In the context of Industry 4.0, there is a gradual adaptation of emerging technologies to business processes. Within this context, the objective is to identify and analyze the research topics of the publications that address the Internet of Things (IoT) in logistics and the supply chain; for which the Scopus database was consulted between 2009 and 2021, selecting the 50 documents with the highest number of citations, and then categorizing and analyzing them into three common thematic topics, identified according to their object of study: implementation of IoT in the chain supply and logistics; usefulness of the IoT and other emerging technologies; and IoT in the agricultural and food supply chain. The interest in investigating the benefits and challenges of IoT, and its applications in the industrial, automotive, retail, pharmaceutical, transportation, energy, medical care, marketing, reverse logistics, food, agricultural, footwear, textile and postal sectors is concluded. Articulated to technologies such as RFID, cloud computing, geopositioning, sensors, cyber-physical systems, telematics and mobile devices; for identification, communication and monitoring processes that improve real-time traceability between actors and objects in the chain, to have accurate information, reduce costs and be more efficient.
