As a result of digitization, logistics objects and systems are increasingly being equipped with information and communication technologies, which is accompanied by new functionalities. Such smart objects enable a high-resolution representation of processes within a supply chain and support their control. At the same time, the variations in the technical design and integration are increasing. For the handling of complexity, an approach for a systematic structuring of objects in logistics with regard to function, structure and dependencies is presented.
