Digital quantum leap in the Ländle.
The digitalisation of processes at Mayer & Cie. began with status C. However, as always, the path to automated and largely paperless warehouse and production logistics started with a detailed analysis of the current situation. Together with the project managers at Mayer & Cie., status C then developed a completely revised picking and putaway strategy to cope with the increased complexity. SAP WM was also introduced into the plant, along with the smart warehouse lift integration status C connect:IT and - primarily in goods receipt - the mobile solution for paperless data capture status C scan:IT. This made stock discrepancies in the manual process a thing of the past.
Optimisation knows no business hours.
The standards-based solutions from status C can be mapped directly in SAP and are ready for immediate use after a short customising phase. In the case of Mayer & Cie, however, over 5,000 storage locations first had to be manually decoded, translated and made recordable in SAP WM before things could get started. In a night-time rush, the company migrated everything it could over the weekend so that operations could continue as usual on the following Monday - only more efficiently and fully digitised. The fact that this migration marathon was so lengthy that those responsible at Mayer & Cie. and status C were locked in the factory premises and had to be freed by the cleaning staff is only mentioned on the side.
