SAP Business Transformation Study | Automotive | Mercedes-AMG

In line with its motto “Driving performance,” Mercedes-AMG develops highperformance, gold-standard cars. Engine testing is a costly and data-intensive process.
And, while most engine failures occur within minutes, failed tests could not be identified
until after completion, resulting in hours of lost time and resources.
To quickly monitor sensor data on the interactions of up to 100 engine components,
Mercedes-AMG worked with the SAP® Active Global Support organization to deploy a
solution that combines SAP® Business Suite powered by SAP HANA® and sensor
technology from Modern Horsepower. Now it can detect engine failures as soon as they
happen, allowing engineers to terminate tests immediately and more quickly analyze
what went wrong. The result is the equivalent of an extra day of testing capacity each
week, helping Mercedes-AMG improve performance and lower costs.
