Executive Overview
Connecting factory IoT edge devices directly to the core SAP ERP caused database lockups and severe processing contention during peak production shifts across manufacturing facilities in Europe and Asia.
The Challenge
Direct database queries from third-party logistics portals and assembly line sensors overwhelmed SAP transactional tables, risking factory floor downtime.
Architectural Intervention
Implemented Azure API Management (APIM) with an enterprise Redis caching layer and webhook event dispatches. This isolated core SAP ERP tables while exposing secure, cached REST APIs to edge devices.
Long-Term Results & Value Delivered
Reduced direct transactional database load on SAP core by 75%, brought factory inventory synchronization under 100 milliseconds, and maintained 99.95% system uptime across 12M+ daily API transactions.
