Abstract:
Modern logistic is characterized by a lot of automatization, interdisciplinarity and the need of flexible and adaptable processes. In future, reaching competitive production companies must be focused on smart and flexible technologies and systems. However, there are many heterogeneous systems and the whole solution of processes are crucial to integrate. Producers often require a whole concept for integration various technologies in companies to get a smart process and in the end a smart production. Therefore, the connection and especially the smart interaction between these heterogeneous logistical objects become more and more important. The objects should be autonomous, smart and connected in an interoperable way in a nearly decentralized logistical environment. The paper thereby addresses the following aspects: First, a short introduction with focus on the important role of logistic and interoperability in the context of Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical-systems (CPS). After a definition and introduction of interoperability, the relation to semantic technologies is presented. Finally, a research approach in progress for a smart interoperable logistic environment are partially shown and in conclusion aspects for further research activities are outlined.
