Industry 5.0 era enabling the transition of logistics to smart logistics: A bibliometric and systematic review

There has been a revolutionary shift in manufacturing with each industrial revolution, ushering in new technology and ways of production. This study examines the emerging effects of Industry 5.0 on smart logistics using both quantitative and qualitative assessments conducted between 2015 and 2021. The “quantitative (Comparative Bibliometric Analysis) and qualitative (Content Analysis)” used data from Web of Science and Scopus. The text outlines three crucial differentiations: a transition towards a focus on human needs, increased capacity to withstand challenges, and enhanced commitment to environmental preservation. The research clarifies the concept of smart logistics and promotes its integration with Industry 5.0's four-part intelligence architecture, which includes automation, devices, systems, and materials. Limitations include a lack of consideration for the influence of CO2 emissions on profitability and transportation policy, indicating potential areas for further study. Researchers are encouraged to investigate the intersection of technology, sustainability, and smart logistics, as Industry 5.0 develops as a revolution focused on creating value and prioritizing human needs.
