OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Beesby, and what were your goals?

We replaced the ERP we used for SAP in the first half of 2019. As part of this project, we needed to rebuild the PLC communication interface between our production equipment and SAP. This integration was, at that moment, the "apple of the company's eye" and we had to work with extreme caution to ensure that there was no rupture in what was already working, in addition to trying to bring new things to the process.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We replaced the ERP we used for SAP in the first half of 2019. As part of this project, we needed to rebuild the PLC communication interface between our production equipment and SAP.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

A whole new interface was created on the ERP side using SAP's SCP and Cloud Connector. Everything worked perfectly, both the flow of information from the ERP to the PLC, and from the PLC to the ERP from day 1 of using the new ERP. Perfectly executed job. Mission Accomplished.
