CLIENT

Grid-scale battery manufacturer ($500M revenue, 2GWh annual capacity) supplying utility-scale energy storage projects

THE CHALLENGE

ERP system (SAP) couldn't communicate with shop floor MES. Production planners relied on end-of-day reports. Quality data trapped in isolated databases. Customers waiting 72+ hours for order status updates.

THE SOLUTION

Built bidirectional integration layer between SAP ERP and proprietary MES.

Implemented real-time production event streaming to unified data warehouse.

Created cell-level quality traceability linking test data to production batches.

Deployed customer-facing portal with live order tracking and delivery ETAs.

Automated compliance reporting for grid-interconnection requirements.

Systems Connected

SAP S/4HANA ERP, Proprietary MES, Cell testing databases, SCADA systems

Architecture

Kafka event streaming, Snowflake data warehouse, Real-time API layer, Automated compliance reports

THE RESULTS

Customers self-serve order status instead of calling support.

Production teams see live WIP across all assembly lines. Quality issues traced to specific cell batches within minutes. Compliance reports generated automatically for grid certifications.
