The technology multinational Stratesys and Vester Business, a company specialized in industrial connectivity, have signed a strategic alliance to promote the integration between the industrial plant and business management systems through vNode Automation.
The agreement aims to offer industrial organizations a complete OT–SAP solution, designed to connect data generated in industrial operational automation environments with SAP corporate systems. In this way, companies will be able to improve the visibility of their operations, accelerate decision-making and move towards more connected, traceable and efficient management models within the industrial environment.
This collaboration combines Stratesys’ experience in SAP consulting, systems integration and digital transformation with vNode, Vester Business’ industrial IoT platform, specialized in the secure transport of data from the OT automation level to corporate IT ecosystems. The joint proposal responds to one of the main challenges of the manufacturing industry in the current industrial context: eliminating friction between plant and business to convert operational data into useful, available and actionable information in real time.
“In an increasingly demanding industrial environment, companies need to connect what happens in the plant with their management systems to gain efficiency, traceability and response capacity. This alliance with Vester Business allows us to reinforce our value proposition in Industry 4.0, integrating operational data in SAP in an agile, secure and business-oriented way,” says Iñaki Olondo, managing partner who leads the industrial sector at Stratesys.
Reduce barriers between OT and IT environments
The solution will allow companies in the industrial sector to have plant data directly in SAP in real time, reduce barriers between OT and IT environments and facilitate audit and regulatory compliance processes without the need to interrupt industrial production. All of this contributes to improving operational efficiency, strengthening control over industrial processes and moving towards data-based management models within the industrial ecosystem.
“At Vester Business we have been working for years so that the industry can take advantage of the real value of its operational data in each industrial environment. The alliance with Stratesys consolidates that commitment: we unite the power of vNode with the leadership of Stratesys in SAP to offer a robust, scalable solution aligned with the highest standards of industrial digital transformation,” says Fabián Brener, CEO of Vester Business.
Integration with SAP capabilities
vNode Automation acts as an industrial connectivity layer capable of collecting, processing and delivering information from devices, sensors, PLCs and other industrial plant systems to business platforms, cloud environments, IoT systems or corporate solutions. Within the framework of this alliance, its integration with Stratesys’ SAP capabilities will make it possible to accelerate industrial digitalization projects, reducing technical complexities and facilitating a more fluid connection between operation and management in any industrial environment.
