Connection of automated warehouses

In times of same-day delivery, integrated cooperation between warehouse, production and shipping is indispensable. The automated warehouse serves as a buffer for production and should be available with the right quantities of goods at all times. A connection of the automated warehouse increases the speed enormously, as travel times are reduced. Choosing the right picking system, such as pick-by-light, put-to-light or pick-by-voice, increases efficiency and process quality. An automated warehouse combines the advantages of space-saving automated storage with a higher throughput of goods movements compared to a manual warehouse. Long transport routes and high consolidation costs can be reduced. Your orders can therefore be processed more quickly and goods are delivered earlier or are ready for production more quickly.

Benefits

  • Space saving storage
  • Higher throughput of goods movement
  • Avoidance of long transport routes
  • Low consolidation effort
  • Reduction of missing parts
  • Process cost reduction for assembly and KITs
  • Pre-picking and buffering of requirements in the automated warehouse
  • Reduction of buffer areas in production
  • Higher output with unchanged personnel capacities
  • Monitoring of the maturing process
  • Optimal material supply according to the demand from production

SAP EWM MFS

With Material Flow Control (MFS), SAP provides a solution integrated into Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that directly controls automated warehouse technology. The system communicates directly with conveyor belts, the high-bay warehouse or driverless transport systems via so-called telegrams. This eliminates the need to connect third-party systems or material flow computers, which considerably simplifies the IT landscape and reduces the number of interfaces.
