Streamline your smart warehouse operations with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
The solution, built on SAP BTP, seamlessly integrates SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) with advanced automation technologies such as robotic picking systems, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), and sophisticated conveyor belts. This integration greatly enhances operational efficiency in warehouses by streamlining processes, accelerating dispatch times, reducing the likelihood of human errors, and cutting labor costs.
Overview
Improve efficiency and safety in warehouse operations
AGVs can perform repetitive tasks with high precision and speed, leading to improved efficiency in warehouse operations. They can navigate through narrow aisles, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing the risk of accidents or damage to goods.
Boost inventory accuracy and real-time visibility
The solution ensures accurate and real-time inventory tracking. AGVs can update the system when goods are picked, packed, or moved, enabling businesses to have better control over their inventory management.
Reduce labor costs and minimize errors by automating material handling
By automating material handling tasks, businesses can reduce labor costs and minimize errors in warehouse operations. AGVs can operate 24/7, eliminating the need for shift-based work and optimizing resource utilization.

Features
Seamless integration with SAP S/4HANA Extended Warehouse Management
The solution integrates SAP S/4HANA Extended Warehouse Management and AGVs seamlessly via SAP BTP. A two-way message flow ensures tasks are sent to the AGV hub, with acknowledgments received back in SAP S/4HANA. AGVs can be programmed to auto pick, pack, and transport items within the warehouse.
Track and monitor the movement and location of goods in real time
Smart warehouse and AGV integration enables real-time visibility and tracking of inventory levels. This allows businesses to accurately monitor stock levels, plan for replenishment, and minimize stockouts or overstocks.
Leverage data-driven decision-making for warehouse operations
Use the heatmap analysis to reorganize inventory, placing high-turnover items closer to the packing area to reduce travel time. Assess overall efficiency gains in the warehouse, such as increased throughput and reduced operational costs.
