Developing a Framework for Future Warehousing Using the Internet of Things

Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) is the next generation of Internet-connected embedded IT frameworks. However, IoT is still in its initial stages in the manufacturing industry and respective supply chain environment, leaving uncertainty about possible application areas and impacts. This paper explores the role of Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on supply chain management (SCM) for warehousing through an extensive literature review. The purpose of this study is therefore to study the role of IoT technology in enabling the supply chain visibility and connectivity, and impact on supply chain performance. In addition, most studies have focused on the framework for warehousing.
