@SAP Teams with T-Systems on Cloud-Based IoT Service

SAP and T-Systems introduced a connected logistics platform for processing large volumes of data from Internet of Things (#IoT) deployments.

The smartPORT logistics networking solution combines SAP Connected Logistics software and the Connected Car solution from T-Systems.

The Hamburg Port Authority is using the solution to provide traffic information and services relating to the port using mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones. The objective was to optimize traffic and logistics processes in order to handle large volumes of goods in the port.

SAP said its smartPORT logistics offering could be used at other logistics hubs such as airports, parcel distribution centers and production sites. Both companies are committed to work to extend the ongoing cooperation for cloud services in the domain of telematics services and real-time information for logistics solutions.

“Today, the logistics industry is frequently faced with the challenge of having to optimize flows of goods in a limited area,” said Horst Leonberger, head of the Connected Car business unit of Deutsche Telekom. “With smartPORT logistics, we enable our customers to manage their flows of goods in real time and therefore make optimum use of the limited space.”
