Abstract Each day, companies and organizations are facing new challenges. The customer requirements are increasing and global competition is leading to important changes in the industrial world. Against this background, the fourth industrial revolution aims to deal with these challenges. Besides the lack of comparable studies covering the new concepts in logistics, this study intends to study, and clarify diverse approaches in smart logistics frameworks in order to produce a new picture of the state of smart logistics research. The main objective of this paper is to present a coherent and comprehensive vision of current efforts in smart logistics. In particular, we begin by presenting the methodology followed and the bibliometric analysis. We also propose a classification of existing works in the literature dealing with intelligent logistics. Also, we provide an overview of smart logistics technologies and applications presented in the recent literature and provide a summary of related research work. Finally, we identify possible future areas of research.
1 Introduction As customer requirements change over time, so do the different industrial paradigms. These changes require industrial evolution and logistics to adopt methods that ensure a competitive advantage in global markets. During, the past decades, worldwide economics has grown rapidly. In our study, the focus is on the role of smart logistics in global economic development. Indeed, the term logistics refers to the planning, implementation, monitoring, and control of a flow in order to ensure efficient management of goods and services to meet customer needs. While smart logistics is based on other aspects such as the consideration of integration of man and environment, sustainability, and of course digital transformation and technological progress. Previously, precisely in the 1960s, world GDP estimation was $ 1372 billion. As for 2016, the production is much higher at $ 76.142 billion [1]. According to the consulting firm PwC, the world economy would experience an annual average growth rate of about 2.5% during the 2016 period—2050 [2].

communication technologies are evolving, customer requests are becoming more varied and particular. Given that in the global market, competition points out an increasing need for cost diminution, setting new equipment has become primary to reduce operating costs and capital investments [3]. Consequently, economic growth, regarding the changes in the level of consumption, affects the supply chain entirely by disturbing its old operations and management process. Sma
