Roboteon, a provider of a software platform for successfully enabling warehouse robotics, announced that will benefit SAP EWM customers considering robots and other automation in their operations.
The Roboteon Fulfillment Platform has been integrated to SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) via Warehouse Control Units Interfaces (WCU). Roboteon has also achieved SAP certification as part of the RISE with on SAP S/4HANA Cloud program.
The interfaces built by Roboteon to EWM were certified in June by the SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) after a rigorous testing process.
Integration will help SAP EWN customers
“We are proud and excited to achieve this certification,” said Gana Govind, CEO of Roboteon. “We have built a powerful fulfillment platform that can be leveraged by SAP EWM customers considering adoption of robots and other types of warehouse automation.”
The Roboteon Fulfillment Platform is designed to handle different types of deployments, such as fully or semi-automated distribution environments, and scenarios where EWM is tightly or loosely coupled with automation equipment such as robots.
“Roboteon's AI-based solution framework provides powerful tools for companies to plan, simulate, design or re-engineer their automation journey now and for the future,” Govin added.
SAP customers will benefit from the integration through the ability to use the combination of the order fulfillment strategies offered upstream by EWM and optimized execution downstream by Roboteon, routing EWM warehouse orders and tasks to the right automation pools, depending on real-time conditions.
Those automation pools include AMRs, robotic picking, ASRS and other high-density storage and picking systems.
While Roboteon's certified high performance EWM-WCU interface currently provides the offering using standard IDOC integration, it also provides a growth path for future technologies such as API-based integration available for SAP S/4 S/4HANA Cloud.
