Abstract—Over the past few years, information and communications technology has developed rapidly and has been applied in many industries. In particular, cloud data connectivity has been recognized as an essential competency of the 21st century. With the increasing need to have flexible working practices and immediate availability of information, data transfer tends to be based on cloud communication. Traditional logistic information systems (LISs) are often run on local servers, and users are constrained by place and time during executing logistic activities. Hence, logistics as a service (LaaS) has recently attracted a lot of attention. In this study, we propose a cloud-based intelligent control system (CICS) for logistics automation. This system consists of three parts: data-acquisition, supervisory control, and data visualization. It can be employed to manage production facilities and logistic activities of a retailer in order to increase LaaS efficiency.
