With new advanced technologies developed every day, many sectors have started to adopt these technologies. This ppt entails how the Logistics sector too is influenced by these latest technologies like AI, IoT, 3D printing, driverless vehicles, GPS tracking systems, telematics, and many others.
3. •The latest innovation and technology updates have been influencing many industries
in one way or other.
• Likewise, Logistics sector too is being smitten by the latest technological
advancements as many industries have started using technologies extensively &
dominantly.
•Electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, drone, vehicle tracking systems, autonomous
robots seem to be only the start of the future that will shape the Logistics sector.
•In this blog we will discuss about how automation technology will help improve the
trends in logistics and which Technologies will influence Logistics
Introduction
4. • Robotics has changed the working of many industries & sectors. Logistics is no far
from being influenced by the use of robotics.
• Giants like Amazon have started deploying robots in logistics and other functions of
warehouse like picking and packing.
• With the new innovation of Cobots which are collaborative robots that can work in
conjunction with Internet of Things (IoT), the logistics work has been revolutionising
as they can operate 3 times faster than ordinary robots.
• Robots are being deployed increasingly for picking, packaging, and delivering through
the logistics.

5. •TELEMATICS – A method of
monitoring vehicles & heavy
equipments by using GPS & onboard
diagnostics (OBD).
•OBD devices have sensors that
provide vehicle’s data like position,
speed, trip distance & time, idling &
many other vehicle data
•The system assesses fleets while in
transit, detect driver’s behaviour, know
exact location of vehicles, avoid delay
in delivery, etc.

6. Drone delivery is the delivery
made by drones that delivers the
package at doorstep
Drone
Delivery
Recently Amazon caught the
attention with its drone
delivery testing.
Advantage - reduced delivery time
due to traffic, infrastructure, &
geographical conditions especially
in remote places
Drone delivery reduces the last
mile delivery expenses.
7. •Robots are being deployed for
picking, packaging, and delivering
through the logistics.
•Cobots which are collaborative
robots that can work in
conjunction with Internet of Things
(IoT), has been revolutionising
logistics as they can operate 3
times faster than ordinary robots.
•Giants like Amazon have started

8. IoT
IoT is a revolutionary technology that
allows devices to communicate with
each other within an existing internet
infrastructure without human
intervention
Use in Logistics -
Monitoring people and
tools, providing notifications to
managers about on-site
activities like performance of
assets, status of inventory, flow
of materials, work status of
employees, use of energy,etc
Use in Logistics -
It can even enhance the in-
transit visibility that gives
more control to the managers.
The technology’s
application will increase
speed, decrease waste
and reduce overall costs.
9. Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a machine
or a combination of different machines to make
intelligent decisions based on the data available
The use of AI has been on rise to automate
different processes like sorting & packages
with the help of robots
The robots are programmed to pack goods
and sort it based on the delivery
requirements using AI

10. Experts
believe that in
the coming
years
companies in
logistics will
use this
technology
for the
replacement
of parts
With the help of this originally developed for
producing prototype technology and some
new technologies, production techniques
will be revolutionised, making the process
faster and agile.
3D Printing
11. •Driverless vehicles are vehicles driven without human
efforts and navigate themselves.
•Though the technology hasn’t been officially used
commercially on a large scale considering many risks
factors associated, it could benefit the industry with
reduction in transportation costs.
•Some believe that the technology has a long way to
come in commercially while some believe it could be
nearer than thought.

12. Conclusion
• Though some technologies are currently being used while some will be realised
gradually soon, these technologies have a solid impact along with those that will be
developed in the future.
• Companies need to take a note of this and start using the technologies to gather
advantage on competitors.
• These technologies will also help companies in realising the demands of customers
and also help them analyse operational issues & avoid them well in advance.
