Resumen

This systematic review examines the transformative role of emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing the operational efficiency and sustainability of textile supply chains. Using a hybrid methodology based on the PICO framework and PRISMA protocol, 45 relevant studies were selected from an initial pool of 1723 records published between 2020 and 2024. Key technologies analyzed include IoT, blockchain, RFID, advanced manufacturing, automation, and digital modeling. These innovations demonstrated substantial improvements in traceability, reverse logistics, waste reduction, and demand response, resulting in enhanced visibility, cost savings, and sustainability across the supply chain. However, the findings also reveal barriers such as limited adoption in diverse geographic contexts, hindering scalability. The study highlights the urgent need to foster partnerships between industry, academia, and governments to scale textile logistics technologies. In Latin America, it is recommended to develop accessible and scalable solutions, applying blockchain, IoT, and AI to promote traceability, sustainability, and ethical and resilient supply chains.
