Visions and promises as well as possibilities were presented in Frankfurt\/M.<\/p>\n<p>The just over 1000 visitors were disappointed. In general, the question is whether SAP will ever be able to deliver added value here. Currently, Crisp Research analyst Stefan Ried says:<\/p>\n<p><em> \"SAP claims a broad range of IoT services with Leonardo.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Does an IoT user need SAP?<\/h3>\n<p>Probably not, because IoT is: sensors, M2M communication, edge computing and new business processes in the smart factory (see also E-3 cover story July\/August 2017).<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of sensors in thousands of CNC machines generate millions of data, but these do not make their way into the main memory of a Hana machine in \"real time\", which means you won't need Hana either! The answer is edge computing.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the latency time, the IoT sensor data is sorted, verified and consolidated directly at the point of action. A rather small data stream then goes towards the ERP system, is visualized there and processed further - and any Windows server with an SQL database or AWS and Google in the cloud can also manage this.<\/p>\n<p>You can read a comprehensive analysis and follow-up coverage from the SAP Leonardo in-house exhibition in the upcoming<a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/kiosk2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> E-3 Magazine September 2017<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In July, the SAP Leonardo in-house exhibition took place in Frankfurt\/M and the result: SAP is gambling away the trust of its existing customers. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[27840],"tags":[187,17117,367,370],"coauthors":[27825],"class_list":["post-56324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chefredakteur-blog","tag-bill-mcdermott","tag-edge-computing","tag-industrie-4-0","tag-iot","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"featured_image_urls_v2":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","image-100":"","image-480":"","image-640":"","image-720":"","image-960":"","image-1168":"","image-1440":"","image-1920":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","trp-custom-language-flag":"","bricks_large_16x9":"","bricks_large":"","bricks_large_square":"","bricks_medium":"","bricks_medium_square":"","profile_24":"","profile_48":"","profile_96":"","profile_150":"","profile_300":""},"post_excerpt_stackable_v2":"<p>Im Juli fand in Frankfurt\/M die SAP-Leonardo-Hausmesse statt und das Ergebnis: SAP verspielt das Vertrauen seiner Bestandskunden. <\/p>\n","category_list_v2":"<a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/category\/editor-in-chief-blog\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Chefredakteur-Blog<\/a>","author_info_v2":{"name":"Peter M.
