SAP SE and KUKA AG announced they will work together around Industrial 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to promote the flexibility and automation of production processes. Both companies want to collaborate, particularly in the areas of manufacturing, mechanical engineering and the automotive sector.
The integration of KUKA robots into SAP’s digital manufacturing showcase at Hannover Messe is driven by standard protocols, such as OPC Unified Architecture. In addition, KUKA and SAP plan to provide KUKA robot applications based on the SAP Leonardo IoT platform. KUKA robots will be integrated into SAP Cloud Platform, helping companies evaluate predictive maintenance scenarios and monitor factory floors. KUKA also plans to use selected SAP technology components as part of its own connyun IoT platform.
Through the SAP Leonardo portfolio, SAP has introduced a variety of solutions to support Industry 4.0 and IIoT. KUKA’s expertise in intelligent automation solutions complements these solutions. In addition, selected SAP technology and business components will enhance KUKA’s start-up platform connyun, with a focus on midsize machine construction.
The combination of expertise in machines, connectivity and production processes, together with expertise from SAP around Big Data analytics, business applications and the operation of large global infrastructures, creates an ideal landscape for this partnership.
