In the last period, logistics knew a strong technological evolution that has changed the way it operates and determined its transformation into innovative logistics, especially in the case of internal logistics. Innovation in internal logistics processes and systems consists in the use of different Industry 4.0 and digitization technologies. So, it is necessary to use modern methods and techniques to support the transformation of internal logistics processes and systems into innovative ones. This paper presents an analysis of recent studies, briefly presenting the evolution of the concept of logistics, the concepts of process and logistics system and Industry 4.0. Also, the most common methods and techniques used in the realization of innovative internal logistics systems are presented and some conclusions are presented regarding their use.
