Cutting planning in SAP<\/h3>\n

With the Trim Suite, T.Con GmbH has launched an SAP-based add-on for cutting planning as part of production planning and manufacturing processes that integrates seamlessly into SAP NetWeaver without interfaces or releases and extends the SAP standard without modifications. Companies that produce and process rolls and formats can use T.Con's Trim Suite to handle cutting processes in the SAP Business Suite without system discontinuity and with end-to-end IT support. The potential for improvement and cost reduction when trimming paper or film in terms of quantity and raw material loss, total output, number of blade changes and set-up times or stock levels can thus be optimally exploited. It also eliminates the need to purchase and maintain additional hardware and software, as well as the costs of integrating and maintaining the resulting interfaces.<\/p>\n

SAP consulting company Itelligence has been named a Hybris Gold Partner. This makes Itelligence one of 32 companies with Hybris Gold Partner status.

IoT for the car<\/h3>\n

VMware and Fujitsu are entering into an extended strategic collaboration to provide innovative IoT solutions for customers in the automotive industry. The Fujitsu OTA Reprogramming Solution and VMware's IoT solutions will be combined. This will enable automotive manufacturers and partners to produce robust solutions for connected and autonomous vehicles (connected cars\/autonomous driving) in the future. As the number of electronic control units (ECUs) for controlling automotive parts increases, the software embedded in the ECUs has become significantly more complex. The software is also more difficult to manage. However, automotive recalls due to software issues pose significant business risks and challenges for car manufacturers. As more technologies are integrated into vehicles, it is imperative for automakers to quickly and easily program software as needed while managing and monitoring software versions individually.<\/p>\n
