Case Study: Schwing America achieves 42% increased picking efficiency and 99.8% accuracy with RFgen Software

Global manufacturer replaces aging software with cutting-edge mobile barcoding to build transformative results

Schwing America, a construction equipment manufacturer operating a 40‑acre St. Paul plant, was hampered by an aging, unreliable barcode system that caused long scan latency (five–six seconds) and prevented the company from adding needed functionality. To modernize operations, Schwing America selected RFgen Software’s RFgen Mobile Foundations for SAP, an SAP‑certified mobile barcoding solution.

RFgen Software ran an on-site Business Analysis Workshop and delivered a short, phased implementation that put real‑time, point‑of‑scan data into SAP and provided a low‑code mobile app platform for in‑house development. The rollout produced measurable gains: 99.8% picking accuracy, a 42% increase in picking efficiency, faster materials handling, automated mobile cycle counting, and smarter directed put‑away and consolidated picking — all driven by RFgen Software’s solution.
