4.0 LOJİSTİK VE TEDARİK ZİNCİRİ YÖNETİMİNDE AKILLI TEKNOLOJİLERİN KULLANIMI: AKILLI ELDİVEN ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Logistics 4.0 is the transition period from hardware-oriented logistics to software-oriented logistics. The concept of "smart", which emerged with digital transformation, has made technology-based solutions gain importance. The special value-added services offered by smart logistics positively affect the logistics supply chain and can produce countless solutions to the ever-changing demands of customers. This study was planned to examine the areas of smart glove usage in logistics, their benefits, advantages, disadvantages, and domestic smart glove preference. Since smart gloves are a new technology product, publications on this subject are quite limited. However, it is anticipated that there will be more publications in the future. As a result of a detailed literature review, it has been revealed that smart gloves are used at almost every stage of the logistics supply chain, providing speed, quality, and time savings, reducing costs, and increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of companies. The most important feature of new technologies is that they are adapted in line with needs and become indispensable with their ergonomics and ease of use. Turkey produces "smart gloves" and exports the smart products it develops to 15 different countries, including Germany, England, China, the United Arab Emirates, and Poland. Many companies such as MERCEDES-Benz, Renault, TOFAŞ, Bridgestone-Lassa, and Carrefoursa use these gloves in their production and logistics processes. The use of smart gloves will increase in the future and many companies will use them in the logistics and supply chain processes.
