Chapter Chapter 6 in Implementing Industry 4.0 in SMEs, 2021, pp 187-209 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Although it is an extremely important step to gain sustained competitive advantage in the era of Industry 4.0, the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for smart logistics can be challenging. In order to successfully implement such technologies, it is crucial, particularly for SMEs, to self-evaluate their own readiness for integrating technologies for smart logistics. This research proposes a readiness model which can be used as a guideline before implementing technologies for smart logistics at the SMEs level. It describes essential elements in the integration of ICT and CPS for smart logistics, as well as the potential five stages of implementation, which are initial, trial, organized, automated, and optimized.
