"With billions of connected devices, we now have the potential to reshape society, the economy and the environment," CEO Bill McDermott said in a prepared statement. SAP is positioning its hot technology, SAP Hana, as the data platform to drive IoT. Industry 4.0 packages that feature IoT capabilities are being introduced that include a jump-start package and accelerator package. Those are complemented by the SAP Distributed Manufacturing application for additive manufacturing 3D printing services. An Industry 4.0 package is scheduled later to provide advanced manufacturing insight and controls, machine learning functionality and predictive analysis for quality and maintenance operations. Future products are planned to address digital operations of cities, agriculture and energy industries.
