%0 Journal Article %T DEVELOPMENTS OF INDUSTRY 4.0 IN TRAILER SECTOR AND EFFECTS OF THE TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS BASED ON THE INTERNET OF THINGS TO THE LOGIST£¿CS SECTOR %A Erkan £¿ak£¿ro£¿lu %A Ferhat Yi£¿it %A Gizem Bacak %J - %D 2018 %X Industry 4.0 is a project of encouraging traditional industry to digitalize and equipping it with high technology. However, it has created more efficient business models, as it allows each data to be collected and analyzed in an effective way in the working environment. In this study, the applications of Industry 4.0, which aims to increase efficiency with high technology equipment of the trailers and it¡¯s effects on the logistics sector were researched. In this context, fleet management operations, trailer failures and maintenance processes, logistics operations and behaviors of the drivers were researched. These existing processes which we researched and Industry 4.0 applications which is suitable to trailer sector were compared. After these inference we obtained, the efficiency increases as equally as amount of data which is acquired from trailer and tremendous advantages were revealed on the logistics sector which contains all the processes from the manufacturer to the end user. When the obtained data was analyzed, technological advancements are inevitable in logistics companies which endeavours with efficiency expectations. These much-needed technological advancements will be provided by trailers. Together with this technological opportunities, trailer companies needs to start studies on transition between product based model and product and solution based model. These advancements on the trailer sector will turn commercial product into transportation solution. Based upon Internet of Things which is brought by Industry 4.0, digitalizating with communication between the components, enabling to troubleshoot and machine oriented systems with less human effort will become widespread %K End¨¹stri 4.0 %K Nesnelerin £¿nterneti %K Lojistik %K Treyler 4.0 %U http://dergipark.org.tr/ejovoc/issue/41199/497928
