DIGITAL MANUFACTURING: MODERN TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS IN LOGISTICS

Abstract

Under the influence of digital technologies, modern industrial systems are undergoing profound transformation, leading to the creation of new production models and management of logistics processes. Concepts such as Industry 4.0 and the increasingly prevalent Industry 5.0 introduce advanced solutions such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital twins, and smart factories, enabling greater flexibility, efficiency, and adaptability in production processes. In such an environment, logistics plays a key role in ensuring the continuous flow of materials, information, and energy throughout all phases of production and distribution. The integration of digital technologies into logistics processes enables better planning, real-time tracking, and resource optimization, which directly impacts the overall competitiveness of production systems. This paper demonstrates how modern technologies affect logistics processes, with an emphasis on challenges, and development prospects. Special attention is given to the possibilities for improving logistics through the application of digital tools.
