Shedding light on the central theme “Logistics 4.0”, Novire Group Chairman Hiten Varia said, “Manufacturing companies are moving into ‘Smart factory’ model (industry 4.0), which leads to manufacturing and warehouse units that rely more and more on the work done by machines. These machines plug into IoT networks to communicate with each other, and in the process allow us to access all aspects of the manufacturing/logistics chains. Logistics 4.0 is the new paradigm of human-machine interaction in logistics that is being implemented by manufacturers to support their industry 4.0 trends.” He further added that logistics services will need to be able to communicate with the increasing number of automated processes at factories and warehouses to provide an ever-increasing seamlessness in the transition of the product/service from the manufactures silos to the customer’s doorstep.”
