Big Data Research on the Green Internet of Things in New Smart-Logistics

Abstract

Recent advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) have contributed to the evolution of the supply chain and logistics sector. Indeed, the analysis of massive data (Big Data) coming from smart-products makes it possible to extract enormous values for the decision-making of strategic choice: commercial or technical. But this also causes research problems because of the speed of data transmission, the huge volume, and the non-homogeneous types of data. This work provides an overview of the analysis of Big-Data (BD) from the Green Internet of Things (Green-IoT) in new Smart-Logistics. This article begins with a discussion of the needs and challenges of the Green Internet of Things (Green-IoT) and Big Data (BD)analysis in logistics. Then, major data analysis technologies are examined and discussed. In addition, this article also describes future directions in this promising area.

Digitally-enabled sustainable supply chains in the 21st century: A review and a research agenda

“…Ahmed et al (2018) explain that big data can predict the financial impact of supply chainrelated decisions before they are implemented, hence avoiding losses. In addition, big data can assist in maintaining optimal inventory levels and mitigate the bullwhip effect, both of which are crucial for the company's financial success (Samir et al, 2019). Finally, Tseng et al (2019) suggest that a data-driven sustainable supply chain may deliver economic benefits such as cost saving, enhanced coordination and collaboration among supply chain tiers, and faster response to market demands.…”

“…In this context, big data is claimed to be essential for decision making in highly volatile and competitive markets (Kaur and Singh, 2018) since it improves supply chain planning and demand forecasting (Wang et al, 2016), identifies consumption patterns and supply chain bottlenecks (Samir et al, 2019), as well as reducing risks and uncertainties (Wu et al, 2017). Therefore, big data offers an opportunity to make sustainable supply chains more resilient to external shocks (Kaur and Singh, 2018;Papadopoulos et al, 2017;Visconti and Morea, 2019).…”
