The CLAAS KGaA mbH headquartered in Harsewinkel, East Westphalia, is the world market leader in the manufacture of self-propelled forage harvesters and is also the market leader in the combine harvester product group. In the course of optimizing its logistics processes, CLAAS was faced with the question of which warehouse management system was the right one. A key focus was on the topics of customer orientation and customer service, which also entailed requirements for flexibility in logistics.
One of the main challenges is the integration of a control logic for decentralized production supply. This integration is crucial in order to increase the efficiency of production processes and ensure a continuous supply.
The second major challenge is the direct connection of the high-bay warehouse. This connection should enable smooth and efficient warehouse management and is an important step towards improving logistics processes at CLAAS.

The long routes of the goods from the warehouse to the assembly line were defined in several stages using SAP WM tools, monitored online with RF and the transports were carried out using a forklift guidance system.
As part of the implementation of the high-bay warehouse, the entire incoming goods process was revised and converted to inbound delivery. Only this made it possible to use delivery notifications as a payment advice note.
By structuring the incoming goods zone, it was possible to considerably simplify and speed up the identification of delivered goods and the preparation of storage.
The main incoming goods activities are accompanied seamlessly and promptly by RF:
The connection of the new automated high-bay warehouse proved to be a further challenge. This is designed both for the retrieval of entire storage units and for picking small quantities according to the “goods-to-person” principle.
Both the optimisation of the storage and retrieval processes and the control of movements in the high-bay warehouse are carried out entirely in the SAP LES system. This includes
