Concerns about the marginalization of Europe in world production prompted the development of the concept of Industry 4.0, which will allow highly developed countries to regain the status of leaders in industrialization. As part of the proposed concept, which is to form the basis of the fourth industrial revolution, it is planned to closely connect physical objects with the information network. The application of new production strategies, such as Agile Manufacturing and Mass Customization, are causing manufacturing companies to be transformed into integrated networks in which they combine their core competencies. The idea of Industry 4.0 is to create sophisticated business networks, connected by intelligent resources communicating via the internet, using well-known and already used technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, cloud computing, etc. As a result of applying these solutions, autonomous systems exchange data between themselves and the boundaries between enterprises are disappearing more and more. Therefore, the aim of the article is to identify key challenges of today's logistics (called Logistics 4.0) in the perspective of the development of the industry concept 4.0.

Keywords: Industry 4.0, Logistics 4.0, production networks management, Internet of Things (IoT)
