Abstract: Abstract The ascending rise of omnichannel shopping and constantly increasing demand for faster delivery of products is redefining the distribution of products to the end customers. The growth of the Internet facilitates buyers to shop through multiple channels, which created the need for the more intelligent warehouses to serve today’s connected buyers. In this paper, authors tried to explore the implications of Industry 4.0 technologies like augmented reality, autonomous robotics, Internet of things, blockchain, drones, etc., to drive a smart, adaptive, agile, and productive warehouse. The objective is to present most applicable technologies which a firm needs to deploy for the digitalization of warehouses, what are the processes or operations of warehouse that will get reformed by those technologies, and what benefits can leaders expect from their investments? This study will assist managers in realizing the importance of adopting new digital technologies in warehousing operations and make them taking initiatives for realizing its benefits.
