Like any other sophisticated manufacturer, our manufacturing process requires timeliness and accuracy of the data exchanged between the MES and SAP even during those rare instances when the SAP system is temporarily unavailable. NLINK’s robustness and built-in store-and-forward capability has proven to be invaluable in maintaining the reliability and integrity of the data connection between our MES and SAP”.

NLINK’s rich set of built-in methods to connect plant floor data to SAP allowed us to rapidly create a number of real-time, bi-directional SAP interfaces that fully integrated our plant floor systems to SAP. NLINK’s ability to query data from SAP without bypassing SAP’s business logic and without having to customize our SAP system greatly simplified the project scope and allowed us to successfully meet our project timeline.

We needed to replace an in-house developed set of stand-alone VB apps that were becoming increasingly harder and more expensive to maintain and extend. We needed a mission-critical solution that could consolidate the disparate legacy apps into a single system that did not require custom coding and that had built-in enterprise features like store-and-forward and alarming. We needed a solution that we could use ourselves to build reliable SAP interfaces and we found it with NLINK.

We needed a simple-to-use, reliable and feature rich SAP integration solution in order for us to build a set of real-time interfaces between our MES and SAP. We found it with NLINK, and since we first started using it in 2006, it has quickly become the cornerstone of our SAP integration strategy.
