Keep the labeling of your containers or workpieces up to date at all times. Even without technical aids, you can display the contents and destination or handling information, for example.

Labeling of storage bins:
Equip your storage bins with dynamic information. For example, display which materials are in the respective location or point out special detailed information.

Your benefits:

  • Industry 4.0: Digitization in logistics & manufacturingng
  • Full process integration into the SAP ERP system
  • Framework as implementation accelerator
  • Paperless processes

The process:

4process | Digital Labels: Routing card in production

Production often requires work plans, routing cards, routing slips and product drawings, which in turn contain master data for materials, semi-finished products or operating resources.

Use the connection between your SAP ERP system and digital labels to stay informed about the current processing status and progress of your production at all times within your manufacturing process.

4process | Digital Labels: Labeling of storage bins & inventory

Poorly visible and unclear storage locations in the warehouse are equipped with e-shelf labels. This allows information such as the fill level of a tank, an open transport order in a storage bin or the current stock level to be displayed.

Boxes containing material are used in production. These are defined as storage bins in SAP and always show the current fill level at runtime, which is updated each time material is removed.

Further scenarios:

  • Action button for triggering a replenishment order
  • Flashing label during picking to guide warehouse staff
  • Inventory: 4process | Mobile Framework application for comparing the system inventory with the physical inventory at the turn of the year or color-coding the already counted bins via the label.

Advantages of digital labels:

  • Orientation for the worker during the count
  • Waterproof for outdoor use
  • Real-time system-supported stock overview
  • Paperless storage bin labeling

4process Solutions Efficient warehouse management with 4process | Mobile Framework

Increasing cost pressure is forcing more and more companies to optimize their warehouse processes. The main focus here is on process organization and the degree of automation. With the help of 4process's own 4process | Mobile Framework solution, you can simplify your warehouse processes and automate them in the best possible way.

Many manual process steps are taken over by mobile radio scanners that are easy to operate via touchscreen and are carried out automatically in the background. This reduces the amount of input required from warehouse staff to a minimum. We will work with you to develop a labeling concept tailored to your company and warehouse structure to further simplify processes and enable the scanner and SAP system to communicate via barcode.

The mobile wireless scanner terminals communicate directly with the SAP® server via WLAN, so that the latest order and stock information is always available. This enables real-time booking of stock movements as well as ensuring suitable "process interlocks" to detect and avoid incorrect entries at an early stage.

Your benefits:

  • Personalized user guidance
  • Template-based mapping of logistics processes
  • Flexible user interface
  • Increased performance
  • Integrated process interlocking

What our customers say: Reference

"Since the changeover, all relevant processes have been largely paperless. Paper consumption has been reduced by around 80%. This is made possible by mapping all processes in customized APPs, which are made available to logistics personnel via mobile data collection devices. Thanks to a real-time display of all steps, there is now maximum transparency in all areas of logistics. The new SAP WM solution with storage units and handling unit management ensures an increase in booking and shipping accuracy. At the same time, integrated process interlocks ensure a high reduction rate of booking or scanning errors. The resulting increase in efficiency contributes to the future competitiveness of the site."
