This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of logistics from its beginnings (Logistics 1.0) to the emerging Logistics 5.0. The evolution reflects the industrial revolutions, with innovative technologies and approaches used at each stage to meet changing market demands. AI characterizes Logistics 5.0 as a transformative technology with three key pillars: human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. Humans are at the center of the development of systems that focus on the needs of people, whether they are customers or operators. Sustainability focuses on reducing environmental impact through initiatives such as reverse logistics and circular economy principles [Montes-Pineda & Garrido-Yserte, Artificial intelligence and business transformation: Impact in HR management, innovation and solutions challenges (pp. 41–59). Springer Nature. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-58704-7_3 (2024)]. Resilience refers to maintaining operations despite disruption, which is particularly important given recent global supply chain challenges.

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of logistics from its beginnings (Logistics 1.0) to the emerging Logistics 5.0. The evolution reflects the industrial revolutions, with innovative technologies and approaches used at each stage to meet changing market demands.
