Abstract: The global supply chain landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by rapid technological advancements and growing demands for efficiency, speed, and sustainability. Smart logistics hubs have emerged as a central innovation, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and cloud-based warehouse systems to optimize transportation, inventory, and distribution. These intelligent hubs enhance end-to-end visibility, automate material handling, and ensure real-time responsiveness to dynamic supply chain conditions. This paper explores the core components, infrastructure requirements, implementation challenges, and future trends of smart logistics hubs. It also analyzes global best practices and evaluates the Indian context in terms of infrastructure readiness, policy initiatives, and scope for innovation. As the world leans toward digital transformation and carbon neutrality, smart logistics hubs are becoming vital to resilient and green supply chain ecosystems.
