Seed Corn Facility SAP Integration
Seamless integration between SAP enterprise systems and plant floor operations to enable real-time data exchange and improve production visibility.
The Challenge
A seed corn production facility needed seamless integration between their SAP enterprise system and plant floor operations to enable real-time data exchange and improve production visibility.
How We Solved It
- 01Collaborated with their corporate IT department to establish secure communication protocols between SAP and plant floor systems
- 02Established a secure DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) with a HighByte Intelligence Hub to handle REST and MQTT integration services between SAP and the plant floor
- 03Developed bidirectional API connections through HighByte to facilitate real-time data flow between enterprise and operational systems
- 04Created real-time data synchronization between production operations and enterprise resource planning systems
The Result
The facility achieved real-time, bidirectional data flow between their SAP ERP and plant floor systems — eliminating manual data entry and giving production and enterprise teams a shared, accurate view of operations. The secure DMZ architecture satisfied corporate IT requirements without exposing plant floor systems to the enterprise network.
