The application standards of modern logistics are divided into:
① The standard for automatic identification and sorting tracking technology includes barcode technology, scanning technology, and radio frequency technology. The barcode technology standards mainly include code system standards and barcode identification standards.
② Electronic data interchange standards mainly include electronic data interchange syntax standards and electronic data interchange message standards. The grammar standards for international electronic data interchange are developed by the Fourth Working Group of the United Nations European related units.  
In the current information age, the development direction of modern logistics should be: systematization, informatization, socialization, standardization, and integration. Professor Osamu Nishizawa from Waseda University, known as the "Logistics Iceberg Theory," has proposed many methods to solve the accounting of logistics in modern enterprises. For example, in modern enterprise accounting systems, "logistics costs" are listed separately to calculate the 70% of hidden costs hidden under the iceberg. This way, social forces and the awakening of enterprises can be utilized to awaken their logistics capabilities. It can be said that this is the fundamental solution for Chinese enterprise logistics to move closer to modern logistics
