SAP is co-innovating on digital logistics with leading companies around the globe

SAP SE launched several new Internet of Things (IoT) solutions at SAP Leonardo Live, its global summit, in Frankfurt, Germany, to showcase the latest technology and use cases for innovation, including the IoT.

Part of the SAP Leonardo digital innovation system, these IoT solutions take advantage of advances in Big Data and analytics, the ability to connect people, things and business with SAP Cloud Platform, and technologies such as machine learning to enable IoT and Industry 4.0 strategies across digital logistics, manufacturing and asset management.

The new solutions include:

* SAP Leonardo IoT Bridge, a configurable role-based digital command center giving operations managers unprecedented visibility and ability to act in real time.

* SAP Global Track and Trace, a cloud-based offering for unified, end-to-end tracking, monitoring and reporting of objects and business processes across supply chain networks.

*  SAP Leonardo IoT Edge software to bring compute, storage and business semantics via the cloud to where intelligent devices reside outside of the data center, for near real-time and deterministic performance of business processes.

* SAP Digital Manufacturing Insights, a centralized, cloud-based manufacturing performance management solution that provides comprehensive visibility into manufacturing that enables process optimization

* SAP Asset Manager, a cloud-based mobile app for managing asset health, inventory, maintenance and safety.

“Less than one year ago, we announced our commitment to invest and grow our IoT business,” said Dr. Tanja Rueckert, president, IoT and Digital Supply Chain, SAP. “With SAP Leonardo as our digital innovation system, our new solutions and the many customers and partners demonstrating real-life use cases with us at SAP Leonardo Live, we are defining the path to digital transformation with innovation that can scale across the entire organization.”

SAP is co-innovating on digital logistics with leading companies around the globe, including The Bosch Group, a leading global supplier of technology and services with roughly 390,000 associates worldwide. Bosch and SAP are collaborating on scenarios for delivery track and trace, exploring cloud-to-cloud integration with Bosch IoT Cloud.

“By using sensors, we digitalize logistics,” said Matthias Huelsmann, VP of connected logistics at Bosch. “In particular, we provide data services based on real-time location, auto-ID and condition data such as temperature and shock. This creates more transparency and new value-added services. In doing so jointly with SAP, we help transform our customers’ supply chains even faster.”
