Manufacturing today doesn’t run on fixed schedules or static inventories; it runs on speed, responsiveness, and data. Welcome to Industry 4.0 logistics, where warehouses aren’t just storage points but active, intelligent hubs that power real-time production and fulfillment.
But here’s the reality we see every day when working with our customers: many warehouses still operate with outdated processes that are manual, siloed, and reactive. In this environment, delays, errors, and missed production targets are no longer exceptions but end up being part of the routine.
This is where Cherrywork Smart Warehouse 2.0 comes in—not as an add-on system, but as a smart warehouse solution designed from the ground up to support digital warehouse transformation for manufacturers who are serious about becoming Industry 4.0-ready.
Many legacy warehouse systems weren’t built for today’s manufacturing realities. They struggle with:
These bottlenecks are particularly damaging in modern production environments that depend on agility and precise coordination. When the warehouse can’t keep pace, the entire value chain suffers. And that’s exactly what we aim to solve with our advanced warehousing solution.
Smart Warehouse 2.0 is more than a warehouse automation software—it’s a strategic extension of your manufacturing DNA. Built natively for SAP warehouse management, including Inventory Management (IM), Warehouse Management (WM), and Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) modules across SAP ECC and S/4HANA, it integrates seamlessly with your existing ERP and production systems. The result is a unified platform that connects execution with insight—bringing together inventory, logistics, and production flows in real time.
This automated warehouse software solution is designed mobile-first, with role-based apps tailored for warehouse operators, supervisors, and floor managers. Whether it’s scanning incoming goods or orchestrating outbound shipments, each task is digitized and intelligently assigned, reducing friction and improving traceability.
What truly sets Smart Warehouse 2.0 apart is its ability to bring physical workflows into a digital context. Every movement, scan, and task feeds into a central layer of intelligence, creating a continuously updated picture of what’s happening on the ground.
At Cherrywork, we completely rethought how to automate old processes. The result is a fully digitized flow across all warehouse functions:
All of this runs on a common data layer that gives you real-time warehouse data—from inventory snapshots to task progress, enabling better planning and faster exception handling. We have seen teams cut picking time by 50%, eliminate paperwork almost entirely, and boost warehouse productivity by 40%. These aren’t marginal gains—they’re step changes in operational capability.
One of the most critical shifts in Industry 4.0 logistics is the move to demand-driven manufacturing. Instead of producing against forecasts, manufacturers now adjust in real time based on actual demand signals.
Smart Warehouse 2.0 enables this agility by acting as a synchronized link between supply and production. Real-time SAP integration ensures that material availability, order priorities, and stock levels are continuously updated. Further, production lines are never stalled waiting for parts.
When the warehouse is connected and responsive, production becomes faster, leaner, and far more predictable. That’s the promise of warehouse digitization tools that are not only smart but also tightly integrated with upstream and downstream systems.
Automation is the first step. But adaptability is what keeps manufacturers competitive.
Smart Warehouse 2.0 is designed to flex with your business. Whether you’re introducing new product lines, adapting to seasonal peaks, or complying with regional regulations, our modular architecture, powered by SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), ensures you don’t have to rip and replace your warehouse setup.
Need to expand to a new facility? Add a new plant-specific configuration? Roll out a custom mobile screen for your floor supervisors? These changes are simple and scalable, enabled by the flexibility and integration capabilities of SAP BTP.
This kind of advanced warehousing adaptability is not only a technical advantage but also a strategic necessity in today’s volatile supply chain environment.
Cherrywork Smart Warehouse 2.0 is part of the broader Cherrywork Industry 4.0 suite—a set of applications that work together to deliver truly intelligent operations.
Together with Cherrywork’s warehouse management technology solutions for intelligent maintenance, digital shopfloor management, and connected supply chain orchestration, Smart Warehouse 2.0 forms a central pillar of the Industry 4.0 operating model.
This means your warehouse isn’t working in isolation—it’s part of a connected ecosystem where insights flow freely, actions are coordinated, and outcomes are measurable.
You can explore how all of these apps work together here, but the core idea is simple: digitization without integration is just automation. True transformation comes when data, systems, and people are aligned in real time.
Industry 4.0 logistics is no longer a futuristic concept. It’s here, and it’s defining who wins and who lags behind in the manufacturing space.
Cherrywork Smart Warehouse 2.0 gives you the foundation to lead in this new reality. With end-to-end digitization, real-time decision-making, and native SAP integration (SAP ECC and S/4 HANA), you can eliminate inefficiencies, support demand-driven manufacturing, and adapt to change faster than ever before.
If you’re thinking about your next move in digital warehouse transformation, don’t start with broad roadmaps or abstract frameworks. Start where your operations begin—the warehouse. That’s where speed, accuracy, and visibility create a compounding advantage.
And we’ve built the tools to help you get there.
