This article aims to examine the application opportunities of on-demand services in the transportation and mobility sector. As these personalized, demand-driven services are gaining prominence in more and more areas, their dissemination and operation should be given a deeper understanding and overview, thus a structured literature review is being conducted in the study to examine these adaptive service processes. There is a great variety in these service types and characteristics, such as on-demand transportation services, demand-responsive transport, dial-a-ride transit, flexible mobility on demand, and many others. Because of this, a systematic approach is strongly justified, as there is a great need for a comprehensive summary, in order to learn more about the nature and operating model of these services.
The purpose of this paper is to is to examine how Industry 4.0 applications can be used in agricultural context in order to create more efficient food safety operations in supply chain management, leading towards the Agriculture 4.0 era. The Industry 4.0 trend is transforming the production capabilities of all industries as companies try to keep pace with the era of globalization and aiming to obtain a competitive advantage on the market as they benefit from technological advancements and this also applies to the agricultural sector. As the world's population is increasing, the importance of the food safety is more important than ever. As a result technological development is a necessity especially in light of the length and complexity of the global supply chains. This paper provides a structured literature review of related papers, examining the various applications and opportunities created by the Industry 4.0 in the agricultural sector, and aims to show how the use of technology in agricultural supply chains has evolved.
With the globalization agri-food supply chains become longer and more complex, what makes it difficult to manage. parallel with this there is increasing customer demand for knowing the origin, ingredients and delivery chain of agricultural products. the need for more efficient, traceable and visible supply chain for agri-food products appears from supply side. The digital methods of industry 4.0 are able to provide solutions for these demands particularly those which are able to trace product reliable way from its origin to consumption. blockchain is a disruptive technology by which every important product information can be collected, stored and shared with the actors involved in the product process chain from the first phase to the final customer. The paper provides an overview about blockchain technology and its operation in agri-food supply chains environment, then presents some examples from the practice of different countries where blockchain was applied in the agricultural sector in order to introduce experiences as facts, and further possibilities as promises by blockchain.
