Developing Intelligent Technologies to Support the Next Generation of Trainer Aircrafts

Leading aerospace and defense company Leonardo SpA walks on the path of innovation and disruption. Leonardo caters to futuristic helicopters and aircrafts and space and unmanned systems. One of the most innovative aircrafts is the M-345, the future aircraft of the Italian aerobatic team Frecce Tricolori. The M-345 is set to revolutionize training for combat pilots. In line with the most advanced standards for fighter aircrafts, the avionics of the M-345 include an innovative human-machine interface, and the embedded tactical training system permits reproduction of complex tactical scenarios during training flights. To achieve its vision, Leonardo knew it would also need to revolutionize its own business technology. The company sought to begin a digital transformation at its plant in Venegono, Italy, where the M-345 is produced from composite airframe build up, to the assembly line, and finally to its maiden flight. For this transformation to succeed, Leonardo needed technology partners who could collaborate to provide and implement the right solutions.

Challenges

• Lack of standardization & automation • Innovation constraints • Lack of collaboration & capability to scale

Outcomes

• Improved TCO (Total cost of ownership) • Reduced Costs • Improved employee productivity and customer experience/ satisfaction

An integral and fundamental enabler of Leonardo’s transformation program is SAP S/4HANA, which transmits the information to where it is needed in real time.

Creating Precision Livestock Farming with a 360-Degree View of Each Cow’s Data

Challenges

With more than 50 ranches and 440,000 cows nationwide, China’s Modern Farming (Group) Co. Ltd. has been growing rapidly. Over the past two years, it has become a leading domestic supplier of high quality raw milk and a premium dairy processing manufacturer.

Also, as a key supplier to Mengniu Group, it strives to be a leader in global animal husbandry. Compared to their international counterparts, domestic industrial ranches rely heavily on experience-based management and decision-making. Between global market volatility and reliance on imported forage, Modern Farming has been facing challenges such as rising production costs. So, to continue competing on the international stage, it became vital to embrace digitalization and transition to a smart farming model. “To move from experience -based to digital farming, you must integrate all business data within the group.

Agribusiness | United States SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reducing system customization to improve efficiency Western Sugar Cooperative is an American agribusiness that specializes in the cultivation of sugar beets. As it continued to grow, it struggled with an on-premise, extremely customized ERP infrastructure that was difficult to update, leaving it vulnerable to system collapse. To remedy this, it decided to implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. “Our system was highly customized and had no controls in place. After 30 years of customizing, the software itself was hardly upgradable. We went with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition to leverage the built-in support for best practices with little disruption to the business.”

Challenges

Specializing in manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics, Ariete Group operates facilities, assembly lines, and logistical services in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Although it serves multiple industries, Ariete’s businesses are tightly connected with the automobile sector. In particular, facilities in Smolyan and Pazardzjk produce plastic components for injection molding. Ariete was looking to increase efficiency in materials management, production planning, quality management, warehouse management, sales, finance, and maintenance. To do this would require investments in automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics. In other words, the group was ready to start a complete digital transformation journey.

Industry Cloud Story

Efficiently managing a complex worldwide network of more than 14,000 suppliers

80% Reduction in manual effort 20% Decrease in support workload

50% Faster supplier onboarding Two Weeks for the first working version of the application

Every second worldwide, a new car is manufactured containing at least one product from Brose. Many of us use the automotive supplier’s offerings each day. Operations of this magnitude rely on an extensive network of global suppliers, some with multiple roles. However, the old solution Brose used to manage these suppliers had limited functionality and ran on outdated code that was increasingly difficult to maintain. Brose and its suppliers needed a new approach that would provide intelligent identity management within an intuitive user experience. “To see what we have achieved with SAP BTP, developing an industry cloud solution tailored to our needs using innovative technology, is both exciting and a great example of what is possible through collaboration”

Challenges
