This consulting project was written as part of the MSc in Management at the Interna-tional Hellenic University.
The constantly increasing need for goods, along with the need to turn to a sustainable growth model have triggered the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Correspondigly, latest technological breakthroughs in the field on Information and Communications Technol-ogy, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, IoT, 3D printers etc. have provided the necessary means for the Industry 4.0 realization.
Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0 and two inherent concepts, with Logistics 4.0 being more focused. This research topic has been gaining increased interest ever since Logistics started operating as autonomous service providers, addressing industries’ need for reliable and efficient deliveries. The advantages from encompassing the 4IR are signifi-cant yet the necessary investments to achieve realization are rather capital intense.
In this consulting project we have evaluated the digital maturity of Makios Logistics as a 3PL provider candidate for transiting to the Logistics 4.0 model. The company has done many steps towards this direction and may reflect a perfect candidate for en-compassing the 4IR. Most of the technological advances supporting Logistics 4.0 are already used at Makios Logistics, yet there is still some distance to be covered in order to characterize them as a Logistics 4.0 adopter.
