The study aims to increase awareness levels by determining the perceptions of logistics program students regarding Industry 4.0 before they start working, to examine the acceptance of these technologies, and to accelerate technological adaptation by enabling businesses in the sector to benefit more from these applications, thereby contributing to the sector and students. Due to the limited number of studies in the literature on Industry 4.0 applications in the logistics sector, the study also aimed to contribute to the literature on this subject. In this context, 156 data were obtained from students of the Logistics Program at Uşak University through a survey method and analyzed. The results of the analysis revealed that participants had a high level of awareness of Industry 4.0 and believed that the use of Industry 4.0 applications was easy and beneficial. It was concluded that perceived benefits, perceived ease of use, and intentions to use would increase usage behavior. Additionally, it was determined that intentions to use played a full mediating role in the relationship between perceived benefits and usage behavior. Having a high level of awareness about Industry 4.0 applications will be beneficial for both themselves and their businesses. Additionally, when they begin working, they can contribute to the competitiveness and development of logistics businesses by promoting the widespread use of these applications..
