Abstract

The logistics world is looking for Speed, Accuracy, and Flexibility, but many warehouses fall short due to poor data integration and visibility in real time. The shipping monitor and shipment stage lane monitor are a unified diaper and human cockpit that digitizes the shipping process in SAP EWM. The paper discusses the design, development, and implementation of this cockpit. The answer solves critical pain points such as unreliable stock availability indicators, complex coordination of the automated Material Flow System (MFS), and inefficient staging lane management. In a Fiori app, we consolidate vital data that enables warehouse operators to progress into a more proactive role. As a result of this earlier detection, they can prevent delays and errors from occurring in the workflow, optimize resource streams, and prevent errors in shipment. This template provides a model for digital transformation, showing how system adaptations can enhance the human role in highly automated logistics.
