Intelligent and Advanced Digital Technologies Enabling Sustainable and Viable Supply Chain and Logistics Ecosystems
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topic on “Intelligent and Advanced Digital Technologies Enabling Sustainable and Viable Supply Chain and Logistics Ecosystems” explores how emerging digital solutions are reshaping supply chain and logistics systems to become more efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible. It focuses on the application of technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things, blockchain, digital twins, big data analytics, robotics, and automation in addressing current supply chain challenges.
These technologies support better decision making, real-time visibility, predictive capabilities, and improved coordination across supply chain networks. They also help organisations reduce waste, optimise resource use, lower carbon emissions, and enhance operational transparency. In addition, intelligent digital systems can strengthen supply chain viability by improving adaptability to disruptions, market uncertainty, and changing customer demands.
The Topic highlights the growing need to integrate sustainability goals with technological innovation to create logistics ecosystems that are not only smart, but also economically feasible and socially responsible. It welcomes research that advances theory, practice, and policy in digital transformation for supply chains. Overall, this Topic aims to showcase how advanced digital technologies can drive the transition towards more sustainable, agile, and future-ready supply chain and logistics ecosystems across industries and global contexts.
