SAP EWM MFSYour key to fully automated logistics

SAP EWM MFS (Material Flow System)

Optimization of the material flow in your warehouse

An efficient and transparent material flow system is essential for modern warehouse logistics. The material flow system (MFS) from SAP with Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is a highly developed solution for controlling and optimizing all material movements in warehouses and distribution centers.
SAP EWM MFS enables direct communication between the warehouse management system and automation technology – such as conveyor systems, stacker cranes and other automated components – and ensures seamless integration of material flows in real time.

The fully automated, error-free control system optimally links warehouse processes such as goods receipt, storage, picking and dispatch. Companies benefit from a significantly more efficient use of resources, reduced sources of error and a noticeable increase in overall warehouse performance.

  • Integration of automation technology: SAP EWM MFS enables seamless connection to various automation technologies, including conveyor belts, storage and retrieval machines and automated warehouse systems
  • Real-time control of the material flow: All material movements are controlled in real time, avoiding bottlenecks and delays in warehouse operations.
  • Automated order processing: From storage to picking and retrieval, all processes are controlled automatically, improving efficiency and accuracy in the warehouse.
  • Fault detection and rectification: The system immediately detects and reports faults in the material flow, enabling problems to be rectified quickly.
  • Optimization of resource management: By precisely controlling the flow of materials, storage capacities are used optimally and resources are deployed efficiently.

  • Increased efficiency: The automation of material flows minimizes manual intervention, resulting in faster and more precise handling of warehouse processes.
  • Error reduction: Full integration into SAP EWM and the automation of processes significantly reduce the risk of errors caused by manual intervention.
  • Cost reduction: The optimization of material flows and better use of resources lead to considerable savings in operating costs and warehousing.
  • Improved transparency: SAP EWM MFS provides real-time data on stocks and material movements, enabling precise tracking and analysis at any time.
  • Scalability: The system can be flexibly adapted to the needs of the company and grows with the requirements of your company.

Unlike external material flow computers, which function as separate systems and often have to be connected to different software solutions, SAP EWM MFS is a fully integrated solution within the SAP system. This means that there are no interface problems or data inconsistencies, which can often occur with external systems. This integration means that all data and processes are available from a single source, enabling more efficient control of the material flow.
