Abstract
Most of the publications referred to Logistics 4.0 focus on the description of the newest technologies in contemporary supply chains applications. There are also many articles which treat Logistics 4.0 as a new paradigm. Regarding the fact that there is little amount of publications in the Polish language related to Logistics 4.0, the authors are going to fill identified research gap. Systema-tic literature review methods were used. The purpose of the research was to define Logistics 4.0 and answer whether it is a new paradigm or a set of known technical, technological and organizing solu-tions. he analysis covered domestic and foreign publications selected according to an empirical crite-rion. The literature review proved that Logistics 4.0 is not characterized by features of a new paradigm in management sciences. Logistics 4.0 is a connection of known technical, technological and organizational solutions. The only novelty is a mere connection of above solutions in a consis-tent logistics concept.
