With sensor data to SAP workflows

Manufacturing areas ("store floors") have a large number of data suppliers in the form of sensors, controllers and machines. The information generated provides valuable information for optimizing production.

But the data suppliers are heterogeneous and so far not or only marginally networked. However, only comprehensive data interpretation that is capable of triggering concrete processes in the ERP offers real benefits.

To ensure the availability of a bottleneck machine, a manufacturing company must collect and evaluate information on the machine status. Otherwise, unnoticed parts wear will lead to repairs and breakdowns - production will fall behind.

An isolated representation on the machine is not sufficient here. What is needed is an intelligence that oversees and controls the interlinked processes in the supply chain, an ERP system. The new GIB Shop Floor Integration, SFI, enables communication between the sensor world and the SAP ERP.

SFI prepares process-relevant data from source systems in near-real time in order to transfer them to SAP systems based on rules. In the case of the bottleneck machine, SFI receives data on critical events and machine states.

The evaluation of this data starts the necessary follow-up processes for spare parts orders, rescheduling and cost calculations in SAP for predictive maintenance.
