BDF EXPERTS enters into partnership with FORCAM ENISCO
- SAP partners work together to ensure greater transparency and resilience in supply chains
- First use case for series production at SAP showcased at Hannover Messe 2025
Böblingen/Düsseldorf, May 2025 – Smart factory specialist FORCAM ENISCO will be collaborating with consulting and software company bdf consultants GmbH – BDF Experts. The two SAP experts have entered into a strategic partnership to this end. An initial joint example of customized series production was presented at this year's Hannover Messe trade fair.
The aim of the cooperation is to offer manufacturing companies tailor-made services for higher added value through smooth supply chains. Both partners will combine their areas of expertise – FORCAM ENISCO's expertise in smart manufacturing and BDF EXPERTS' expertise in smart supply chains and product data management. The initial focus will be on companies with customized series production.
“Securing value creation in the factory across the entire supply chain”
Resilient supply chains are a top priority in today's environment. Companies must be able to respond in real time to adapt to new market conditions. This can only be achieved through digitalization and automation. Because industrial value creation takes place in the factory, companies need to ensure that they capture the added value from manufacturing through transparency across the entire supply chain. We bring many years of experience and innovative factory software solutions to the table. By combining our expertise with that of BDF EXPERTS, we can provide companies with optimal support in securing value creation in the factory throughout the entire supply chain.
“Central database for making supply chains resilient and agile”
In the digitalized value chain, the seamless integration of product data is the key to success. With SAP PPG, we create the central database that companies need to make their supply chains resilient and agile. The combination of our digital supply chain expertise and FORCAM ENISCO's shop floor expertise enables customers to not only optimize their production processes, but to completely rethink them. Together, we offer an end-to-end solution that creates transparency from product design to delivery and achieves measurable efficiency gains.
SAP partners with proven expertise in their fields
Both companies are SAP partners and specialists in their respective fields:
- FORCAM ENISCO offers certified teams of experts for the SAP Digital Manufacturing (SAP DM) solution. SAP DM is implemented systematically according to a tried-and-tested 8-phase model. FORCAM ENISCO also provides the innovative “NextGen” solution AC4DC for machine data collection. AC4DC ensures highly available and secure data streams by easily connecting heterogeneous shop floor assets.
- BDF EXPERTS offers the “SAP Product and Process Governance by BDF” (SAP PPG) solution. SAP PPG enables companies to integrate, maintain, and retrieve all data in the product lifecycle in SAP. BDF EXPERTS thus creates a central database for end-to-end processes – from product development and manufacturing to the use of the SAP Business Data Cloud.
First joint use case at SAP at the Hannover Messe 2025
At the Hannover Messe 2025 trade fair, both partners presented their first use case on the topic of “customer-specific series production.” The motto was “Optimizing the entire supply chain through data-driven manufacturing.”
The application example demonstrated the functional approach of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) using a practical example – the production of a car steering wheel. The demonstration illustrated how the integration of product data by SAP PPG from BDF EXPERTS with production control by SAP DM from FORCAM ENISCO leads to a seamless process chain.
