About the service
Mobile supply chain
RF mobile applications remove information barriers and shorten operation times across the supply chain. Barcode scanning and integration with SAP EWM reduce errors in real-time data exchange.
Benefits
Service benefits
Precise delivery control at every stage
Error elimination through barcode scanning
Faster shipments and higher throughput
Full digitalization of warehouse processes
RF application capabilities
Controlling warehouse operations via mobile devices and SAP EWM.
Receiving processes
- Seamless unit receipt - receiving handling units (HUs) by ASN number without paper documentation
- Unloading and deconsolidation - efficient splitting of deliveries and preparing goods for further handling
- Put-away - guiding the operator step by step to the correct storage locations
Outbound processes
- System-directed picking - precise goods retrieval with optimized routing through the warehouse
- Packing and consolidation - recording packed handling units and preparing shipments
- Loading and shipment confirmation - completeness checks and loading confirmation on the mobile device
Labor management
- Intelligent work queue - system-driven selection of priority tasks and balanced operator workload
- Resource and workforce management - assigning operators to queues and resource groups
- Ad-hoc task creation - flexibly adding tasks and quickly responding to current shortages
Control and queries
- System queries and statuses - quick insight into stock levels and current process information
- Handling unit (HU) verification - checking serial numbers and batches via barcode scanning
- Discrepancy and exception handling - recording mismatches and correcting quantities directly at the point of work
Implementation
We deliver RF mobile application implementation in stages - from analyzing warehouse processes, through configuring scenarios in SAP EWM and piloting in a selected area, to full-scale rollout. Each stage concludes with a review of performance and data quality.
Analysis
We analyze the flow of warehouse operations and identify the areas where mobility will deliver the greatest benefits.
Configuration
We configure mobile transactions and RF scenarios in SAP EWM and tailor them to your actual inbound and outbound processes.
Pilot
We launch the mobile applications in a selected warehouse area and verify the correctness of operations and data exchange.
Training
We train operators on using the devices and guide them through the new processes until they work fully independently.
Rollout
We roll out the solution at full scale and extend support to all locations and process types.
