Bechtle and KubeOps, the Kubernetes specialist within the Bechtle Group, together with SAP, are combining their expertise to deliver an end-to-end solution for SAP Digital Manufacturing Edge that integrates application, platform, infrastructure, implementation and operations.
The planned solution is designed to help industrial companies deploy SAP Digital Manufacturing Edge in production environments in a standardised, secure and scalable manner. Customers will benefit from a clearly structured approach that combines technical deployment with the required operational and managed services.
The partnership brings together the capabilities of SAP Digital Manufacturing Edge with the infrastructure, platform and operations expertise of Bechtle and KubeOps.
- SAP provides the application, the functional requirements and the sizing specifications.
- Bechtle is responsible for integration into existing enterprise and production environments and contributes extensive experience from complex industrial projects.
- KubeOps delivers the standardised Kubernetes platform as well as the operational expertise required for automated, secure and scalable operations.
This creates an end-to-end solution model that enables organisations to implement SAP Digital Manufacturing for edge computing more quickly, with lower risk and in a repeatable manner.
The partners' shared objective is to offer an attractive solution that combines technical excellence with clearly defined responsibilities, predictable service components and a consistent customer experience.
"SAP Digital Manufacturing edge computing brings core manufacturing execution capabilities directly to the shop floor, supporting business continuity for critical production processes — and that's precisely where you need partners who master platform, infrastructure, and operations from a single source. Together with Bechtle and KubeOps, we are creating a joint offering that enables industrial companies to deploy in a predictable, secure, and scalable way — without the typical complexity of such endeavors."
Matthias Hollenders, Head of Product Management, SAP Digital Manufacturing
“Reliable and highly flexible IT infrastructures are the foundation of successful industrial digitalization. Through the integration of advanced applications from cloud to edge, we enable our joint customers to securely establish, enhance, and scale data-driven processes.”
Dirk Müller-Niessner, CTO, Bechtle AG
“For edge applications, companies need not only high-performance technology but, above all, a reliable and repeatable operational approach. With our standardized Kubernetes platform, we are creating the foundation for operating Digital Manufacturing Edge securely and scalably.”
Andreas Stroppel, CTO, KubeOps GmbH
By combining SAP Digital Manufacturing Edge with standardized platform, infrastructure and operational services, the partners aim to create a solution model that supports companies in the introduction and operation of production-related edge applications.
