“…Furthermore, product lifecycles have been reduced, leading to shorter manufacturing and distributing cycles, mostly due to the increase in electronic commerce, which is currently in its worldwide peak due to the recent pandemic, putting stress throughout all supply chain stakeholders. Additive manufacturing is well suited for such an environment, as it does not require expensive tools and machinery or elaborated numerical control (NC) programming [78]. In that direction, additive manufacturing systems, when mature, could possibly transform supply chains and logistics as we know them today by eliminating transport distances and stock at hand [9].…”

Even though the topic of Industry 4.0 in the last decade has attracted significant and multifarious attention from academics and practitioners, a structured and systematic review of Industry 4.0 in the context of contemporary logistics is currently lacking. This study attempted to address this shortcoming by performing a systematic review of the available literature of Industry 4.0 in the logistics context. To that end, and after a systematic inclusion/exclusion process, 65 carefully selected papers were addressed in the study. The results obtained from this study were illustrated and discussed in order to provide answers to two research questions pre-defined by the authors. In essence, this study identified emerging aspects and present trends in the area, addressed the main technological developments and evolution of Industry 4.0 and their impact for contemporary logistics, and finally pinpointed literature shortcomings and currently under-explored areas with a high potential for impactful future research. Findings of this review can hopefully be used as the basis for future research in the emerging Logistics 4.0 concept and related topics.
