SEEBURGER: Business Integration for the Manufacturing Industry

Digitalization and sustainability go hand in hand. Successful manufacturing engineering companies know that innovation, flexibility, an increasing fusion of production and information technologies, and differentiation through product-related services are key to their success. At the heart of this success are seamless digitalized processes. For the careful stewardship of energy and resources, a growing number of artificial intelligence applications and IIoT solutions are becoming increasingly important to help companies in the manufacturing ecosystem achieve sustainability goals faster.

Networked manufacturing equipment contributes to sustainability efforts by creating smart, efficient and optimized manufacturing processes with digital monitoring. Many manufacturers are already using predictive maintenance for networked machines. By monitoring performance and equipment conditions, manufacturers can prevent equipment breakdowns and proactively manage the replacement of machines and their components. This also helps sustainability efforts by significantly reducing the amount of non-recyclable waste, while making production facilities more efficient.

Through the integration and standardization of your manufacturing data, the SEEBURGER BIS Platform enables predictive maintenance and adds real-time transparency to industrial manufacturing processes, production facilities and automated assembly lines.

"The BIS Platform impresses not only in terms of speed, flexibility, control, and governance. It is our strong foundation for an agile future without dependencies."

Philip Lebsack, ERP Manager, Wohlhaupter GmbH

SAP integration for manufacturing and plant engineering

SEEBURGER solutions for SAP, such as Purchase-to-Pay, OmniChannel-to-Cash and Console simplify the processes in SAP S/4HANA for efficient business data management.

Integrating the SEEBURGER SAP GTS solution lets machine and plant engineering companies efficiently process international trade transactions, while ensuring compliance with customs regulations, embargo provisions and export controls. This helps to automate import and export processes with the customs authorities and ensure compliance with legal regulations.

B2B/EDI integration in machine and plant engineering

Our B2B and EDI integration solution for manufacturing engineering lets even normally incompatible systems communicate with each other, while keeping data secure at all times. Even non EDI-capable B2B partners can take part thanks to SEEBURGER WebEDI, a browser-based EDI portal.

The SEEBURGER BIS Platform lets you automate and electronically exchange orders, invoices and delivery notes with your customers and suppliers.

Our BIS capabilities include a range of packaged B2B integration processes that support all pertinent formats and protocols, especially within manufacturing engineering. These let you rapidly deploy reliable business processes and onboard additional partners at a click using pre-configured profiles.

E-Invoicing for machine and plant engineering

E-Invoicing has so much to offer for manufacturing and machine and plant engineering companies. Automating invoicing lets a company automate their workflows and achieve a faster turnaround. It keeps data more secure and reduces the potential for errors, which in turn both significantly cut costs. Paperless invoicing also has a positive environmental impact.

SEEBURGER‘s E-Invoicing capabilities include support for the common standards and comply with all e-invoicing regulations for 55 countries. Supported standards include ZUGFeRD in Germany, Chorus Pro for France and a Peppol Access Point for global procurement processes. SEEBURGER Cloud Integration Services for E-Invoicing has a range of scalable solutions for fast, automated e-invoicing.

API integration in manufacturing engineering

Digitalization in manufacturing engineering and digitalized production facilities require flexible IT systems to network people and machines, processes and data. API integration and API management make it possible to quickly and easily access the functions and data in your business processes, or to allow third parties to access these, whether in-house or from outside. For the manufacturers and production companies of today, API integration is the key to modern supply chain communication.

The SEEBURGER BIS Platform supports a range of API integration and management capabilities that let you securely and flexibly connect and exchange data in real time with connected sites, connected machines and business applications such as SaaS, PLM, ERP, MES or a connected site or machine.

Quickly integrate endpoints, applications and more for production facilities

Connectors are indispensable in the digital world of machine and plant engineering. They quickly and easily get data moving smoothly and seamlessly between various systems.

The extensive range of SEEBURGER Connectors and packaged integration processes (PIPs) create secure connections between endpoints with very little programming required. Customers use our connectors and PIPs to integrate SaaS applications, interfaces, protocols, services and cloud integration services. Drive your business integrations to quickly and easily connect, automate and innovate across the whole ecosystem.

Sustainability in mechanical and plant engineering

As part of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the shift towards the so-called "net-zero economy", sustainability has become a core value in mechanical engineering. The sustainability of machines and systems can be enhanced through more efficient processes, such as smart factory or digital monitoring and control elements. Predictive maintenance, for example, prevents the premature replacement of intact components, allowing machines to operate for longer periods and increasing both their efficiency and sustainability.

Digitalization and sustainability go hand in hand. Innovative digital technologies like IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) or AI (Artificial Intelligence) assist companies in mechanical and plant engineering to achieve their sustainability goals more quickly.
