Integrate robots directly into the SAP system and control them via SAP Standard!
The SERKEM solution in detail
SAP Robot Connection
In the course of Industry 4.0 the automation of logistics is a central component. All the more important is a consistent communication between the used robotics and your SAP system. SERKEM helps you to connect all types of robots (palletizing robots, packaging robots, etc. – independent of the manufacturer) to your SAP system.
One major advantage of the direct robot connection in SAP is the low level of logic integration in the programmable logic controller/subordinated controller (PLC/UST). The logic only serves to execute the commands sent by SAP to the corresponding robot.
There are four different variants for the connection of robotics to SAP:
- SAP LE-WM via SAP PCo (light blue path)
- SAP LE-WM directly to PLC/UST (grey path)
- SAP EWM via SAP PCo (dark blue path)
- SAP EWM directly to PLC/UST (orange path)
telegram traffic between the SAP system and robotics
All variants of the robotics connection in SAP can be covered with a SERKEM template. This consists of precast functions and applications that facilitate the control of robotics and speed up the implementation process. Individual company-specific functions or special processes can additionally be installed.
The possibility of connecting a robot is both independent of the form (palletizing robots or similar) and the manufacturer.
