As a global leader in vision an systems, software, sensors and industrial-grade barcode readers for manufacturing automation, Cognex is dedicated to helping manufacturers get smarter. To support its recent exponential growth, Cognex expanded its product selection into solution and service package offerings. These offerings allowed the company create greater value and promote recurring revenue for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growing demands of the company were quickly outpacing the existing ERP system. To address these demands, Cognex selected SAP S\/4HANA for its ERP for its maturity and stability. SAP S\/4 HANA would also provide cross-functional integration to connect all of the business areas to consolidate data and deliver value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe made the decision to invest in a world-class platform, but it was step one in a multi-phased project,\u201d says Doug Curren, Senior Director, Business Applications, Cognex. \u201cHaving SAP as a foundation means you have a solid bottom floor of the house. You cannot build more floors without that strong base.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the integration, Cognex chose Capgemini. Capgemini\u2019s manufacturing experience, SAP credentials, and existing methodologies made for the perfect partner in execution. Following the transition, the S\/4HANA applications are hosted on Microsoft Azure. Cognex also utilizes Capgemini\u2019s Cloud Platform (CCP) as their single cloud-management system which helps Cognex leverage the efficiency and agility of these cloud solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are a data-driven company, so we are very excited about the opportunities to use the data,\u201d says Curren. \u201cWe are already seeing more sophisticated conversations across the business and more employees are seeing the potential value this project can bring. It is exciting to start to build on it and move to the next stage of our IT roadmap.\u201d
