Connection of external systems to SAP
SAP. easy. mobile.
With the MSB Device Connector, a large number of different devices can be directly connected to the SAP system, thus ensuring secure and direct communication and control. The SAP system can send commands to the devices in order to control a specific compartment of an automatic storage rack, as well as data such as the weight requested from a scale are received and processed further in the process.
In the video, we show the versatile possibilities of the MSB in a simple and playful way using a coffee order via app.
Automated SAP processes with the MSB Device Connector
The MSB Device Connector is a tool developed entirely in ABAP that provides communication and conversion routines that convert incoming and outgoing data and allow editing and processing in ordinary ABAP function modules. Communication can be uni- or bi-directional, depending on the device type.
With the help of the MSB Device Connector, various scenarios can be realized exclusively with standard SAP onboard equipment in ABAP. Extensive configuration tables allow developers to connect virtually any number of different end devices to SAP.
Devices to be connected to the MSB Device Connector can, for example, be:
- Scales & stationary barcode scanners
- Paternoster and other storage rack
- Autonomous storage robots
- Analog sensors (temperature, pressure, etc.)
- Display panels, displays, visualization displays
- Any devices or controls with element interface
Four deployment scenarios from the logistics
A combined use of mobile data entry in conjunction with the <strong>MSB Device Connector</strong> is the basis for the implementation of smart, efficient and simple mobile processes. The white paper provides more information about how the MSB Device Connector works and how it is used using the following four example scenarios:
- Determine the weight of packages in the packaging
- Connection of a paternoster shelf in the picking process
- Connection of autonomous transport, such as Fetch Robotics
- Termperature monitoring and documentation in the production process
