Infosys SAP S/4HANA – Smart Warehouse cycle count

in high rack storages. With the Azure IoT Edge framework, reliable video streams of

handling units in storage racks can be obtained from high-resolution cameras

mounted on drones or at fixed places in the warehouse. These streams can be

broken down and analyzed in real-time to determine inventory count per part of the number which can be reconciled with the system inventory in the system of

records like SAP S/4 HANA or SAP EWM. The SAP Cloud Platform provides the best

in class user experience and decision support for the user by integrating the

IoT Edge feeds and enabling the next best action to update system stock or take

decisions like scrapping or recount.
