To help carbon neutrality, EMQ and SAP jointly build a green IoT solution

background

In the context of global cooperation in climate protection, the Chinese government actively promotes the "carbon peak" in 2030 and the "carbon neutrality" in 2060. The achievement of the "dual carbon" strategy will have a profound impact on China's economic and social development. Companies in related industries are facing major challenges in transformation and upgrading, especially in industries with high carbon emissions such as energy and power, industrial manufacturing, and transportation. Gradual decarbonization in the process.

In order to facilitate the early realization of "carbon neutrality" and the reshaping of the competitiveness of related companies, SAP and EMQ have reached a cooperation. Both parties will use their respective technological advantages in the field of smart enterprise transformation and IoT data access to jointly build a whole industry chain A digital platform for carbon emissions. With the help of digitalization and Internet of Things technology, it helps enterprises to monitor and manage energy consumption and emissions, industrial transformation and upgrading, and digital transformation of the new energy industry, and provide digital solutions for industrial energy conservation and emission reduction, wind and wind power generation, clean energy production, and new energy vehicle networking.

The solution uses the EMQ X IIoT suite rule engine to interface with the Event Mesh components of the SAP BTP platform, and transmit carbon neutralization related data to the SAP BTP platform for analysis.

EMQ X IIoT kit

EMQ X IIoT kit is a basic set of things industrial access stream data preprocessing, the kit comprising a multi-protocol-network access devices capable EMQ the Neuron X- and ten million simultaneous connections, one million data throughput EMQ X Enterprise and other components. It can rely on a powerful rule engine to transmit data to various data platforms, realize one-stop data extraction, filtering, conversion and processing, and integrate perfectly with other various platforms. At the same time, it supports an elastically scalable cluster model. Enterprises can expand the access scale without the customer's perception as the business grows, and expand the business upper limit by adding cluster nodes. The EMQ X IIoT suite flexibly integrates the SAP BTP platform for data transmission, and provides reliable carbon peak/carbon neutral source data.

SAP BTP platform

SAP BTP is a platform for building a smart enterprise. With this platform, customers can integrate and expand all SAP and third-party applications, turn data into value, thereby enhancing agility, realizing business value, and promoting continuous innovation. SAP BTP includes all SAP technology combinations, such as SAP HANA (in-memory computing platform), SAP Analytics Cloud (analytic cloud), SAP Integration suite (integration suite) and SAP Extension suite (extension suite). The SAP BTP platform can transform the energy consumption data collected by EMQ into valuable business results, and better provide favorable data adjustment support for carbon peaking/carbon neutrality.

SAP & EMQ carbon neutral integration solution

In the carbon neutral integration solution, EMQ provides real-time collection and access of industrial energy consumption data, manufacturing process data, emission data, and new energy production data. The access data is filtered according to business needs through a flexible rule engine. , Processing, calculation, through high-speed real-time data bridging, the valuable data is further distributed to the corresponding consumer components through SAP Event Mesh, for example, through SAP Analytics Cloud or SAP HANA Cloud, the data is converted into carbon neutral analysis data, thereby providing Companies and regulatory agencies provide one-stop services from manufacturing to carbon emissions and carbon footprint analysis.

After collecting data through the EMQ X IIoT suite, using the data storage, data processing and report presentation capabilities of the SAP BTP platform, the carbon peak/carbon neutral smart solution can be quickly launched.

1. Enable the Cloud Foundry environment as a running container for the service and create a Space

2. Subscribe to the Event Mesh service and create an Event Mesh service instance in Space

3. Create Service Key, create Queue, generate Token based on Service Key, and use Token for EMQ connection

4. Configure the EMQ X rule engine to output data to SAP Event Mesh. At present, EMQ is connected to SAP Event Mesh through post API. In the next major version of EMQ, it will be better integrated with SAP Event Mesh and can be directly integrated. Adding SAP Event Mesh resources is more convenient and faster.

5. To view the data in SAP Event Mesh, you need to use Event Mesh's REST API consumption for query.

6. The energy consumption data stored in SAP HANA Cloud can be used for consumption display of SAP Analytics Cloud, S4/HANA, self-developed apps and other applications.

Future outlook

With the in-depth cooperation between SAP and EMQ, taking advantage of EMQ's capabilities in the IoT field, such as data access, preprocessing, and classified storage, SAP transforms the data into carbon neutral value analysis data at the business layer, and transforms it into standard carbon emissions Data analysis and carbon emission management in the fields of industry and transportation energy consumption will play a key guiding value for carbon emission governance.

As the long-term strategic direction of the future, the "dual-carbon strategy" is not only a global social issue, but also an issue of economic benefits. SAP and EMQ's carbon-neutral integration solution can not only help enterprises complete transformation and upgrade, save enterprise costs, but also promote the green economy, improve the quality of life and health of the people, and empower digital, green and intelligent construction technologies.

About SAP

SAP was founded in Germany in 1972 and is a leader in the global business software market. SAP originated from Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing. SAP is not only the name of the company, but also the software name of its product-enterprise management solutions. SAP is currently the number one ERP software in the world. In addition, the computer term SAP is also short for Stable Abstractions Principle. SAP is the world's third largest (ranked by market capitalization) independent software manufacturer. It has more than 100,000 corporate customers in more than 120 countries around the world, and employs more than 52,000 employees in 50 countries including Europe, America, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.
