What role does automation play in SAP warehouse solutions?

Automation is a game changer when it comes to simplifying warehousing and distribution operations. SAP solutions like EWM support integration with automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), conveyor belts, robotics, and IoT sensors. This reduces the need for manual work, minimizes errors and speeds up repetitive tasks such as picking, packing and shipping. For example, automated picking systems can dramatically reduce order fulfillment times while reducing the risk of human error. By integrating these technologies with SAP EWM, companies can increase their operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and improve the overall accuracy of warehouse operations.
