MHP to demo integrated SAP & AGV logistics at LogiMAT

MHP Consulting will showcase an integrated approach to managing material flows across production, warehouse operations and automated vehicle fleets at LogiMAT 2026 in Stuttgart.

The Porsche-owned consultancy will demonstrate how SAP Digital Manufacturing, SAP Extended Warehouse Management and its FleetExecuter software can run as a single, connected process. The approach will be presented at Hall 4, Booth 4A28.

Many manufacturers and logistics operators still use separate systems for production, transport and warehousing. This can lead to manual handovers, fragmented information and reduced visibility of inventory and process status.

Frank Völlmecke, Partner at MHP, said: "The key factor is not how many systems are in use, but how smoothly they interact with one another."

Three-system setup

The demonstration centres on three products covering different parts of the workflow. SAP Digital Manufacturing manages production and determines material requirements. SAP Extended Warehouse Management handles warehouse processes and supplies materials to production. FleetExecuter coordinates automated guided vehicle movements between the warehouse and production.

FleetExecuter is MHP's fleet management product for automated guided vehicles and will be shown alongside SAP's manufacturing and warehouse systems.

MHP positions the combined setup as a way to align production and intralogistics by sharing process information across steps. The aim is a single view of inventory, movements and operational status across the connected environment.

Julian Popp, Associated Partner at MHP, said: "To address logistical challenges such as changing production and logistics requirements and rising costs, it is increasingly important to coordinate processes closely. This includes an automated flow of materials and goods. A suitable concept, including simulation, that uses MHP FleetExecuter in conjunction with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to support end-to-end digitalisation-from the warehouse management system to the shop floor-can help."

Live model

At the stand, MHP will run a live model using an S7-controlled cocktail machine to show how the software components connect. The process starts with a production order. SAP Digital Manufacturing requests the ingredients for a selected fruit cocktail. SAP Extended Warehouse Management manages material supply, and FleetExecuter controls delivery to the production area.

After delivery, SAP Digital Manufacturing triggers production through a machine interface. Visitors can initiate the process themselves and watch the system interactions in real time.

Kai Roßnagel, Senior Manager, SAP Production and Logistics at MHP, said: "The use case is deliberately kept lean, but it shows precisely the principle of an end-to-end logistics process-from order generation to material supply and execution. The cocktail machine merely serves as an example. The logic behind it also works in large production plants."

The model reflects a broader trend among technology vendors and consultancies at logistics trade fairs. Many use scaled-down demonstrations to show how software connects warehouse processes, factory operations and transport steps. Increasingly, these demos include automation systems such as mobile robots and automated guided vehicles, which are now common in warehousing and factory intralogistics.

Customer project

MHP will also present a customer deployment at spirits maker Jägermeister. The session will cover the multi-site rollout of SAP Extended Warehouse Management, including warehouse automation elements. It will be delivered by Thomas Babul, Senior Consultant, SAP Production and Logistics, and Dennis Lauton, Senior Manager, SAP Production and Logistics, both at MHP.

LogiMAT has become a key European venue for providers of intralogistics technology and services. Exhibitors typically use the event to present warehouse management software, manufacturing logistics tools and automation platforms. SAP's warehouse and manufacturing applications are widely used in large industrial organisations, particularly those with complex production networks and distributed warehouses.

MHP has built a practice around SAP-related projects in manufacturing and logistics. Its LogiMAT focus signals continued demand for integrated workflows that connect production planning, warehouse execution and automation control, especially for businesses seeking to reduce manual coordination between systems.
