## 1 Introduction  
The phenomenon of globalization and technological advances linked to information are a medallion with two sides, a reality with both risks and opportunities for companies in general and especially for manufacturers [1]. The fourth industrial revolution, commonly known as \"Industry 4.0\", represents the newest era of industrial transformation by introducing the digitalization of processes and the automation of production models; this new phase of manufacturing industry merges the latest information technologies with the various production processes and more precisely the logistics ones [2]. [PERSON] et. al. argue that the heart of the Industry 4.0 paradigm is to make a significant contribution to the management of the various aspects of logistics. Interestingly, shortly after the emergence of the concept of Industry 4.0, the term \"Logistics 4.0\" came along and was coined to signal a flexible implementation of logistics processes aimed at managing production [3]. The current global context is full of competitive environments and ecological concerns, accompanied by the evolution of the needs expressed by customers as well as by new technologies; companies find themselves struggling to reconsider their way of doing things, and to make the most of competitive advantages of digitizing their activities, processes, and supply chain while establishing the vision of sustainability with little harmful impact on the environment. Industry 4.0 has brought much turbulence and disruption to the strategic and organizational visions of entities [4]. The digital technologies offered by the fourth industrial revolution increase, among other things, responsiveness in the event of fluctuations in demand and improve flexibility in the face of limited capacities while reducing lead times thanks to additive manufacturing and at the same time increasing the control of stocks. This further proves the inherent impact of Industry 4.0 on industrial logistics [5]. With the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technologies have concretely demonstrated their importance and above all their potential in the industrial sector, playing an active and crucial role in the provision of the necessary logistics and transport services by managing supply and demand medical equipment, a limited resource in times of crisis; geographic information systems (GIS) and big data analytics have been used to support decision-making [6; 7]. The impact of Industry 4.0 technologies on the various logistics operations can be felt on several links, ranging from optimized resource planning and warehouse management systems to intelligent transport systems, where the security of information and data is becoming increasingly important [8; 9]. The adoption of technologies within logistics, a transversal function of companies, arouses great interest, especially with the digitization of manufacturing, marketing, transport, and warehousing processes based on the interconnectivity and integration technologies of Industry 4.0 [10]. At the level of this new phase of the industrial revolution, there has been a migration towards the digitization of production processes, transport systems, sourcing, and procurement by relying on intelligent and connected digital technologies such as cloud computing, IoT, big data analytics, and blockchain, which facilitate the development of intelligent supply chains [5; 11]. Table 1 portrays a brief overview of previous studies that have analyzed and examined the impact of digital technologies on the logistics performance of companies. According to [PERSON] (2020), the efficiency of logistics operations represents one of the main enablers of digital transformation and the economic development of countries and regions [18]. The guiding question of our research focuses on the link between Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0? Does Logistics 4.0 require the exploitation of Industry 4.0 technologies? Does the adoption of Logistics 4.0 allow companies to migrate to Industry 4.0?
