This requires comprehensive know-how and the use of suitable methods for analyzing and optimizing processes, as well as the selection of the appropriate auto-ID technology and IT solutions.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore advisable to enlist the support of an experienced partner who has the necessary consulting, process and technology expertise and provides all services from a single source.<\/p>\n<h3>Processes and organization<\/h3>\n<p>Since material flow is one of the biggest cost drivers in the logistics process chain, every optimization measure starts with a material flow analysis, which investigates the weak points in the processes, their causes and then remedies them.<\/p>\n<p>Time and cost savings can be achieved by changing the picking process from \"goods to person\" to \"person to goods\", for example, or by renewing the conveyor technology.<\/p>\n<p>Organizational changes such as the cross-departmental centralization of the deployment planning of internal transports help to ensure that transport resources such as forklifts are optimally utilized and expensive empty runs are avoided.<\/p>\n<h3>Add-ons and Auto-ID<\/h3>\n<p>The IT solutions also need to be put to the test. As a rule, the standard functions of SAP logistics applications do not sufficiently support the complex, often individual processes in transport control and picking planning or the formation of picking waves - depending on the existing warehouse management software.<\/p>\n<p>This gap can be closed by SAP-based add-ons that integrate seamlessly into the SAP software, extend it with the required functions without modification - and ideally come from the consulting partner. The prerequisite for smart intralogistics is a \"real-time view\" of the internal material flow.<\/p>\n<p>This can be done, for example, with the help of Auto-ID-based, dialog-supported mobile data capture, which automatically transfers information about every goods movement to the SAP back end without the need for documents.<\/p>\n<p>This speeds up throughput times and ensures process reliability, which in turn has a positive impact on delivery reliability and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the end users' desire for a contemporary, intuitive user interface must also be taken into account. In the SAP environment, the Orbis Multi-Process Suite (MPS) is particularly suitable for this.<\/p>\n<p>The Abap-based solution is suitable for industrial use, fully integrated into SAP processes and visualizes all relevant information in an easy-to-understand form. Another plus point is the real-time processing of large volumes of data - keyword Big Data - as made possible by the in-memory database Hana.<\/p>\n<p>If all these criteria are met, nothing stands in the way of smart intralogistics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/partners\/orbis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Industry 4.0 needs smart intralogistics\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21801 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Orbis-CI-Banner.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/partners\/orbis\/\" width=\"1000\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Orbis-CI-Banner.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Orbis-CI-Banner-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Orbis-CI-Banner-100x11.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Orbis-CI-Banner-480x54.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Orbis-CI-Banner-640x72.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Orbis-CI-Banner-720x81.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Orbis-CI-Banner-960x108.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In addition to the smart factory, smart intralogistics is considered a central building block for Industry 4.0.
