Smart Warehousing: Leveraging SAP EWM for End-to-End Automation
Introduction
In today’s rapidly evolving supply chain landscape, automation is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. As warehouses strive to meet growing customer demands, SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) emerges as a powerful solution for businesses to streamline operations, reduce errors, and improve efficiency.
At Artihcus , we specialize in enabling businesses to integrate automation seamlessly using SAP EWM to optimize their intralogistics and warehouse processes.
Why Automate with SAP EWM?
Automation within warehouses brings significant value. But why choose SAP EWM as the backbone for this transformation? Here’s why:
Seamless Integration with Machines & Robotics
SAP EWM integrates effortlessly with automated systems like AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), conveyor belts, and robotic picking systems. Real-time communication between these systems ensures precise and efficient operations.
Real-time Inventory Management
With automation, businesses can achieve real-time tracking of inventory movements and stock levels. SAP EWM ensures accurate visibility across the warehouse, reducing manual intervention and stock discrepancies.
Enhanced Warehouse Throughput
Automation of tasks like picking, sorting, and packing via SAP EWM increases the speed and accuracy of warehouse operations, enabling higher throughput without compromising quality.
Scalability & Flexibility
Whether you’re managing a small warehouse or a large multi-distribution center, SAP EWM’s capabilities support dynamic scalability to match your business needs and growing customer orders.
Key Automation Scenarios with SAP EWM
1. Automated Goods-to-Person (G2P) Picking
Integrating SAP EWM with robotics ensures goods are brought directly to the workstation, saving time and effort. This reduces the need for manual searching and walking within the warehouse.
2. Conveyor System Integration
SAP EWM seamlessly manages the flow of goods through conveyor systems, ensuring optimal routing and reducing delays or bottlenecks.
3. Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
With SAP EWM, automated cranes or shuttles can handle large inventory movements within high-density storage environments, boosting storage capacity and efficiency.
4. Yard and Dock Automation
SAP EWM optimizes dock scheduling, trailer movements, and yard management using smart sensors and digital workflows, ensuring smooth inbound and outbound operations.
