Description
Through the processes of studying the ways and methods of logistics organization in agriculture, forestry or fruit growing, we realized that this area is not yet explored and risky, if there is a belief that the organization in agriculture, forestry, fruit growing is simply the same or at least similar to general logistics and logistics. process. How to understand this through technological developments, if we know that industry and entrepreneurship invest heavily in technological modernization of production, whose products also have an impact on agriculture, and some technology can be easily used in forestry, fruit growing and beyond. Certainly, imitation of industry is a challenge for the development of individual logistics processes in agriculture, forestry or fruit growing, because there are many links in the processing, storage or marketing of finished products. There are also many links to technology that the industry is developing for the needs of agricultural production, logging and harvesting of wood, or for cutting, harvesting and storing or processing fruit. The purpose of our research was to present, as an example of good practice, what methods of organizing logistics in agriculture, forestry or fruit growing are useful and what can be technologically modernized in order to technologically modernize these activities. In this assumption, we were faced with the question of what and which technology to use, which inevitably connected us with the study of individual work processes in agriculture, forestry or fruit growing, with ways and methods to introduce new generation 4.0 industry technology. The task is not simple, so we looked for possible solutions by studying individual elements of logistics. We were looking for phenomena and procedures where modern devices could be used in the logistics of agriculture, forestry and fruit growing, and how to assess the needs for technological, scientific or other development.
