Success Story: Bilstein group Top performance every second with SAP EWM
Logistics Next Level: Since mid-2022, the bilstein group has been shipping car and commercial vehicle parts all over the world from its new logistics center in Gelsenkirchen. Behind this is a huge, highly automated intralogistics machinery on a floor area of 45,000m2, intelligently managed and controlled by SAP standard software.
IGZ acted as the SAP EWM general contractor for the intralogistics, took over the logistics planning, consistently implemented the entire mechanical and control technology as well as SAP EWM, and supports the system with an on-site service team even after the project has been completed.
Highlights of the success story
- Highly automated logistics center covering 45,000 m² with SAP EWM and MFS fully integrated
- Robot-assisted picking (“Pick by Robot”) with up to 500 picks/hour per robot
- Digital twins and simulation for early process optimization and reduced commissioning times
- Smart Logistics Cockpit (SLC) with SAP-integrated visualization, KPI dashboards, and remote fault handling
- IGZ as general contractor for planning, implementation, and onsite service – everything from a single source
