Discover SAP EWM MFS
The Identification-Point
This blog is part of the series ‘SAP EWM meets Automation – Discover EWM MFS’ and also tackles the hardware but mainly the software side of this thing that we call ‘I-Point’ (Identification-Point) in the area of EWM MFS.
Note that I will not explain every MFS object again here. In case you are not familiar with EWM MFS already, I would recomment reading the EWM-PLC integration blog post at first.
As with all posts of this series, the content provided here has been created in cooperation with the SAP EWM team at Swisslog. Feel free to visit their website in case you want to learn more about the services offered by @ Swisslog or to browse open positions within their EWM team!
