Perinet Use Case Production data integration in SAP S/4HANA (Zentinel MDS)

The challenge

A manufacturing company wanted to integrate production data, such as the number of parts produced, into SAP S/4HANA in real time without modifying the machine control system or accessing existing systems.

Realisation

  • ZentNode adapters capture signals from a sensor (e.g. pulses for each completed part) and transmit the data to the ZentEdge server.
  • The data is stored in an SQL database that can be accessed by SAP HANA in real time via the Smart Data Access functionality.
  • A simple configuration of the ZentNode devices allow the adjustment of counting intervals and data formats directly via a browser.

Added value

  • Direct SAP integration: Standardised SQL queries enable immediate availability of production data in SAP S/4HANA.
  • Cost efficiency: No changes to the machine or additional automation programming required.
  • Flexibility: Several ZentNode devices can work in parallel and be extended to different machines.
  • High availability: ZentEdge server stores data even when temporarily disconnected from SAP.

Additional application options

  • Chemical industry: Integration of production data, e.g. mixing quantities or reaction times, into ERP systems.
  • Food processing: Recording and integration of production volumes and cycle times in SAP.
  • Medical technology: Data management for production lines that manufacture medical devices or consumables.
