INTRODUCTION
In today's increasingly volatile business environment, the supply chain ecosystem is becoming more fragile and difficult to manage due to the ever-growing complexities in its interlinked functions such as planning, procurement, production, logistics, distribution, and sales. Organizations have started embarking on Industry 4.0 technologies in form of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, automation and robotics, the Internet of Things, Big Data Analytics, Blockchain, and so on to make faster decisions, optimize current practices, provide end-to-end transparency, increase collaboration, and superior warehouse management, which can collectively make it an Intelligent supply chain.

Products, transportation equipment, and tools cooperate in order to create better each following production steps (Banyai et al 2022). Industry 4.0 leads to the connectivity of the virtual world and physical objects in the real world.
