Smart Warehouses: Logical Architecture for Logistics 4.0

Abstract

This article proposes an approach based on Industry 4.0 technologies for building smart warehouses aiming to improve the performance of this logistic system operation. It is considered that the development of general and scalable logical warehouse architecture was to increase the traceability, reliability, and agility of intralogistics activities. It was observed potential gains (structuring and well-organized operations, orchestration of technological resources to improve logistical performance, reduction of human intervention in the process, increased productivity, and proof of operation errors) when modeling and simulating the proposal presented to build a testbed.
