An example with SAP

The functions of the Hänel control system are available in the SAP development environment: 

The structure of the Hänel lifts is mapped in SAP WM or EWM (e.g. the number of lifts, shelves and the number and size of the compartments).

SAP dialogs, needed at the lift controller as user dialogs, are defined.

Drive commands are generated to bring the storage location to the access opening of the lift.

No data exchange is necessary; management is handled in real time in SAP.

Optimal storage overview and inventory control.

prismat, as a certified SAP partner, and Hänel offer an effective SAP warehouse management template

A storage management template created in advance for SAP Business Suite (SAP ERP and SAP SCM) and containing standard dialogs can be included in delivery.
