Innovations and Trends in International Logistics with Artificial Intelligence in the Manufacturing Sector: A Literature Review

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a trend nowadays, being a much discussed topic in different operations of manufacturing Industries to streamline their logistics processes, being this fundamental to be able to get into the use of new application technologies to improve and boost industries 4.0. In this paper we reviewed the various innovations and trends in AI impact on international logistics in the manufacturing industry. To this end, as part of the method, 271 articles were analyzed and extracted from the most reliable databases such as Scopus, EBSCOhost, WoS and SciencieDirect, using the PRISMA methodology as a source of discarding, resulting in 59 relevant articles after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results allowed us to identify that the application of AI in manufacturing industry logistics has been studied and carried out by countries developed in technologies and automation, employing different techniques and methods to improve their logistics processes. Finally, it was concluded that the results obtained from this review are a key factor in the growth and research of new application technologies to modernize the industry towards the future and be closer to Industry 5.0 and the metaverse.
