AI - Robotic Applications in Logistics Industry and Savings Calculation

In this study, we present the development of using artificial intelligence and robotic technologies in the logistics sector and differences of the change created by such technologies. We identified the most correct predictions pertaining to the future of logistics by comparing the results of studies with our findings. To analyze this change, the developments observed in the logistics perspective synthesized by doing research through the conceptual approach and literature review model and then, the impacts experienced in the logistics sector identified with findings obtained from the analyses. Within the framework of the conceptual approach; the types of robotic and developments created with the impact of the industrial revolution, changes experienced in transition from industry 4.0 to industry 5.0 in the logistics and technology-provider specification of the industry 5.0 were investigated. The criteria for the analyses are about the numbers of the use and sales value of the service robots used in the logistics sector in the world by the years, differences of the regional use and savings in the labor costs with the impact of robot investments. In this study, environmental data analyzed; CO 2 emission reduction amounts and diesel savings in highway, intermodal, emission reduction and diesel savings options in 2014 – 2020, and savings calculation tactic is applied. This study allows unique predictions to be obtain through the analysis of the impacts in different stages of the robotic logistics sector in terms of the ability of the robotic technologies to offer important benefits and propose utilization for the future.
