Abstract
Logistics represents an industrial and multidisciplinary scientific field that deals with the analysis, planning, management, and control of all logistics operations (distribution, warehouse, shipping, transportation etc.). Modern trends in logistics involve the use of advanced software systems, tools and digital technologies (DT) to address all operations and activities within a single logistics task. Digital technologies (DT) in logistics encompass the application of intelligent and smart digital technologies, smart technologies (ST), smart manufacturing (SM), smart logistics (SL), artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing (CC), data mining (DM), and more. The application of all these technologies in logistics has created a new concept called Logistics 4.0, which is based on the concept of Industry 4.0. While SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and corporations in middle-developed and underdeveloped countries of the world are beginning to think about introducing the concept of Logistics 4.9, a new concept of Logistics 5.0 has already been created and defined. Within the Logistics 4.0 concept, which is part of Industry 4.0, advanced and modern versions of software systems and tools in the field of logistics are used for planning, transportation, warehousing, distribution and other logistics operations. Modern software systems and tools for logistics are classified into several groups: logistics database (LDB) for quick search and access of logistics data, logistics information systems (LIS) for storing, processing and management of logistics data and information, logistics management systems (LMS) for managing logical operations, logistics decision support systems (LDSS) for decision-making in specific logistics operations, logistics expert systems (LES) and other software systems and tools for logistics operations. This paper provides an overview of different software systems and tools for logistics operations.
