Rösler Oberflächentechnik GmbH Success Story of a customer project
Rösler Oberflächentechnik is a third-generation family-run company and one of the leading providers of vibratory finishing and beam technology as well as solutions for postprocessing in the field of additive manufacturing. In the course of the planned S/4HANA transition, the company was faced with the task of further developing its logistics landscape in a future-proof manner as SAP WM will be discontinued. Together with FIS, Rösler implemented SAP EWM, integrated an AutoStore system and replaced the previous material flow computer with SAP MFS. Particular attention was paid to production supply as this is closely interlinked with logistics processes and day-to-day business at Rösler. The project demonstrates how established warehouse and provision processes can be gradually transferred to a new system architecture.
