This is the background to our research into the digital transformation of business and production processes. The group is examining the potentials and limits of in-memory systems in a digital factory using real-time data from individual sensors to optimise decision-making processes. The data are then subjected to advanced analytics for real-time reporting and used as a data lake by combining SAP HANA with other big data technologies.
Key research areas
- How can companies integrate and standardise complex business processes to generate real-time data?
- How can companies succeed in collecting and analysing relevant information, and making their own business decisions?
- How can companies manage the challenges of holistic, smart digital technologies and sustainable integration with business partners?
- How can IIoT and ERP systems help manufacturing companies effectively streamline and manage their daily routines?
Use cases
- Integrated IIoT using SAP Leonardo as a central IoT platform
- Integration, processing and visualisation of real-time machine data in SAP
- Implementation of SAP S/4 on HANA
- Big Data using SAP HANA as a data lake
- On-premise and cloud-based implementation and evaluation of MES systems
