Our showcase at LogiMAT 2026
Connected processes with SAP S/4HANA and the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP)
In a logistics world shaped by growing complexity and volatility, companies today face the challenge of speeding up processes, creating maximum transparency across the entire supply chain and eliminating manual sources of error through automation. Seamlessly connecting ERP and warehouse management systems with physical equipment – from the smart scale to the production machine – is crucial for future viability and competitiveness. At LogiMAT 2026, we therefore use a hands-on showcase to present how SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and SAP S/4HANA address these modern requirements through bidirectional connectivity, AI-supported data extraction and real-time visualisation, and turn them into intelligent, automated processes.
Central platform
SAP BTP is seamlessly connected via the SAP Cloud Connector to the flowprime SAP S/4HANA instance, which runs in the SAP Private Cloud and provides the ERP and EWM system.
Connected coffee machine
Via the SAP Integration Suite, hosted on BTP as middleware, the Xenia espresso machine continuously transmits operating data such as pressure and temperature. The operating data is made available in real time via OData services and CDS views in a HANA database.
Communication via the Integration Suite is bidirectional and also allows functions of the coffee machine to be called from SAP, for example starting a brewing process.
Connected scales
Two scales are set up as storage bins in SAP EWM. These scales transmit weight changes via the SAP Integration Suite to SAP EWM, where receipts and issues are then posted via warehouse tasks. Symbolically, they stand for small-parts picking, for example screws in production and/or small products in the shipping process.
User-friendly SAP Fiori apps
Two SAP Fiori apps hosted in the SAP Build Work Zone service allow sales orders to be created and edited intuitively. The apps follow a consistent visual design and the current SAP Fiori guidelines.
The entry point is the app for entering sales orders, which guides visitors through the ordering process and links their coffee cup to their order by scanning a QR code.
In the second app, visitors are guided through the production process. The bills of materials and routings of the different coffee variants are presented in a user-friendly way. The brewing process is also started at the push of a button in the app.
We also present an individually developed app that we offer to customers as a product: the Move HU app. It allows warehouse tasks for moving HUs to be created ad hoc in SAP Fiori. What makes it special is that this also works asynchronously and without an internet connection: movements are buffered and processed one after the other as soon as a connection is available again. This is particularly useful in warehouse areas with known Wi-Fi problems.
AI-supported data extraction
The app for creating sales orders uses SAP Document AI to read customer data automatically from business cards and so speed up data entry. Based on this data, the business partner for the sales order is created. No manual entry is needed, which reduces the potential for errors in the process.
AI-supported ordering and “Chat with your EWM”
The automation platform n8n was used to implement a chatbot. During the trade fair it can be reached via WhatsApp, takes orders and creates sales orders in SAP from them. It can also answer questions about order status or the stock situation in the warehouse. Communication between n8n and SAP also runs via the SAP Integration Suite.
Real-time transparency
An application built with SAP Build Apps visualises the coffee production data in real time in clear charts.
In addition, SAP Analytics Cloud and an individually developed SAP Fiori dashboard provide comprehensive insights into the entire production and the warehouse.
