Lighthammer Software Development Corp.

Description

"Acquiring Lighthammer supports SAP’s strategy of enabling adaptive business networks, or ABNs, for our customers," said Nils Herzberg, SVP, Manufacturing Industry Solutions, Product and Technology Group (PTG), SAP. "Essential to enabling the ABN is bridging the disconnect between the shop floor and the enterprise through what SAP refers to as adaptive manufacturing—the ability of a manufacturer to profitably replenish the supply chain while dynamically adapting to unpredictable change. The SAP Lighthammer combination exemplifies the ABN vision."SAP said that the acquisition supports the company's commitment to offering an ISA-95 enabled manufacturing solution that further reduces the complexity of building custom connections to shop floor systems and thereby accelerates the time-to-value for the end customer.The SAP Lighthammer solution will provide real-time visibility to manufacturing exceptions and performance variances, including root causes and business impacts, enabling manufacturers and their production personnel to adapt to change and rapidly respond to unforeseen demand and supply events. The combination will enable SAP to deliver real-time transactional integration between ERP and plant floor systems as well as unified, real-time analytics and visualization, often referred to as "manufacturing intelligence," out-of-the box to its manufacturing customers; the combination will also enable companies to leverage their current investments at a lower total-cost-of-ownership (TCO).
