Migration tools Which tools are available? Where can you learn it? What are the take-aways?
Standard tools available for migration WM to EWM (customizing) Customizing settings can be migrated Warehouse layout Storage types Storage sections Bin types/hu types Doors/staging areas Picking areas Cross setting Queues determination Process types Strategies Putaway strategies Picking strategies Replenishment strategies 10
Standard tools available for migration WM to EWM (application) Standard tools allow to migrate Storage bins Storage bins Storage bin sorting Product data Stocks Warehouse views Fixed bin assignments Pack. Spec. based on palletization Pack. Spec. Based on altern. UoM Unpacked stocks (non SU, non HU) Batch managed products Special stocks (sales order stock, project stock) WM stock with storage units WM stock with handling units WM stock with handling units & SN s 11
Where can you learn it? EWM950 workshop For details: https://training.sap.com Search term: EWM950 Dual delivery: 2 modes in parallel Classroom training Via Skype 12
Take-away for WM to EWM migration Standard tools are available to migrate customizing Standard tools are available to migrate master data and stocks Follow a 2 days workshop EWM950 to learn it Migration tools work between ERP and sidecar EWM Migration tools work between S/4HANA and embedded EWM The result of a migration is a basic EWM. Additional functionalities can be activated on top to obtain an advanced EWM. WM developments cannot be taken over as such. Try back to standard EWM functionality first, before activating BADI s in EWM. Migration is just one option, a greenfield EWM implementation is the other alternative. Assess what is the best option for you before you start. 13
SAP Leonardo Proof of concepts with EWM Integration

Real Time Truck Planning and Automated Yard Management in EWM SCP IOT services used to communicate with sensors and trigger actions in EWM Sensors trigger automatic door assignment in EWM based on product type when Truck is at the vicinity of the warehouse SAP CLOUD PLATFORM Truck Driver notified on his mobile with planned door information Automatic arrival at checkpoint on TU in EWM when truck checks in at gate. Truck Driver notified on his mobile with door or parking lot information Backend System EWM 2 Truck Driver App Automatic TU Arrival at door in EWM, once truck is parked at door. Automatic TU Departure from door once truck leaves the door Automatic task creation to parking lot in EWM if door not available. Automatic task to door from parking lot once door becomes available Monitor for the Supervisor to track the trucks movements 5 D o o r Parking Lot Parking Lot D o o r 4 6 Parking Lot Parking Lot 1 3 Warehouse Supervisor Monitor 16
Travel distance calculation via connected forklifts Connected forklifts solution offered by Bosch. Forklifts are tracked via Iot on Bosch Iot Cloud and SAP Hana Cloud Platform (SCP) From SCP captured data bin coordinates are derived in EWM and travel lanes are calculated. Advantage: automatic update of X-Y-Z coordinates at bin level which facilitates the network generation. 17
Using machine learning to predict planned workload for warehouse tasks Current labor management: Planned working time is calculated via complex ELS customizing (ELS = engineering labor standards) Planned workload calculation Customizing settings Planned workload Adjust planned workload accuracy Operator complaints Correct planned workload calculations (even retroactively) Future scope: Operator driven corrections Manual ELS change Execution of actual task Monitor planned & actual Corrections based on human input Corrections based on machine learning More reliable planned workload Future scope: Planned workload is estimated via LDP (Labor demand planning) based on HANA predictive capabilities Historical data Aggregated Aggregated forecast forecast based on past execution data Fully automated ELS change Machine learning Improved planned workload calculation Individual forecast of planned workload for warehouse tasks Future idea: Machine learning for determining planned workload 18 18
Drone based physical inventory Example of a full pallet warehouse requiring frequent counting. Let drones fly through the aisles and scan or record all readable barcodes for pallets and bins. Analyze the data on SCP and using API management, generate ad hoc physical inventory documents in an EWM backend system. Advantage: fully automated physically inventory process 19 19
Control AGV in EWM using Leonardo Example of a fetch robots usage in EWM. Fetch robots are linked via the cloud connected to the SAP clould platform (SCP = HCP) From SCP using API management, instructions are exchanged with EWM. Advantage: automatic guided vehicles can be directly controlled out of EWM, without need for additional middleware 20 20
