Optimized Usability: SWAN 3D Logistics Cockpit and SAPUI5

At LogiMAT 2023, SWAN presents innovative core products of its portfolio, including the SWAN 3D Logistics Cockpit. This product scores high with its user-friendliness. The solution utilizes existing data from SAP EWM and creates an interactive virtual 3D representation of the warehouse. This “digital twin” provides real-time information on stocks, warehouse structures, and movements – visually appealing and clearly presented. Control is done in the realistic 3D interface based on SAPUI5 and can be operated intuitively. As a Fiori application, it can be integrated into any SAP system; retrofitting is also possible in existing installations. Moreover, it is also usable on mobile devices.

High-Performance Transport Management with SAP TM

In addition, SWAN is driving the consistent expansion of the SAP Transportation Management (TM) business area. Given supply shortages and increased transparency requirements, data-driven TM is becoming increasingly important. SWAN offers companies bundled solutions for high-performance transport management with SAP TM in combination with SAP EWM. The direct integration of transport management into the SAP landscape allows planning and execution of goods flows and transport types directly in the system. The result of the increasing channeling of all SAP processes: more efficiency, transparency, and thus noticeable cost relief along the entire supply chain.
