Logistics in the era of Industry 4.0
10 August, 2016 by Volker Glöckle, Logistics Automation Industry Management, SICK AGDigitalisation, networking, cloud computing, data security — the fourth industrial revolution is underway even with respect to logistics. Making logistics-related object properties available to all members of the supply chain makes possible a whole host of greater efficiencies. The prerequisite for this is a secure data space that is regulated and standardised across the board.
