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)
