The Keys You Need to Know to Integrate SAP Easily and without Code

Organizations are increasingly betting on the implementation of an ERP such as SAP for all the benefits that this solution brings them.

According to what we can read in Allied Market Research, the global ERP software market will reach 78.40 billion dollars in 2026. A figure that represents a significant increase, if this forecast is compared with the sector’s turnover in 2018: 35.81 billion dollars.

But the performance of an ERP like SAP depends on advanced communication solutions such as OPC Router.

Many companies are forced to perform data insertion, often manually, due to the lack of integration drivers, which is not only cumbersome, but also prone to human errors. The integration of information and systems is critical at this point to improve operability, reduce OpEx and maintain competitiveness.

The main drawbacks to this situation are the integration costs and the need for technical personnel. To overcome these challenges, companies have OPC Router, a tool that facilitates integration and provides many advantages.

An example of a solution generated by OPC Router in an industrial environment is the correct and complete automatic and continuous synchronization of the PLCs and SCADAs, responsible for controlling and calculating the quantities produced and wasted, as well as the speeds and times, and a tool such as SAP, which has the information on what to produce, the production rate and the times. This type of project is key to improving the production processes of a company that wants to take advantage of the benefits of Industry 4.0.

How Does OPC Router Integrate with SAP?

The behavior of the OPC Router solution with SAP advises its integration over other manual or custom alternatives that offer a poor result for the following reasons:

1.- with OPC Router, Resources are Integrated more Efficiently.

In many occasions the communication between SAP and other systems is complicated. However, when OPC Router is used, the communication between this ERP and the rest of the systems becomes more fluid and easier to perform.

In addition, developing a connector for SAP implies a constant dedication from the technical team that can last months or years. On the other hand, with SAP knowledge, implementing a connection with OPC Router is quick: less than a morning’s work.

2.- Solution Usable for Different Projects.

Unlike what happens with a custom solution, OPC Router can be used in as many projects as necessary. All that will have to be done is to change the required configuration parameters and in a few minutes you will be able to enjoy the solution in another project or with other components.

3.- it is a Very Visual Solution.

OPC Router is a solution that is managed from a simple control panel. Simply establish the connections between SAP and the different systems of the company with an intuitive graphical interface and through a simple drag and drop process.

For this, OPC Router uses connectors called plugins to connect a very wide ecosystem of software and industrial hardware:

The solution also has a large number of online learning resources that allow you to learn how to make any type of connection in a short time.

OPC Router does not require a development license, the tool itself without a license is fully functional for two hours of Runtime. After these two hours, you can restart and restart the process. This is a great help to start getting familiar with the solution and start discovering all its advantages.
