The development of innovative information and communication technologies (ICT) and their implementation can contribute to greater efficiency of all logistic process elements. Industry 4.0 concept is focused on the implementation of ICT in logistic processes. Specific elements (warehouse, human, information) can be implemented in smart environment for efficient conduction of logistic processes. By defining workers requirements, analysis of ICT (sensors, RFID, NFC, Zigbee, IWN) and analysis of current ICT solutions (applications and devices), conceptual informing system architecture was proposed. The proposed architecture is based on IoT concept whose elements can provide object identification (packages, pallets, products) processes, automatization and data processing and storage. The concept uses Cloud Computing, IoT and specific sensor technologies depending on the simulation scenarios for the purpose of data collection, processing and storage. Security threats are shown as well as protection methods suggestions. Keywords: Industrial Wireless Network, Smart Warehouse, Identification technology 1 Introduction and previous research Industry 4.0 concept is focused on the implementation of ICT in business, development and manufacturing processes. It refers on the expansion of digital technologies in the fields of logistics and industry, especially sensor technologies in IoT environment for real-time data collection and processing [1]. Market requirements and development of innovative technologies changes the ways of conducting business processes of manufacturing organizations and creating smart factories and warehouses. Currently available research highlights the importance of IoT concept in the field of data collection and real-time information delivery [2]. According to Gartner, by 2020 there will be 20.4 billion of IoT devices worldwide [3]. Smart warehouses use RFID, barcode, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and video surveillance to obtain insight on warehousing the products/pallets, their identification, location and tracking input and output products/pallets [4]. of sensor technology development, type and quantity of collected data is significantly increasing [5]. Warehouse management is one of the key elements in logistic processes and Smart Warehouse Management System (WMS) has different functionalities, depending on the warehouse functionalities. One of the most important segments of the system process for warehouse management requirements is to reduce the time that packages/pallets/products spend in the warehouse [6]. From the point of product users/customers, they need to be informed about the product status and its location in warehouse in real-time which affects on the ways that the products are moved and stored in warehouse [7], [8]. Since the central warehouse connects MMS 2018, November 06-08, Dubrovnik, Croatia Copyright © 2018 EAI DOI 10.4108/eai.6-11-2018.2279105
