Internet of things technologies: the case of the logistics sector

Abstract

Technological change and rapid transformation are very significant in various business areas. The logistics sector is no exception; one of the fastest-growing technologies in this area is integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) into certain logistics activity areas. The Internet of Things (IoT) promotes the transformation of processes and leads to greater operational efficiency, security, and, at the same time, sustainability. The fact that the Internet of Things (IoT), as a technology and its applicability, is essential in logistics is emphasised by the research conducted and the presentation of their results in scientific literature and practical discussions. This article presents what Internet of Things (IoT) solutions are integrated into logistics. A systematic literature and secondary data analysis will be applied to achieve this goal. The results obtained within the conducted research and analysis limits will imply further possible research directions.
