NSK, a global manufacturer of bearings, automotive components, and precision motion technologies, embarked on an SAP S/4HANA Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) rollout to modernize its warehouse operations in Brazil. With complex localization requirements, integration across SAP and non-SAP systems, and the need for uninterrupted operations, NSK partnered with Körber Stellium to implement a globally aligned yet locally adapted warehouse solution. The transformation focused on streamlining warehouse execution, improving receiving efficiency, and accelerating operational readiness.
This case study reveals how NSK leveraged SAP EWM to:
•Accelerate its warehouse rollout to go-live in just 3 months
•Improve receiving productivity by 50% through QR code-based processes
•Achieve operational stabilization by Day 3 after go-live
•Integrate 24 non-SAP interfaces across enterprise systems
•Enable system-driven sorting and streamlined warehouse putaway
•Enhance packing quality through AI-led computer vision checks
