The Lipetsk complex is equipped with software based on the SAP Extended Warehouse Management system (SAP EWM). Using its built-in algorithms, the solution calculates the optimal placement of materials in the warehouse, plans the activities of equipment and staff, and oversees every stock keeping unit using bar code identification. Digitalization of warehouse operations helps discontinue the use of paper documentation and prevent errors in order processing. NLMK claims that the use of high shelving systems for cargo placement will enable a six-fold increase in usable storage capacity.
