🚀 Transforming Warehouse Operations with SAP EWM & S/4HANA

In today’s fast-paced supply chain environment, agility and automation are no longer optional—they’re essential. Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of leading SAP EWM implementations across industries like automotive, pharma, and retail, helping organizations streamline operations and unlock real-time visibility.

One of the most impactful transformations I’ve driven was at Rivian Automotive, where we:

✅ Implemented a shuttle ship process to optimize material flow to the production line
✅ Integrated IDENTYTEC switches for automated kanban replenishment
✅ Designed custom apps for RF devices, improving picking efficiency and user experience
✅ Enabled MES-to-SAP integration via REST API for seamless production line automation

These innovations didn’t just improve operational KPIs—they empowered frontline teams with intuitive tools and real-time insights.

🔍 Whether it’s embedded or decentralized EWM, the key lies in understanding business pain points and tailoring SAP solutions that scale.
