Towards Industry 4.0

The Franz Morat Group, manufacturer of high-quality gears, worm gear sets and drive solutions, commissioned the international business, consulting and software company Orbis with the implementation of SAP WM and Orbis MPS.

Thanks to the practical consulting and process expertise of the intralogistics experts from Orbis and the collaborative partnership between all parties involved, the implementation in the incoming goods department and assembly warehouse at the main plant in Eisenbach was completed in three months.

The benefits of digital intralogistics processes with dialog-supported mobile data capture, including paperless information flow and automated bookings, became apparent immediately after commissioning.

All goods movements, from goods receipt and transportation to receipt in the assembly warehouse, can now be controlled efficiently, transparently and reliably. Thanks to a clear view of missing parts, the time-consuming search for required but unavailable components is no longer necessary. Intralogistics processes have been accelerated as a result.
