To enhance productivity and cope with the changing needs of customers, product design, production, packaging and distribution accordingly. In 2011, a new concept, Industry 4.0, was introduced in Germany. In the context of Industry 4.0, the future logistics on how physical objects are transported, handled, stored, supplied, realised and used across the world can be reshaped by Physical Internet so as for improvements in logistics efficiency and sustainability (Montreuil 2011) and cyber-physical systems and Internet of things (IoT) make it possible that industry-relevant items like materials, sensors, machines and products or in terms of Physical Internet containers are all connected and communicate with one another. All the connected items can be tracked and monitored so as to allow manufacturers to know the patterns and performance. With the decentralised intelligent decision-making, Industry 4.0 can be described as the increasing digitisation and automation of the manufacturing environment as well as the creation of a digital value chain that enables communication between products, the environment and business partners (Lasi et al. 2014). Industry 4.0 represents the coming fourth industrial revolution by adopting IoT, information and services for the next production paradigm. Decentralised intelligence helps create intelligent networks and optimise independent processes, with the interaction of the real and virtual worlds representing a crucial new milestone in industry development. Industry 4.0 represents a paradigm shift from ‘centralised’ to ‘decentralised’ production – made possible by technological advances, which constitute a reversal of conventional production process logic. Industrial production machinery no longer simply ‘process’ product, but the product communicates with the machinery to tell it exactly what to do (Wang et al. 2016). Industry 4.0 introduces an embedded system with latest production technologies. Smart production processes pave the way to a new technological age, which will radically transform industry and production value chains and business models.
