TL;DR

Industry 4.0 and the proliferation of IoT, CPS, and SF technologies are driving transformative changes across organizational, production, and social domains, including urban environments where these smart solutions are increasingly applied. The authors review the foundational assumptions of Industry 4.0 and IoT and conduct a systematic literature review of smart logistics concepts. They define smart logistics objectives and tasks within Industry 4.0 and outline how its potential can support smart city development.

Abstract

The challenges posed by Industrie 4.0 serve as a motivation to introduce changes in practically all the areas: the organizational, production technology and social area. The dynamics of the increase of the use of IoT, CPS or SF and the benefits which are obtained by stakeholders have caused these solutions to find their practical applications in other areas of our lives including urbanized areas (cities). The use of sophisticated technologies and equipment that works in the IoT environment has caused us to refer to such solutions as "smart solutions". In the article, the basic assumptions of the functioning of Industrie 4.0 and IoT are characterized. A systematic review of SL notions in the literature area under examination was conducted. SL objectives and tasks in Industrie 4.0 were defined, and the possibilities were indicated of the use of the SL potential in the development of smart cities (CS).
