Integration and Intelligence

>SAP capabilities can cover a broad range of functions within plant operations. Critical to those functions is the ability to effectively integrate data and processes between enterprise systems, shop floor systems, and scheduling software while improving visibility for strong reporting capabilities. At Vesta, we have a team that focuses on all those areas within our Integration and Intelligence line of business.

The following is a sample of our expertise and how we assist customers with Integration and Intelligence functionality. Many of these are also key functions for the SAP Perfect Plant initiative. Maintenance and reliability are vital to a successful plant and Vesta is committed to help customers improve overall asset performance and achieve their strategic manufacturing goals.

Integration and Intelligence Topics

• MII
  MII is an SAP xApp for Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence. It is a plant operations focused application, born out of the SAP acquisition of Lighthammer Software in 2005. MII serves as the cornerstone for the SAP Perfect Plant initiative by establishing a single point of data and process integration between virtually any plant floor system and all releases of SAP ERP. Vesta has a team focused to help its client's use of this powerful composite application across manufacturing and maintenance operations. MII provides unique access to plant level data sources enabling Vesta consultants to use their domain expertise in SAP and plant operations to implement customer applications for process integration, manufacturing and maintenance intelligence.
• RCMO
  SAP and Meridium teamed up to develop this powerful composite application. Reliability Centered Maintenance and Optimization (RCMO) is tightly integrated with the maintenance processes in SAP. Vesta helps customers effectively implement SAP functionality for maintenance and reliability and is prepared to assist companies with fully realizing the value of RCMO.

• Business Intelligence
  Many customers are looking to take advantage of SAP's solution for Business Intelligence (formally known as the Business Warehouse or BW). The solution is very powerful and certainly a key to effective reporting and KPI's. At Vesta, we have BI technical experts who also understand maintenance and reliability reporting needs. As a result, we help customers fully exploit the value of this powerful reporting tool.
• Maintenance Assignment and Scheduling
  Scheduling is a key part of maintenance department's effectiveness. We not only understand the techniques of effective scheduling but we understand the various options. Many of the options are simply ways to effectively use standard SAP but we are also fully aware of the partner landscape and interfaces. We can help you to determine which approach is best for your company and how to optimize that solution. A key area of interest in the market today is interfacing SAP with Primavera. We work closely with Primavera and their Inspire product to fully leverage this powerful interface.
• User Experience
  In years past, SAP's Plant Maintenance solution had the reputation of having the right functionality, but being too difficult to use. Today, SAP has many user interface options that can be used. For improved configuration, a customer can consider xVIP, GUIxt, Adobe Forms, Mobile, Portals, etc. At Vesta, we take great pride in staying current with the various options in order to provide customers with the most effective interface for the maintenance and reliability department.
• Mobility
  Mobility is becoming an integral part of a complete EAM solution. By extending the solution to the field, a company can mobilize its workforce to perform daily maintenance and reliability activities more effectively and efficiently. At Vesta, we specialize in bringing SAP applications to mobile devices in the EAM space. For mobile inspection management, Vesta has partnered with Meridium in support of their Mobile Inspection Management (MIM) for SAP solution.
