Application Top Five Exponential Logistic Technologies During the Covid-19 Pandemic

In a pandemic situation such as Covid-19, it is essential to keep contact to a minimum, but it is also important to maintain an acceptable supply level to the population. This paper presents a general analysis of selected exponential logistics technologies, particularly the possibilities of their use in the implementation of logistics chains, or the segment related to storage and distribution during a pandemic. Exponential technologies are those whose performance doubles yearly, but whose cost is halved. Five logistics technologies have been selected that meet the exponentiality criteria and can address pandemic-related issues under certain conditions. Each of these technologies can be used in specific segments of logistics systems. The technologies meet the exponentiation criterion and contribute to increased performance, efficiency, and process automation These technologies are becoming part of a new approach to logistics and are directly related to the advent of Industry 4.0. This paper analysis and subsequent application concern logistics technologies such as internet of things, automated guided vehicles, drones, digital twins, and artificial intelligence.
