Abstract

The complex integration of Industry 4.0 technologies into micro and small logistics enterprises presents profound adoption barriers stemming from severe resource constraints. Navigating the inherent difficulties of fragmented regional networks, this study constructs a dual driven framework combining lightweight digital empowerment with industry standardization to facilitate scalable and high resilience operations. Rather than assuming linear technological diffusion, we formulate advanced mathematical models including mixed integer programming for cost optimization and continuous time Markov chains for risk evolution, revealing the underlying mechanisms of supply chain resilience. Empirical analyses utilizing operational datasets indicate that algorithmic synergy and standardized data protocols substantially improve order processing efficiency while reducing comprehensive logistics costs. However, considering the potential sample biases inherent in regional data, these sustainability outcomes might also reflect variations in external policy support to some extent. This leads us to further thinking regarding the scalability of such models across divergent economic contexts. Ultimately, the successful technology transfer of these lightweight systems to numerous enterprises demonstrates profound practical significance. Further research is needed to explore the multidimensional variables influencing longitudinal technological assimilation in sustainable supply chain management.
