Integration between Cumulocity IoT and ERP (SAP)

[Reiser_Anthony_Flores_Roca]

Hi!

I currently want to bring real-time and historical data from Cumulocity IoT to an ERP system (for example SAP).

Reading documentation about Cumulocity I understand this would be possible Cumulocity IoT OpenAPI:

Thank you all in advance for your support.

My recommendation would be to look at Sotware AG’s webMethods.io iPaaS products. In your case primarily webMethods.io Integration.
It can integrate cloud apps and on-premise apps using hundreds of pre-built connectors, including Cumulocity.
Have a look at this Tech Community article: Building System Integrations with the new Cumulocity IoT Connector for webMethods.io

Data integration options with Cumulocity IoT

[09] Introduction The core of Cumulocity IoT is device integration but with pure device data only a few use cases can be implemented such as Device Management or Condition Monitoring. The more comprehensive use cases rely on additional data which resides in other databases, systems or services. Only when combining device data with other data like master data or production data the real value of IoT can be unleashed! In this article I will give you an overview about the options you have to …

He have implemented an integration with an ERP system. We utilized microservices to support the creation of devices representing a manufactured asset initiated from the ERP system, then invoke the ERP systems ticketing system when an anomaly is detected. This is in support of a Smart Asset Management use case for an organization that manufactures the asset and/or provide managed service for the asset.
