Which Technologies to Integrate and Which to Limit?

Identity & Access (OpenID Connect)
Ensures seamless automatic login and high-level security. Differentiates roles (e.g., Foreman vs. Worker).
  • Target Systems: Google Cloud Identity / Keycloak / Microsoft Entra Identity
  • Integration: OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 protocols
Backend for Frontend (BFF)
"Headless ERP" architecture. The user never interacts directly with SAP. The ERP serves strictly as a background data source.
⚠️ LIMITATION: Never use full ERP interfaces! They are productivity killers in a production environment.
IoT & Live Status
Icons must not be static. They must transmit floor-level reality to the device (e.g., overheating, active faults).
  • Hardware: Siemens Simatic, Allen-Bradley, SCADA systems
  • Protocols: MQTT, OPC UA (Open Platform Communications)
