IoT-Driven Supply Chain Optimization in Industrial Engineering

Abstract

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into supply chain management has revolutionized industrial engineering by enhancing real-time visibility, automation, and decision-making capabilities. This paper explores the transformative impact of IoT technologies on supply chain optimization, focusing on key areas such as inventory management, predictive maintenance, and logistics. Through a comprehensive review of current literature and case studies, the paper identifies the benefits, challenges, and future directions of IoT implementation in supply chains. The findings underscore the necessity for strategic planning and technological investment to fully leverage IoT's potential in achieving efficient and resilient supply chains.
