inconso implements SAP PI in the logistics

The Uelzena group with its headquarters in Uelzen and several subsidiaries in Germany and Europe is one of the leading suppliers of food and milk processing. To prepare the processes and IT in Uelzena for the efficient management of a growing network of external service providers, customers and suppliers, Uelzena has now implemented SAP PI (Process Integration) with inconso AG’s support as a platform for data exchange. This EAI solution (Enterprise Application Integration) enables a comfortable and performance based interaction between SAP and third-party systems. The goal was the automation of all processes of SAP systems at Uelzena with the third-party systems of external service providers, customers and suppliers.

In order to be able to connect logistics service providers quickly and simply into the workflows, inconso has modified a number of central processes in SAP ECC during the scope of the project. This includes, for example, the relocation out of production in Uelzena to the distribution centers of the service providers, the transfer of all changes of the inventory qualifications per batch and pallet initiated by the quality assurance, as well as diverse shipping processes from the distribution center to the different customer groups and the store-in from Goods Receiving based on goods orders from Uelzena at the service provider.

Very important for the food manufacturer: The processes in quality management with inspections and releases are also supported significantly through the automatic processes.

With the efficient completion of essential logistics processes, Uelzena has already commissioned Dachser GmbH & Co. KG Food Logistics subsidiary Langenhagen as the logistics service provider. Among other tasks, Dachser takes over the warehouse management for foods and the transport processing to the end customers. This includes the electronic delivery advance notices for large customers or the timely and flexible small volume picking for web-shop customers.

The SAP PI platform implemented with the support of inconso enables the access of all participants to uniform data and processes and a continual automatic data exchange. This ensures a high transparency and actual inventory security at any time. The omission of various manual entry tasks through the harmonization of the processes and the use of RF for the warehouse processes with SAP LES has led to significant efficiency advantages in essential logistics processes at Uelzena.
