“…They detail the progression of data application from visibility to enhancing adaptability within the company, the evolution of decision scopes from monitoring to strategic decision-making, the decentralisation of decision levels, the realisation of real-time data acquisition, as well as the increase of automation, autonomy and the number of actors engaged the supply chain. Emphasised by von Stietencron et al (2022) they explain that Logistics 4.0 aims to sustainably meet consumer needs by enhancing the efficiency and responsiveness of logistic processes whilst reducing service costs, which often involve manual labour and low-value activities. Meanwhile, Dixit and Verma (2022) identified and addressed the gap in the realm of Logistics 4.0 solutions, specifically the lack of comprehensive quantitative risk analysis.…”

PurposeTechnology is the lifeline for the logistics industry, and it has been immensely disrupted by the emerging blockchain technology. This paper has two main objectives. The first is to explore how the current blockchain technology can be implemented in the logistics industry with the aim of improving logistic services amongst the network of logistics service providers (LSPs). The second is to propose the development of a blockchain model for the small and medium logistics service supply chain.Design/methodology/approachA prototype blockchain-based logistics system has been created and tested in a case study with a real logistics company. The primary technologies for developing a blockchain model on the Hyperledger platform as well as how the system is designed based on the logistics service flow are explained.FindingsThe study has resulted in the successful implementation of the proposed prototype blockchain-based logistics system. In particular, the case company has managed to fully utilise the developed tracking and tracing system. Whilst utilising the prototype, the participants have been able to fulfil their responsibilities in an effective manner. The performance of LSPs has improved following the World Bank Logistics Performance Index (LPI) criteria.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to current research in the application of blockchain technologies in the domain of logistics and the supply chain to progress LSPs towards Logistics 4.0. The current frameworks for Logistics 4.0 and how blockchain as a disruptive technology revolutionises logistic services are reviewed. In addition, this paper highlights the benefits of blockchain technology that LSPs can leverage to further improve their performance based on the LPI criteria.

“…Big data may identify current and future market trends, buying patterns of logistics services, and related maintenance cycles, to provide cost-saving options and effective targeted business decisions [ 8 ]. However, L4.0 necessitates the creation of scalable and efficient software solutions, as well as their implementation in successful real-world applications [ 9 ]. Various organizations face the challenge of extracting benefits from the substantial invasion of internet-generated data.…”

“…Industry 4.0 is the integration of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing in manufacturing, to create smarter and more efficient factories [5]. Following the paradigm of Industry 4.0, all objects, especially in digital production, logistics, and transport, will be equipped with integrated computing power and communication capabilities [6,7]. This not only affects machine-to-machine communication, but also increasingly has consequences for the interaction between humans and technology in their working environment, i.e., for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), and thus, for Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) [8,9].…”

This literature review presents a comprehensive analysis of the use and potential application scenarios of collaborative robots in the industrial working world, focusing on their impact on human work, safety, and health in the context of Industry 4.0. The aim is to provide a holistic evaluation of the employment of collaborative robots in the current and future working world, which is being increasingly driven by the automation and digitization of production processes, and which can be outlined using the term Work 4.0. In this context, the forms of work organization, and the demands and impacts on humans are changing profoundly. Collaborative robots represent a key technology to aid the transition. The review utilizes expert interviews for identifying relevant keywords, and follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework to evaluate peer-reviewed literature between 2002 and January 2022. The analysis includes forms of interaction, and the distribution of roles, control interfaces, safety procedures, and ergonomics and health. In addition, the review offers a heatmap displaying the research topics of 715 publications for each year, and a database of these publications in BibTeX format that is publicly accessible. The review highlights the challenges, potential benefits, and trends of using collaborative robots in the industrial working world, emphasizing the importance of a careful evaluation of their impact on human work, safety, and health. It offers a tool set for researchers and practitioners to further explore and evaluate the employment of collaborative robots in Work 4.0.
