Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) is in the heart of most company's activities
and provides a source of information. IoT has the potential to dramatically
increase the accessibility and accuracy of information. This has a significant
impact on enhancing ERP in areas like customer service, inventory and asset management,
and business intelligence.
The Internet
of things is already having a major impact on manufacturing. For example, sensors
attached to devices enable a greater degree of maintenance automation and ensures
that important data is available to people who rely on it, from shop technician
to decision-makers in the C-Suite.
Advantages
of Integrating ERP with IoT Technology.
Improve
communication
When a manufacturer sells directly to a customer, the
support module of the ERP system is traditionally updated with all customer
information for every consecutive number at the time of shipment. But, when products
are offered through retailers, it has become increasingly tough to obtain data.
With IoT, merchandise can communicate directly with the manufacturer from the
warehouse, and supplies plenty of information to both engineering and service.
Most ERP systems offer portals for suppliers and
Customers by which they are able to confirm immediately and upgrade orders, and
document issues to improve communication and service. Products that communicate
directly using the ERP system make this connection closer to clients and
suppliers. This also contributes to less waste and errors along with a supply
chain.
Inventory Management also benefits from the fact that
goods can communicate directly with all the ERP systems. In third-party logistics warehouses,
manufacturers can handle stock or shipments with real-time updates of on-hand
values. Instead of relying to report stock, manufacturers can get data that is
accurate and consistent.
Improve
business intelligence
Businesses can now track machine operations anywhere
in the world and execute information analysis on a continuous basis. The IoT
not merely manages machine upkeep but also empowers social analysis and a
direct interface with customers. Access to business intelligence that is
true helps managers make better tactical decisions.
Using IoT sensors and devices, repeat orders, Kanbans, and replenishments can be immediately passed to the ERP system.
Using machine
learning software, the ERP System can generate intelligent recommendations
for plant and supply chain managers as large amounts of information could be
recorded.
IoT solutions offer new opportunities to expand
business management systems. New information sources and larger volumes from present
sources can provide decision-makers with insight at all levels of an
organization. ERP systems must have the ability to collect, process, analyze, and use this data efficiently. Modern ERP systems like Microsoft Dynamics 365 can utilize readily scalable, secure, and
powerful cloud platforms like Microsoft
Azure. The Azure IoT Suite can
be quickly deployed by leveraging this stage through pre-configured and readily
customizable options for predictive maintenance, Leak analysis, and monitoring,
so businesses quickly get evidence of Concept and scalability for creation.
