Innovations in new products: solution package Industry 4.0

SAP represents a solution package the Industry 4.0 at the heart of which — the solutions in the field of Internet of Things helping the companies to implement digital business strategy. The starting software package includes operating rooms and business systems, allowing to conduct monitoring of efficiency and to gain a deep impression about work of the enterprises. The application package of the following level combines this functionality with a possibility of automatic control of production due to support of production planning, paperless document flow, solutions for control and performance review, increase in efficiency of repairs and maintenance (TORO). Both packets are complemented with Distributed Manufacturing SAP application (SAP the Distributed production) for production 3D - printings.

Innovations in the field of Internet of Things: PLAT.ONE, Fedem

SAP IoT provides a complex integration stack of technologies — from connectors for interaction of the equipment to platform solutions and software applications for Internet of Things, ensuring work of business network and support of business processes. This complex of solutions is strengthened by functions of machine learning and predictive analytics. For the solution of these tasks of SAP purchased PLAT.ONE, provider of corporate solutions in the field of Internet of Things. Developments of the Italian company allow to simplify process of creation, deployment and management of the difficult IoT-systems. PLAT.ONE provides examination and technologies for acceleration of availability of key features of IoT based on a cloud platform of SAP HANA Cloud Platform. Among them — a range of management tools complete lifecycle of attached devices and connections of different types of sensors, powerful functions of deployment of technologies of Internet of Things. The solutions PLAT.ONE provide seamless integration with cloud platforms and tools of end users for safe and rapid development of IoT-applications.

SAP also also purchased the Norwegian company Fedem Technology which specialization – development of software analytical solutions in the field of industrial calculations, dynamic modeling and simulation of behavior models of structures and mechanical systems under the influence of complex loadings. Thanks to this merger of SAP is going to begin creation of the user applications in the field of Internet of Things allowing to estimate and model in real time a status of operational assets on the basis of information arriving from different touch sensors. Thus, physical status monitoring of the equipment or an object can be replaced digital. The solution will also consider influence of a complex of external factors on business, opredelyatmgnovenny effects of single events and long-term effect of cyclic loads. With its help exact monitoring of requirements of TORO and forecasting of assets in real time will become possible.

SAP IoT Labs: Global transformation in the field of Internet of Things

SAP is going to create network of SAP IoT labs laboratories for cooperation with clients, partners and startups in the field of the Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things worldwide. These laboratories will become some kind of beacons of technology progress, bases for researches in the field of Internet of Things, development of software solutions, modeling and accomplishment of pilot projects, demonstration of IoT of cases.
