Locations become triggers. Reaction in under a second.
When a container enters a zone, something happens: SAP posts, the display updates, the AGV picks up, the escalation kicks in. No manual intermediate step, no response time in the minute range.
You see everything. And nothing happens.
Many plants now have tracking – in the form of a dashboard. You see where things are. But between seeing and acting sits a human who has to read the dashboard, evaluate it, and react.
Positions do not trigger anything
The information is there, but the action is still manual.
Response times measured in minutes
By the time a bottleneck is identified, reported, and addressed, the line is down.
Schedule-based supply instead of demand-driven supply
The tugger train runs on schedule – whether the zone is empty or overflowing.
Escalation too late
It is reported when the problem is visible. Not when it arises.
From event to action. Without detours via a screen.
No-code Rule Designer
Business users define zone triggers themselves: If object X enters/leaves/falls below zone Y, then action Z.
Sub-second latency
Less than a second passes from zone change to triggered action – instead of minutes via human intervention.
AGV call via VDA5050
The empty staging bin calls its vehicle automatically.
Escalation chains
If no one responds, the alert escalates automatically: Worker → Shift Supervisor → Plant Manager.
Dynamic staging
Material demand triggers transport orders directly in SAP EWM – demand-driven instead of schedule-driven.
- ›Container enters the goods receipt zone → SAP EWM posts receipt, the workstation display updates.
- ›Production order reaches the workstation → SAP DMS loads the work instruction.
- ›Material cart falls below minimum stock → transport order is generated automatically.
- ›Worker leaves the processing zone → SAP PP operation confirmation triggers.
- ›Supply container empty → AGV call, without anyone making a phone call.
What you wirklich move.
Every trigger is a documented event in the digital twin. Your automation rules automatically create the process model that simulation and AI agents will work with later.
Which three events should trigger an immediate response in your operation?
That's exactly what we start with in pilot scoping: the three triggers with the highest leverage, their current response time, and how much they cost. This forms the first automation cluster.
