PI Gateway to SAP R/3 Ron Kolz, Gretchen M. Schwenzer, Ph.D OSI Software, Inc.

Why link SAP to plants? Tighter supply chain integration  focus on speed, reduce cycle time improve customer responsiveness planning - capacity, utilization, bottlenecks (how to increase production speed) Reduce costs - improve operational efficiency  optimize maintenance dollars identify performance degradation usage-based maintenance

RLINK Architecture SAP R/3 (PP-PI, QM, PM) Plant Network/Intranet Instrument & Control Interfaces DCS, PLC, etc. PI Server RLINK NT SQL Server SAP GUI PI API Communication SAP to RLINK via RFCs RLINK to PI via PI’s API RFCs

Production Planning - Process Industries

Benefits of RLINK OSI standard product, SAP certified  Support SAP, Microsoft technology Reduce risk, cost and errors of interface Repeatable across enterprise Rapid plant implementation Manual entry slow, error prone Calculations often required Data volume that can be handled Automated interface - timeliness of data sent to SAP, accuracy of data in SAP

1998 Accomplishments  Successful RLINK implementations commitments from several large chemical companies to deploy RLINK corporate- wide  RLINK enhancements SQL Server 7.0 support PP-PI “by-products”  QM/PM development completed  Sapphire, World Batch Forum

1999 Path Forward  Work closer with SAP verticals Position RLINK in SAP solution maps Plant Centric strategy  Strategic relationships RLINK implementation partners Educate SAP global/national partners  R/3 4.5 certification: PP-PI, QM, PM  SAP seminars Q3/Q4  Case studies -- measure results of PI/SAP integration projects

Presentation Objectives Quick review of SAP modules and Architecture of RLINK Enhancements to PP-PI SAP QM short tutorial 1999 Plans and Benchmark Points OSI Brewery Demo
