As a result of new challenges such as flexible, adaptable manufacturing systems and customized products, the complexity of new technologies for digital transformation and Industry 4.0 [36] is increasing. In this context, logistics and additive manufacturing are seen as two out of nine future technologies for modern production industries. For future developments it is crucial to find effective and flexible approaches for the connection of heterogeneous systems and, above all, data structures. A promising approach is concerned with the interoperable connection of these complex structures. The first approach to be described in the paper deals with the smart interoperable connection of systems in the domain of logistics.
