Industry 4.0 impact on logistics

ndustrija 4.0, ki jo poznamo tudi pod imenom četrta industrijska revolucija, je danes neizogibna tema tako v poslovnem svetu kot tudi v vsakdanjem življenju, saj vpliva na celotne panoge ter spreminja način oblikovanja in izdelave produktov, dostave in plačila blaga. Gre za povezovanje digitalnega in fizičnega sveta, ki ga omogočajo nove tehnologije. V vsakdanjem življenju smo tem tehnologijam že izpostavljeni ali pa za njih slišimo preko modnih besed kot so “internet stvari“, “računalništvo v oblaku“, “agumentirana realnost“, “pametne tovarne“ in podobno. Namen diplomskega projekta je predstaviti industrijo 4.0, razumeti njene gradnike ter to smiselno povezati z področjem logistike. Dobavne verige, zaradi vse večjih zahtev potrošnikov, postajajo vedno bolj kompleksne in zahtevnejše za obvladovati in nadzirati. Industirja 4.0 bo imela pozitivne vplive na določene logistične procese, saj bo pravilna uporaba novih tehnologij pripomogla k večji učinkovitosti in optimizaciji vsakdanjih procesov. Posledično pa prinesla večjo dodano vrednost končnim potrošnikom. Videli bomo, da se določena podjetja temu že intenzivno prilagajajo in uživajo v njenih koristih.Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is an unavoidable topic today in the business world as well as in everyday life, as it affects entire industries and changes the way we design and manufacture products, deliver and pay for goods. It is about connecting the digital and physical worlds made possible by new technologies. In everyday life, we are already exposed to these technologies or we hear about them through buzzrowds words such as "Internet of Things", "cloud computing", "argumentative reality", "smart factories" and similar. The purpose of the diploma project is to present Industry 4.0, understand its building blocks and connect this in a meaningful way with the field of logistics. Supply chains, due to the growing demands of consumers, are becoming more complex and more demanding to manage and control. Industirja 4.0 will have a positive impact on certain logistics processes, as the correct use of new technologies will help to increase efficiency and optimize everyday processes. As a result, it brought greater added value to end consumers. We will see that certain companies are already intensively adapting to this and enjoying its benefits
