Connect the Shop Floor to SAP In Real Time

Candent integrates MES systems, IoT sensors, and production assets into SAP S/4HANA so your planning, costing, and quality decisions are built on live data, not shift-end reports.

Our Industry 4.0 Footprint

Active Delivery Across Industrial Environments.

Candent’s Industry 4.0 programs span:

Discrete manufacturing

automotive, engineering goods, industrial equipment. Multi-machine, multi-BOM environments where production confirmation delays cost money.

Process manufacturing

chemicals, paints, specialty materials. Continuous batch flows where quality and yield data need to reach SAP before the next run starts.

Foundry and castings

heat tracking, yield management, and metallurgical results integrated into job-order costing.

Pharma and life sciences

GMP-compliant batch traceability, serialization, and real-time quality inspection integration.

Food and beverage

allergen control, recipe management, and cold-chain sensor connectivity.

Our Capabilities

Industry 4.0 Integration Built Into the SAP Program.

MES-to-SAP Integration

Production order confirmation, goods movements, and yield reporting from MES to S/4HANA in real time. Using SAP Integration Suite and SAP Digital Manufacturing.

IoT and Sensor Data Ingestion

Machine telemetry, process parameters, and quality sensor data ingested and mapped to SAP objects. OEE, downtime, and asset performance visible inside the enterprise system.

Shop-Floor Connectivity

SCADA, PLC, and equipment interfaces connected to SAP through a governed integration layer. Production actuals flow up. Work orders and materials flow down.

Quality System Integration

Inspection lot results from laboratory and quality systems posted to SAP QM in real time. Batch decisions, usage decisions, and non-conformance management without manual entry.

Autonomous Operations Enablement

With clean, real-time shop-floor data inside SAP, agentic AI can monitor production exceptions, trigger process responses, and surface decisions before they become incidents. The connected plant is the foundation of the autonomous enterprise.

Managed Services and AMS

Production doesn’t stop at go-live. Candent’s 24x7 AMS practice provides ongoing support, integration monitoring, and continuous improvement. The team that built the integration layer runs it.

How We Design It

OT-IT Integration Should be an Early Architecture Decision

Most Industry 4.0 programs get delayed or descoped because shop-floor integration is treated as a separate workstream. Scoped after blueprint. Delivered after go-live. Fixed in phase two.

Candent’s integration architects and SAP functional consultants work on the same team. MES connectivity, IoT data flows, and quality system interfaces are part of the blueprint, not an afterthought.

Our technical capabilities

From assessment to operating model, the timeline is agreed before the engagement begins.

Why Candent for Industry 4.0

We Design for the Plant, Not the Demo.

Industry 4.0 programs stall because the integration scope is underestimated, the OT environment is more varied than the blueprint assumed, and nobody owns the connection between the shop floor and the enterprise system. Here is how Candent addresses that before the program starts.

Assessment before architecture:

We map your OT landscape, MES systems, protocols, and data flows before integration design begins. The scope reflects the real environment.

Integration built in, not bolted on

Our integration architects join the SAP program from day one. Shop-floor connectivity is part of the blueprint, not a phase two.

Autonomous enterprise outcomes

Real-time shop-floor data inside SAP enables agentic AI monitoring, automated exception handling, and autonomous process responses. We build for that outcome from the start.

Sector experience on the team

Programs are led by consultants with hands-on delivery in discrete manufacturing, process industries, foundry, and regulated environments.

One team through AMS

The team that designed the integration layer provides ongoing support after go-live.
