Mindray is a global medical technology company specializing in the development and manufacturing of medical devices and solutions. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, Mindray has emerged as one of the leading providers of medical equipment worldwide. Mindray places a strong emphasis on innovation and research and development, continually introducing advanced technologies and features to enhance the quality and effectiveness of medical care. The company has a global presence, with more than 50 subsidiaries across the globe and a distribution network covering over 190 countries.
To enhance the efficiency of warehouse management, Mindray Refrigerated Reagent Warehouse implemented an SAP EWM solution in 2018. The next year the warehouse went live with SAP EWM on SCM 9.5 version. In 2019, SAP redefined the strategic direction of EWM products and introduced significant upgrades to the EWM platform, with SAP S/4HANA based SAP EWM becoming the mainstream solution. Considering the importance of system stability and expandability of functionality, it is essential for Mindray to migrate its reagent warehouse to SAP S/4HANA. This migration will ensure the warehouse remains supported and that it can take advantage of the enhanced capabilities and features provided by the S/4HANA platform to improve overall efficiency.
