Purpose The aim of this research is to summarize the relevant literature discussing the use of immersive technologies namely augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR) and smart glasses in smart warehouse management in line with industry 4.0. Design/methodology/approach We have used Systematic Literature Review (SLR) for peer-reviewed articles (2008-2023). These articles were chosen by using Scopus and Web of Science and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) filter in Web of Science. Findings For 61 % of the studied articles, experimentation seems to be the preferred method used by researchers to better understand the consequences of applying immersive technologies. Augmented reality is prominent in the order-picking activity (10 articles out of 39 discuss order-picking directly), and more specifically, the impact of smart glasses on saving time and leveraging the physical and mental workload. It is worth mentioning that the gamification of warehouses seems to be an emerging concept that allows for a considerable increase in productivity as well as the degree of acceptance when it comes to implementing Augmented Reality in warehousing. Research limitations/implications This article's limitation is mainly related to the final number of the chosen articles as well as the lack of software usage to conduct Systematic Literature Review. Original/value This paper aspires to serve as a layout for decision-makers to understand the implications of using immersive technologies in order to better embrace their usage in warehouse management. To the best of our knowledge, no research paper has ever investigated the use of immersive technology on warehousing management through a Systematic Literature Review.

With the ever-increasing threat of climate change and global warming, ways to make energy intensive buildings, such as cold storage warehouses essential for food preservation, more sustainable need to be found. Some refrigerated warehouse owners may be unaware or unsure of the benefits obtainable from implementing sustainable practices and technologies. To search for innovations that could inform the owners and managers of cold storage warehouses about how to enhance their sustainability, convergent interviewing of subject matter experts was conducted. The resulting practices and processes were organized into a hierarchy that ranged from essential to best practices that can be implemented to improve the sustainability of refrigerated warehouses. Examples of these practices and technologies include ideal refrigeration systems, racking methods, and insulation types. To encourage the use of sustainable practices and technologies, more reporting on successful or unsuccessful applications of practices and technologies needs to be communicated. Applying change diagnostic tools such as convergent interviewing enables a practical and industry focused set of outcomes to be determined that can help drive change towards more sustainable cold storage warehouses in Australia.

Warehouse operations cover activities that must be carried out systematically. Warehouse management systems (WMS) are needed for successful warehouse management. With digitalization, alternative software programs for WMS have increased. In this study, the selection of the WMS software program for the general warehouse type is discussed. The main motivation of the research is to develop a suitable alternative selection methodology based on criteria for warehouse managers. The research is carried out in several stages. In the first stage, the software selection criteria are determined based on the literature review. In the second stage, the criteria are weighted with the criteria importance through the intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) method based on single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs). In the third stage, alternatives for WMS software are ranked with the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) based on SVNSs. Three decision-makers, four alternatives, and eight criteria are used in the study. The empirical research is conducted on a warehouse providing general storage services in Turkey. In addition, the sensitivity analyses are performed and the results are compared. According to the research findings, the most valuable criterion in WMS software selection is determined as "ease of use". As a result of the research, suggestions are developed for WMS software manufacturers, warehouse managers, and researchers. The novelty of this research is that WMS selection is applied for the first time using multi-criteria decision-making methods.

In fulfillment centers, efficient inbound transportation and goods storage are crucial factors that impact overall performance and supply chain costs. Traditional processes often involve human workers performing repetitive tasks, leading to increased expenses. This study presents a Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) approach that combines unmanned Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) with manned forklift vehicles to automate these processes and minimize costs. The primary objectives are to model AGV-based unmanned inbound transportation, design a manned traveling forklift problem (TFP) with a shortest path algorithm, and compare the MUM-T approach to traditional methods in terms of distance, time, and cost. Results from theoretical analysis and simulations show that the MUM-T approach can reduce traveling distance, working hours, and operational costs by up to 32%, 38%, and 51%, respectively. Moreover, the proposed algorithm enables Beginner and Intermediate -level forklift operators to achieve efficiency comparable to that of Professionals . These findings indicate that implementing the MUM-T approach can significantly enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of inbound transportation and forklift processes in fulfillment centers.
