Success Story: Hilti Retrofit, Expansion and SAP EWM from a single source
In order to adapt the Regional Distribution Center Oberhausen (ROCD), the largest DC in the Hilti logistics network, to future market requirements, the tool manufacturer has invested in an extensive retrofit and expansion project. The logistics processes were made future-proof and adaptable and the plant technology was expanded in terms of capacity.
The warehouse IT was also sustainably modernized with the introduction of SAP EWM. Hilti implemented all measures with the experience and know-how of IGZ as SAP EWM general contractor.
Highlights of the success story
- 5-step retrofit & migration concept – secure implementation during ongoing operations without downtime
- SAP EWM integration including AZP, dynamic picking area, and pick face profiling
- Smart Logistics Cockpit with SAP Fiori – real-time KPIs, plant visualization, and alert monitoring
- Global SAP EWM template – basis for rollouts at over 20 international Hilti locations
- Mechanical and control technology upgrade – from S5 to S7/TIA, from Profibus to Profinet for future-proof IT
