“…In a similar vein, Kayikci et al (2020) argue for blockchain's potential in combating food waste and ensuring food authenticity, presenting a framework for a blockchain-driven food supply chain. Likewise, the work of Taskin et al ( 2021) and Raza et al (2023) underscores the role of IoT and Blockchain in bolstering supply chain management by improving data transfer, device control, and security, thereby enhancing transparency and safety in supply chains.…”

Amid the unfolding Fourth Industrial Revolution, the integration of Logistics 4.0 with agribusiness has emerged as a pivotal nexus, harboring potential for transformational change while concurrently presenting multifaceted challenges. Through a meticulous content analysis, this systematic review delves deeply into the existing body of literature, elucidating the profound capacities of Logistics 4.0 in alleviating supply chain disruptions and underscoring its pivotal role in fostering value co-creation within agro-industrial services. The study sheds light on the transformative potential vested within nascent technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and their promise in shaping the future landscape of agribusiness. However, the path forward is not without impediments; the research identifies cardinal barriers, most notably the absence of robust governmental policies and a pervasive lack of awareness, which collectively stymie the seamless incorporation of Industry 4.0 technologies within the realm of agribusiness. Significantly, this inquiry also highlights advancements in sustainable supply chain management, drawing attention to pivotal domains including digitalization, evolving labor paradigms, supply chain financing innovations, and heightened commitments to social responsibility. As we stand on the cusp of technological evolution, the study offers a forward-looking perspective, anticipating a subsequent transition towards Industry 5.0, characterized by the advent of hyper-cognitive systems, synergistic robotics, and AI-centric supply chains. In its culmination, the review presents prospective avenues for future research, emphasizing the indispensable need for relentless exploration and pragmatic solutions. This comprehensive synthesis not only sets the stage for future research endeavors but also extends invaluable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and academicians navigating the intricate labyrinthstry of Logistics 4.0 in agribusiness.

A food traceability system (FTS) can record information about processes along a production chain to determine their safety and quality. Under the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, the communication technologies that support FTSs act as platforms for mass access to information with limited security. However, the integrity of the collected data is not immune to security attacks. This paper proposes a point-to-point information transmission path with no edges or access boundaries (no intermediaries) to transmit data with integrity. This route is possible thanks to the architectural articulation of a hardware device (sensor BIoTS) at the perception layer, with the Blockchain architecture at the application layer. This pairing makes an ecosystem with the ability to trace and certify in parallel the products, the supply chain processes, and the data recorded in it possible. The design of the security testing ecosystem is based on the theoretical and technical principles of cybersecurity. It is executed through mathematical models that define the probability of attacks’ success against the transmitted data’s integrity. The security tests performed allow for establishing that this BIoTS information transmission route is unlikely to suffer from transmission vulnerabilities and that it is not prone to security attacks against integrity. This work paves the way toward fully integrating Blockchain technology in dedicated IoT architectures.

The process of controlling the flow of products and services from a company by encompassing each stage involved in transforming raw materials and parts into finished items, also delivering them to the final consumer is known as Supply Chain Management (SCM). The development of numerous smart city applications including smart grids, smart homes, smart supply chains, and smart healthcare has drawn attention to the Internet of Things (IoT). Nowadays, researchers are considering the smart healthcare system's role as a Public Emergency Service (PES) to treat patients promptly. A distributed smart fire brigade system receives little attention like PES to save lives and property from catastrophic fire damage. The conventional PES methods are created using a centralized method that needs a lot of processing power and doesn't offer timely services. The traditional systems developed for managing the supply chain have drawbacks like single-point failure issues, data integrity, transparency, and lack of trust. To alleviate the existing issues, in this paper, a Blockchain and IoT Enable Secure and Transparent Supply Chain Management framework is utilized for PES in the smart city environment. Further, two edge computing servers, like a service controller and an IoT controller are adapted. The local storage is handled by the service and IoT controller. Thus, it enhances the data processing speed of PES requests and PES fulfillment. The service controller utilizes the Optimal Queue Model to manage the PES requests based on the minimum service queue length. The efficiency of the network is improved by fine-tuning the parameters from the Queue model with the aid of a Revised Fitness-based Political Optimizer (RF-PO). The multi-objective constraints like queue length, utilization, actual arrival time, expected arrival time, and end-toend delay are utilized for the efficient supply chain system. These stimulated results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the supply chain framework.INDEX TERMS Supply chain management system, smart cities, internet of things, blockchain, revised fitnessbased political optimizer, optimal queue model.
