Our live scenarios at the booth
1. Automated inventory processes with AI and SAP EWM
Precise inventory management is crucial for operational readiness. Our AI-powered image recognition automatically identifies security-critical materials—from spare parts to sensitive components—and posts them directly to SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). The result: maximum supply security, robust processes, and a resilient defence supply chain in real time.
2. AI Forecasting Model: Detecting Disruptions Before They Occur
Based on an AI forecasting model developed in collaboration with Volkswagen, we’ll demonstrate live at our booth how the risk of critical suppliers failing can be detected up to five days in advance. Applied to system integrators and mid-market suppliers in the defence sector, this scenario helps prevent production downtime and proactively secure the supply chain. Test live in the system how AI helps you detect disruptions before they occur.
3. Security Live Hacking: SAP Security in the Defence Environment
Unsecured SAP systems pose an enormous strategic risk in the defence sector. In our live hacking scenarios, we’ll demonstrate the top 7 risks for SAP systems. See firsthand how attackers exploit vulnerabilities to access sensitive data or sabotage processes, and learn how specialized SAP penetration tests identify critical risks early on and protect your systems.
