the IoT is identified as one of the most suitable option for resolving the complex business management problems with innovative solutions. Also, it supports for improving the supply chain of organization with increased profit returns and customer satisfaction. 

A Comprehensive Analysis on the Adoption of IoT with Logistics and Supply Chain Management

The speed of technology integration among businesses has accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the work-from-home arrangements and safe distancing regulations, prompting businesses to automate operations and digitalize work environments. These impacts have disrupted work environments and operational processes, and a fresh set of competencies is required to stay competent in this new normal. Consequently, there is a need to develop a state-of-the-art competency framework for logistics professionals during these trying times. This study has adopted the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses to review, identify, and update the emerging competencies required by logistics professionals. The relevant academic documents were narrowed down to 81 and were used to identify the emerging competencies relevant to Industry 4.0 and COVID-19. The competencies were subsequently categorized into four key domains i.e., business, logistics, digital, and personal competencies, with a total of 17 sub-domains. This state-of-the-art framework contributes to academic research by updating the existing competency frameworks. Future research can also build upon this holistic list of emerging competencies by utilizing it to reduce the competency gaps faced by those who are less technology savvy i.e., older logistics professionals. Additionally, future research can correlate the competency framework to organizational learning theories to improve the overall performance of logistics companies.

In this paper, the authors research the possibilities of RFID technology implementation in transport of perishable goods. Transport, perishable goods transport, tracking and tracing, and RFID technology are explained. To demonstrate the importance and the complexity of the topic, a case study is constructed where RFID technology is combined with tracking and tracing to illustrate the transport of perishable agricultural goods. Possible applications of RFID technology in combination with Internet of Things are investigated, and future possibilities in transport are presented.

Implementation of RFID Technology in Perishable Goods Transport

This paper aims to summarize the current and potential capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT) and how it contributes to Logistics Management and how it might contribute more in the digital age of the year 2050. It will be discussing the new technologies that could one day reshape logistics management and supply chain environment from what it is today into something totally different in the future. Logistics management is an evolving function that has been created, adapted and implemented into the supply chain environment. The diversification of this phenomenon the Internet of Things (IoT) with its emerging attributes are all since it is constantly in motion. The innovative solutions that have been created and can be built upon further are excessively compulsive and are non-compellable. There is the foresight that the internet of things (IoT) will take over the way logistical operations are managed today and in so doing it will reduce the staff numbers of many organisations worldwide.
