Smart Warehouses Logical Architecture for Logistics 4.0

Abstract

This article proposes an approach based on Industry 4.0 technologies for building smart-warehouses aiming to improve the performance of this logistic system operation. A general and scalable logical warehouse architecture was developed to increase the traceability, reliability, and agility of intralogistics activities. When modeling and simulating the proposal presented to build a testbed, potential gains were observed such as structuring and well-organized operations, orchestration of technological resources to improve logistical performance, reduction of human intervention in the process, increased productivity, and proof of operation errors.
