In process manufacturing such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, and food processing, process orders contain critical formulation setpoints, temperature curves, and mixing times. Manually entering these values into machine PLCs causes recipe mismatches and risks batch spoilage.
Paper batch records and manual HMI setpoint entry create unavoidable operational delays. Operators must double-check manual entries, and deviations are only discovered after laboratory testing or end-of-shift audits.
Batch and process plants frequently lose valuable production hours between order generation and machine start. Regulatory compliance in life sciences and chemicals requires rigid proof that setpoints matched the authorized SAP formulation, which manual systems struggle to provide reliably.
Our integration application reads released process orders from SAP through the customer's approved interface mechanism, checks machine interlocks, and transfers parameters directly into PLC memory. Once execution begins, the software monitors phase transitions and sends production confirmations back to SAP upon batch completion.
Industrial shop-floor implementation with sub-second PLC telemetry & automated ERP synchronization.
Our specialized application connects directly to machine controllers and enterprise systems without invasive code modifications, establishing deterministic real-time communication across industrial fieldbuses.

Batch Sensors → PLC Phase Registers → Integration Engine → Process Order Confirmation → SAP ERP
Delivers automated recipe control, guarantees setpoint adherence to SAP master data, and eliminates manual paperwork during batch changeovers.
Built for high-speed industrial environments where downtime is measured in seconds.
Flexible field-to-register mapping supporting integer, float, string, and timestamp data types with range checks.
Monitors discrete batch phases (Heating, Mixing, Holding, Cooling) and logs timestamps for complete batch traceability.
Verifies machine cleanliness, safety gates, and material availability tags in the PLC before allowing order download.
Captures high-accuracy scale and flow-meter readings directly from PLC counters to calculate actual batch yield for SAP.
Logs any setpoint override or process parameter excursion with operator ID and duration for regulatory compliance.
Coordinates process order handoffs between upstream preparation tanks and downstream filling/packaging lines.
Direct compatibility with leading global industrial automation and ERP ecosystems.
How data seamlessly flows from top-floor enterprise orders to shop-floor machine feedback.
The integration layer queries SAP for newly released process orders assigned to specific machine work centers.
Incoming order data is validated against pre-configured equipment capabilities and physical safety thresholds.
Validated parameters (e.g., target weight, cycle duration, setpoint temperatures) are written to controller DBs.
The PLC executes the batch cycle while providing heartbeat, phase state, and actual variable telemetry to the middleware.
When the batch finishes, actual consumption, good output, and scrap are packaged and posted back to SAP as an order confirmation.
Proven operational results across discrete and continuous processing plants.
