This article will investigate the suitability of the Unified Modelling Language (UML) for requirements analysis of autonomous logistic processes by a logistics domain expert. Such a model is the basis for subsequent implementation of the system consisting of software engineering and hardware configuration. Relevant parts of UML will be used to model an exemplary scenario which will form the basis to derive benefits and drawbacks of using the UML in this context. Suggestions on how the identified gaps can be filled will be presented in the paper.
