SAP EWM UX and mobile technology. Streamlining warehouse workforces
The Solution
To achieve their goals, our client turned to their specialist SAP Digital Supply Chain and mobile technology partner, Rocket, to propose an approach to work seamlessly as part of their SAP transformation programme, which included implementing SAP EWM and SAP TM by Rocket.
The proposed approach follows Rocket's best practice for creating high-performance mobile workforces by bringing together all aspects into a single turnkey solution led with the unique Rocket Design and Operational Thinking design methodology ideal for supply chain situations:
At the heart of the solution is Rocket Mobile. While retaining 100% of the standard SAP EWM functionality, configuration setup and data, Rocket Mobile improves the native EWM capability and mobile user interface.
As part of the turnkey mobile solution provided by Rocket, the following mobile devices were provided and commissioned for optimal operation with SAP EWM and Rocket Mobile UX edition:
• Honeywell CT40 handheld devices running Rocket Mobile.
• Honeywell VM1A vehicle-mounted devices running Rocket Mobile.
• Jungheinrich MHE warehouse navigation integration with SAP EWM.
The client’s goals were addressed by providing streamlined mobile processes with optimisations and user experience improvements such as:
• Streamlined, easy to use mobile interface.
• Improved menus.
• Touch screen optimised interaction and navigation.
• Improved visual user feedback.
• Informative error handling.
• Cleaner screens with no redundant data.
• Corporate branding.
