Maximum transparency along the multi-stage production chain at DIEHL
Diehl Controls, one of the world’s leading suppliers of household appliances and HVAC/R, controls its autonomous mobile robots directly from SAP thanks to Flexus, thus ensuring maximum transparency in the multi-stage production chain.
As part of the automation of material and production flows at the Wangen site, we have created an end-to-end connection between SAP and the autonomous MiR robots. With the help of our solution, which is seamlessly integrated into SAP, transport orders are now generated automatically, transferred to the robots and reported back in real time.
The result is impressive:
– End-to-end WIP transparency
– Optimized routes for minimal empty runs
– Noticeable relief for employees
– Accelerated processes and efficient use of resources

Future outlook: In the future, a second elevator will also transport raw materials fully automatically – increasing the volume by a further 50%.
