        abstract = {The rapid growth of automated material handling and logistics operations in industrial setups has increased the complexity of intra-plant movements, resulting in heightened safety risks. Traditional safety systems—based on static signage and human supervision—are inadequate for mitigating dynamic hazards arising from vehicle movements, process interactions, and human traffic. This research explores the adoption of a Connected Vehicle (Vehicle 360°) Command Center system tailored for intra-plant logistics safety, integrating real-time sensor data, vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, and predictive risk analytics. Using a mixed-method design involving structured surveys, observational field data, and command-center performance metrics, the study evaluates system efficacy in reducing accidents, near misses, and operation delays. Findings suggest that integration of connected vehicle technologies markedly improves operational transparency and safety outcomes, while highlighting challenges related to infrastructure investment and workforce adaptation. The research contributes empirical evidence to the smart factory safety literature and provides recommendations for implementation best practices.},
