Efficient Asset Collaboration with SAP Business Network Asset Collaboration
Discover how standards-based asset collaboration can help connect partners, improve data consistency and prepare asset-intensive organisations for future requirements such as the Digital Product Passport.
Asset-intensive organisations today operate in an environment where processes, data and information models are often fragmented across departments, systems and business partners. Suppliers, manufacturers and operators do not always work with the same asset information, which can make collaboration slow, inefficient and prone to errors. At the same time, the need for interoperability, reliable digital asset data and standards-based information exchange is increasing. Upcoming developments such as the EU Digital Product Passport also require industry players to prepare for structured, standardised and reusable product and asset information.
SAP Business Network Asset Collaboration is a cloud-based information exchange and collaboration platform that connects asset operators, manufacturers, suppliers and service providers in a shared network. It supports the exchange of asset information, documents, models, equipment data, work orders and feedback across the asset lifecycle, helping organisations improve transparency, data consistency and collaboration. This webinar explores how SAP Business Network Asset Collaboration can help connect trading partners, break down organisational and data silos, and support more efficient collaboration across industrial ecosystems through standards such as Asset Administration Shell (AAS) according to IEC 63278, ID Link according to IEC 61406, ECLASS and VDI 2770.
