Meijer Potato Wins Boomi EMEA Customer Innovation Award
During the Boomi World Tour in Amsterdam last Thursday, Sander Vermeer accepted the innovation award on behalf of our valued customer, Meijer Potato. Congratulations on achieving the Boomi EMEA Customer Innovation Award! Meijer Potato develops new potato varieties to optimize potato yields and to create strains that thrive in challenging conditions such as very dry or very wet soil. Each year, approximately 700,000 potential varieties enter the new cycle. Only one or two, sometimes none, actually make it to become a new variety. After a breeding cycle of about 8 years, the variety is truly market-ready. The amount of data generated by this process is enormous and highly complex. With the help of the Boomi platform, they have managed to expedite the potato breeding cycle. Boomi integration and Boomi Master Data Hub provide seamless integration between various sources, such as DNA sequences, sensor data, and drone imagery, as well as test and temperature data from fields around the world. By leveraging the expertise of Emixa companies, Appronto and Magnus, as implementation partners for both Boomi and the data platform, they succeeded in placing Boomi at the core of the integration architecture. The results stemming from this endeavor are indeed something to be proud of: Progress in accelerating the breeding cycle. Master data management as the foundation for preventing errors in this highly complex and meticulous process. Realized cost savings. A decoupled and highly scalable environment, enabling Meijer Potato to insource certain strategic and demanding data processes. The Emixa companies, Appronto and Magnus, are very proud to be part of this project! More information Would you like to know more about Emixa?

The latest innovations within SAP Intelligent Asset Management
SAP has launched the latest version of SAP Intelligent Asset Management (IAM). This version, release 2105, is more user-friendly, more extensive and easier to deploy within your organization. Curious about what IAM can do for your organization? We have listed the most important new features for you. The new release brings the following functionalities: Option to test new functionalities in advance in the preview environment One cloud implementation that supports multiple SAP ERP systems Expansion of the assignment of functions to new objects Sharing work order operations with partners Improved usability of assessments Assigning spare parts to failure modes Controlling SAP ASPM and ERP feedback loop via workflow tasks SAP Intelligent Asset Management (IAM) Cloud Test new functionalities in advance in the preview environment SAP updates the cloud solution every three months. New functionalities can be tested in advance in a preview environment without disrupting the production environment. This way you can determine in advance which functions add value to your organization. You are perfectly prepared to use those components immediately after release. One cloud implementation supports multiple SAP ERP systems For organizations that work with different SAP ERP systems, the step to the cloud seems big. Should a separate cloud environment for IAM solutions be set up for each SAP ERP system? Is it necessary to integrate first before migration? As of the latest version, the answer to these questions is 'neither'. From release 2105, multiple SAP ERP systems can be integrated within one sub-account. These can be both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA environments. Synchronize assets from the different systems within the platform with the IAM cloud solution. SAP Asset Intelligence Network (AIN) Expansion of the assignment of functions to new objects You purchase assets to fulfill a function. Take an oven for example; one of the functions of an oven is to produce hot air. The function of an asset determines the failure factors. In the case of an oven: what can hinder the production of hot air, and how can this be prevented? Instead of separate definitions per asset, it is now also possible to define functions for a model. Individual assets then inherit the functions from the model that is assigned. Instead of recording all functions for fifty ovens separately, you manage them based on one oven model. This reduces the administrative burden accordingly. Sharing work order operations with partners Maintenance of complex assets can be carried out by different parties. In the new version of SAP AIN, work order operations can be shared with partners. Individual operations can be assigned to subcontractors, who receive read and write rights based on their needs. For example, the person who maintains the conveyor belt can check what the attached machine is doing, but only write maintenance on the belt. Figure 1: Share work order operations with partners using SAP AIN SAP Asset Strategy & Performance Management (ASPM) Improved usability of assessments SAP has implemented a number of improvements for both the Risk and Criticality and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis. When carrying out a Risk and Criticality analysis, it is now possible to gain insight into the weighting of the answers via the information button. In addition, a number of long texts are now also displayed for a more detailed explanation. Figure 2: Gain insight into the weighting of answers with SAP Assigning spare parts to failure modes The spare parts required depend on the failure of the asset. In SAP ASPM it is now possible to link spare parts to failure modes. This makes it immediately clear to employees which parts are needed. Figure 3: Link spare parts to failure modes with SAP ASPM Control feedback loop SAP ASPM and ERP via workflow tasks In SAP ASPM you define the maintenance strategy. SAP ERP generates the necessary work orders to perform this maintenance. In an earlier release, a workflow was created between SAP ASPM and SAP ERP with which recommendations from ASPM are assigned as a workflow task to SAP users within ERP. For example, if the maintenance engineer within ASPM determines that the number of visual inspections of a sensor needs to be doubled, a workflow task will appear in ERP. In the latest release, a new workflow task has been added with which additional information from ASPM can be requested. This is how it arises Get in touch Ready to make a business change?
