Success Story: Rehau On the road to success with automation and SAP EWM
In Triptis, Thuringia, polymer specialist REHAU has added two automated warehouses to its intralogistics system. But that's not all: the automation highlight of the material flow are autonomous transport robots controlled by SAP EWM/MFS.
They are also part of the scope of services provided by the general contractor IGZ, which implemented the control technology including direct control of the automated warehouses and transport robots with SAP EWM/MFS as a coherent overall solution in addition to the mechanical systems. The project was successfully completed in 2021.

- Move by Robots: SAP-controlled, autonomous transport robots replace forklift traffic and relieve employees
- Two new automated warehouses with 15,400 storage locations and direct SAP EWM/MFS connection
- SAP EWM template rollout worldwide - flexibly adaptable and can be used across locations
- Smart Logistics Cockpit: real-time transparency across all processes with alerts and dashboards in SAP Fiori
- Digital twins for tests: ensuring system performance even before commissioning
