Abstract Today’s mankind and all human activities are constantly changing and evolving in response to changes in technology, social and economic environments and climate. Those changes drive a “new” way of manufacturing industry. That novelty could be described as the organization of production processes based on technology and devices autonomously communicating with each other along the value chain. Decision-makers have to address this novelty (usually named as Industry 4.0) and try to develop appropriate information systems, physical facilities, and different kind of technologies capable of meeting the future needs of economy. As a consequence, there is a need for new paradigms of the way freight is move, store, realize, and supply through the world (logistics system). One of the proposed solutions is the Physical Internet, concept of open global logistics system which completely redefines current supply chain configuration, business models, and value-creation patterns.However, further detailed research on this topic is much needed. This paper aims to provide a balanced review of the variety of views considered among professionals in the field of Physical Internet with the final aim to identify the biggest challenges (technological, societal, business paradigm) of proposed new logistics paradigm as a practical solution in supporting Industry 4.0.

Automated Handling

One of the obstacles to the spread of rail-road intermodal freight transport is the lack of efficient container handling equipment on the rail-road hubs. The known and widely used solutions (gantry crane, reach stackers) are apparently not able to increase the volume of intermodal transport. The goal, which is uniformly desired by the professionals, the growth of rail-road intermodal freight transport, can be served by a container transhipment device that allows unit loads to be transferred between road and rail vehicles even under railway contact line. The new container transhipment technology, proposed in the article can be the missing hardware device for physical internet hubs. The highly automated handling robot meets the requirements of Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0.

The Impact

The subject of this research is the technology of management of mobile robot groups in the concept of Industry 4.0 and its composition. The purpose of this article is to find ways to implement an effective strategy for building and managing mobile robotic platforms in Warehousing, as a key tool of Lean Production. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to analyze the management of supply chains in Smart Manufacturing, within Industry 4.0 and its impact on achieving the goals of Lean Production; to study the evolution of technologies used in Warehousing in the dynamics of the Industrial Revolution; to analyze the evolution of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) as one of the most important components on the basis of which the requirements for automation of Warehousing automation in Smart Manufacturing with group management of mobile robotic platforms are implemented and achieved; to compare the impact of the technologies used by Warehousing 4.0 and Warehouse Management Systems on the key indicators of Lean Production. Results: One of the promising ways to achieve the effectiveness of the implementation of Lean Production tools in WMS systems is the use of Collaborative Robot System technology, which makes it possible to ensure a high density of product storage in Warehousing. However, modern mobile robotic platforms have their limitations both in the methods of loading and unloading products, and in the design. Therefore, the authors see the task in improving the design of mobile robotic platforms, which will develop a new intelligent group method of loading and unloading products, increasing the storage density for a variety of goods. Conclusions: The paper compares the impact of Warehousing 4.0 and Warehouse Management Systems on key Lean Production tools, which shows how the introduction of new group management technologies for robotic platforms in Warehousing 4.0 and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) affects the effectiveness of Lean Production tools such as Heijunka, Just-in-time, 5S. This suggests that the introduction of new models and methods of managing complex warehouses with high density and chaotic storage of products, through the use of mobile robotic autonomous systems, will significantly optimize the process of supply chain management in Smart Manufacturing.

Industry 4.0 is originally a future vision described in the high-tech strategy of the German government that is conceived upon information and communication technologies like Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, Physical Internet, and Internet of Services to achieve a high degree of flexibility in production (individualized mass production), higher productivity rates through real-time monitoring and diagnosis, and a lower wastage rate of material in production. An important part of the tasks in the preparation for Industry 4.0 is the adaption of the higher education to the requirements of this vision, in particular the engineering education. In this work, we introduce a road map consisting of three pillars describing the changes/enhancements to be conducted in the areas of curriculum development, lab concept, and student club activities. We also report our current application of this road map at the Turkish German University, Istanbul.

Concepts such as present-day mentality, human activities, technology, social and economic environments and organisational climate have had to undergo constant change following Industrial Revolutions. These changes in the management world have created a new value in production and service sectors. Supported by technology and device s that autonomously communicate with each other, these chains have ensured more modernized production processes. As the most recent trend, Industry 4.0 provides appropriate systems, physical attributes and diverse technologies that can cater for the future needs of economies by means of its initiation into business life with the motto of technological change and restructuring. The present study aim stories awareness of the concept of the Physical Internet, which is believed to provide new solutions to the field of logistics, and is an open global logistic system that has re defined existing supply chain structures, as well as current business and value creating models. This concept provides privileges in terms of transporting abstract and concrete products of enter prises via internet all over the world, as well as storing and supplying them. Consequently, the aim of the present study includes theoretically analysing the concept of the Physical Internet, which is one of the technological solutions provided by Industry 4.0, by means of literature review, which is defined as second-hand data, along with developing a different view point on enterprises’ vision and knowledge, and ensuring that enterprises do not miss the opportunity to restructure themselves. For an enterprise to be powerful, it is required to seize on opportunities and employ them in internal dynamics. Hence, if enterprises aspire to create value chains in the in activities, they should primarily seize on opportunities with the help of Industry 4.0, which is considered to be the future industrial revolution, adapt them to their own structures, and, in turn, be new generation enterprises by raising awareness. Concisely, the aim of the study is to bring a new perspective on logistic activities with the concept of the Physical Internet, ensure there vision of the current situation, and offer a solution to society-business-technology paradigm.

The Physical Internet (PI or π) is one of the most decisive ideas for future logistics systems. The idea behind it is to implement logistic systems which apply the principles of Internet information flow. Simultaneously technological innovations of Industry 4.0 have also appeared. Our current research deals with the applicability of the tools of Industry 4.0 technology in the PI system. Following the literature review we analyse the individual technological tools that could improve the functioning of PI components. Subsequently we will detail the usability of a specific Industry 4.0 tool and finally determine the future research steps.

Centralized Planning

Through the ongoing debate different positions support the hypothesis that Industry 4.0 evokes decentralization in everyday works. In this article we argue that the technological premises of Industry 4.0 lead to the contrary: centralized planning ensuing from optimized adaptation to the imperatives of the market. We exemplify this pattern, that we named ‘determinated procedure’, through exemplary cases from different industrial branches. Furthermore, we argue that (indeed) existing decentral moments neither amount to structural decentralization nor to humanizing and empowering concessions to employees, but rather primarily serve to their integration into the enterprise and mobilization of their production intelligence.
