Abstract

     The new technology has recently experienced remarkable progress which enlarged its domain of application. In supply chain domain, this increase appeals to new models that can collect, analyze and control big data. Emerging technologies form the 4th industrial revolution which consider the smart supply chain as essential component of it. This composition articulates on many concepts such as Internet of Things and Blockchain. These smart concepts help supervising the supply chain by supervising its equipment. Internet of Things consists of creating an interconnected field of all the objects composing the logistic chain and makes them active and accessible in real time. While Blockchain stills a very trending and complex concept that can be exploited advantageously in the transmission and storage of data in a secure and decentralized manner. The purpose of this study is to present, initially, a global view of the Moroccan industry classification according to its Gross Domestic Product, then, studying the percentage of major contributions of the industrial branches. In addition to that, to design a survey about the application of smart supply chain technologies in the Moroccan industry.

Introduction

     The 4th industry revolution brought a new change on the automated industry which transformed it, radically, into an autonomous decision making one. Internet of Things, Big Data analytics, Blockchain, 3D printing, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more are considered as technological pillars of the industry 4.0 that intervene all along the supply chain equipment and processes. Their intervention makes the activity easy to access and control by making smart decision in real time using complex logistical models.

     The concept of smart supply chain concretely performs the entire logistic chain from customer to customer, regardless of their location, by effectively controlling the flow of suppliers. This control concerns simultaneously the cost reduction and the quality exigence. To achieve this performance, smart supply chain exploits intelligent sensors and devices existing in all the chain equipment. However, data security against cybercrime and data reliability remains to be major issues in the integration of smart technologies into the supply chain. These problematics persist side by side with the infrastructure problems, complexity of procedures and policies, but also with cost instability. Therefore, it is strongly necessary to achieve a condition of transparency in all logistics flows in order to ensure a fast and secure transmission of information, products and money.

Conclusion

     Industrial companies are constantly faced with growing demand in a very competitive market. This constraint requires manufacturers to improve their activities and methods by exploiting new concepts and innovations [14].

     The implementation of smart technologies at industrial manufacturers, such as Internet of Things and Blockchain tools, has shown a significant improvement in performance. However their investment cost, smart technologies lead to significant advantages in terms of productivity, performance and profit.

     The diversity and improvement of innovative technologies make them easy to implement in all types of industrial sectors. Due to their functionalities and standards, models are now becoming more dynamic and adaptive to follow, autonomously, technological and machine evolutions. One of these new technologies is the accessibility of the 5G network which is becoming a faster highway in the digital world. It presents an opportunity to design new models under IoT concept, integrating 5G devices with the data security of the blockchain. These models allow a more developed supervision of the supply chain management, in particular on the Moroccan industry
