io-Group: Project References- Richard Wolf New Central Warehouse

Richard Wolf – New Central Warehouse with SAP EWM

A shuttle warehouse with fully automated storage and retrieval of 34,000 containers in three lanes and 17 levels that formed the heart of the logistics center.

Project Description

Richard Wolf GmbH is a leading medical engineering firm headquartered in Knittlingen, in southwest Germany.

The company’s endoscopes have an excellent worldwide reputation for quality and innovation.
The company owes its continuous success and flourishing growth to its more than 1,400 employees, 14 subsidiaries, 130 representations, and its comprehensive portfolio of international services and trainings.

Due to the company’s constant growth rate, it was decided to expand the warehouse capacities as well as the order picking and service areas.

Richard Wolf GmbH’s intention was to consolidate the previously decentralized warehouse and logistics facilities into one central warehouse.
The project required three separate SAP EWM Rollouts in the USA, Singapore, and Brazil.
The SAP EWM implementation was focused on the Automotive processes with a Integration ERP landscape.

Project Results

io-consultants accompanied the project with an interdisciplinary team from logistics, IT and architecture.

The following milestones were achieved during the project:

Integration of an automatic small parts shuttle warehouse in SAP EWM.
Implementation of goods-to-man workstations with multi-order picking (Put-to-Light).
Complex packaging processes with batch and serial number recording.
The new logistics and service center was designed to ensure the efficient turnaround of new products and, at the same time, serve as a principal hub for customer repairs and service work.
Customer services have thus been improved through an optimized flow of goods as well as through faster processing of repairs.

A shuttle warehouse with fully automated storage and retrieval of around 34,000 containers in three lanes and 17 levels forms the heart of the logistics center.
