Özet
The twenty- first century was a period when digital technologies multiplied having gained great momentum. The emerging technologies during this period quickly penetrated the lives of both individuals and businesses. Digital technologies have got a foothold in, more or less, all sectors. Some sectors have benefited more quickly from what digitalization has brought due to their structure, while others have taken longer to transform digitally. Logistics and related sectors have rapidly adopted emerging technologies and incorporated them into their daily operations. Logistics is a critical process for the smooth operation of supply chains when evaluated from the viewpoint of multidimensional and multinational enterprises. Today’s holistic and sustainable supply chain management approach covers the entire product life cycle (Avelar- Sosa et al., 2019). For this reason, reverse logistics systems also occupy an important place concerning closed- loop supply chains, which plan both forward and backward flow of products. Although logistics are based on the smooth implementation of product movement, it is also quite crucial that the data generated in all processes is visible. This data needs to be seen by every element involved in the supply chain that makes up the chain, especially customers, suppliers and production lines. Data, such as product delivery date for customers, estimated time when raw materials will reach the production line for production planners, and inventory information for sellers is critical for businesses. Obtaining this data is only possible with the smooth management of the flow of product and information that occurs in logistics processes. This enables the intensive use of digital technologies in the logistics sector. This section focuses on the place of digitalization in the logistics sector. After investigating the digital transformation and technologies that have occurred in the logistics sector from past to present, the possible effects of emerging technologies on the logistics sector in the near future and in the following years and how new digital trends can guide logistics were discussed.
