Smart Solutions for the Future Era

Enterprise technology.Business knowledge.AI innovation.

Futera connects SAP, AI, documents, cloud and the factory floor into one working machine, and protects the SAP investment you already have.

Operating principle

Futera's strength is not simply software development. It is years of practical experience inside enterprise operations: production, supply chain, quality and logistics, and the SAP systems that run them.

We can look at an existing process, see where it loses time, design a better one and implement it. Technology is how the better process gets delivered. It is not the goal.

From business to technology

Every Futera project follows the same order.

  1. Stage 1 of 5

    Business challenge

    It starts with a problem in the operation, described in the words of the people who live with it.

    • Invoices wait days for manual entry
    • Production reports arrive a shift late
    • Nobody trusts the inventory number
  2. Stage 2 of 5

    Process analysis

    We follow the process end to end and find out why it behaves the way it does.

    • What happens today, and why
    • Where the delays and errors enter
    • Which steps exist only out of habit
  3. Stage 3 of 5

    Solution architecture

    We decide what belongs in SAP, what belongs outside it, and how the parts talk to each other.

    • SAP remains the system of record
    • Specialized services sit around the core
    • Every interface has an owner and a purpose
  4. Stage 4 of 5

    SAP + integration + AI

    One team builds the whole chain, from the ABAP logic to the user screen to the AI service.

    • ABAP, CDS and OData in the core
    • SAP Fiori applications for the people doing the work
    • AI and Python services where they add value
  5. Stage 5 of 5

    Operational result

    The process runs differently on Monday morning, and the change can be measured.

    • Less manual work and re-keying
    • Data captured when and where it happens
    • A process people can see, audit and improve

Line 01 / Document intelligence

AI that works inside the process.

AI should not live in a disconnected chatbot. It becomes valuable when it understands enterprise data and takes part in actual business processes. Watch a document become an SAP transaction.

  1. Station 1DocumentInvoice, packing list, certificate
  2. Station 2AI extractionReads and classifies
  3. Station 3Business validationChecked against SAP data and rules
  4. Station 4SAPPosted through the standard process
  5. Station 5AutomationFollow-up steps run on their own

People confirm what the AI is unsure about. Their corrections teach the system each vendor's documents and your business rules.

Control panel / 12 modules

One machine. Twelve modules.

Twelve capabilities in five layers, covered by one team so nothing is lost at the handoffs.

Cell 01 / Shop floor

From the plan to the machine, and back.

Orders and recipes travel down to the controllers. Counts, states and measurements travel back up to SAP.

  1. SAPPlans, orders, materials, quality, costs
  2. MESProduction execution, reporting, OEE
  3. SAP PCo / OPC UAReads controller tags, normalizes and routes machine data
  4. PLC / controllersReal-time control of the equipment
  5. MachinesWhere the product is actually made

Lab / Delivered projects

Projects and innovation lab.

Real engagements on SAP: from OEE measured at the controller to AI agents that turn a customer's PDF into a sales order. Each one shows the challenge, the design and how the data flows.

Delivered project

MES, OEE and live machine data

Manufacturing, IoT, Integration

Production orders travel from SAP to the line. Cycles, states and stops travel back from the controllers through SAP Plant Connectivity (PCo) and OPC UA. OEE is measured from the machine, not estimated from paper.

  2. SAP PCo / OPC UA
  3. MES
  4. OEE
  5. SAP PP + QM

Delivered project

AI-assisted sales order creation

AI & Automation, SAP Fiori & Web Apps, Document Intelligence

Customer purchase orders are read by AI agents that resolve part numbers to SAP materials and pull prices from the quotation. The sales desk confirms in one fast web screen, and the order is created in SAP.

  1. Customer document
  2. Reading agent
  3. Material agent
  4. Pricing agent
  5. Review
  6. SAP sales order

Delivered project

Certificates of analysis read by AI

AI & Automation, Document Intelligence, Quality

Supplier certificates of analysis are read by AI, the measured values are matched to the SAP inspection lot, and quality staff follow every document from arrival to recorded results in one web screen.

  2. AI extraction
  3. Inspection lot
  4. Comparison

Delivered project

Mobile maintenance for technicians and planners

Maintenance, SAP Fiori & Web Apps, Manufacturing

Technicians work from a mobile application: their orders, checklists, spare parts and confirmations. Planners run the maintenance module from a web interface: planning, scheduling and preventive maintenance. Both write to SAP PM.

  1. Notification
  2. Planning
  3. Technician
  4. Confirmation
  5. SAP PM

Team / End to end

One team for the whole chain.

Most projects lose time at the handoffs: business to IT, SAP to integration, software to the shop floor. Futera covers the chain end to end.

  1. Business requirement
  2. SAP data
  3. Business logic
  4. User experience
  5. Integration
  6. AI
  7. Shop floor
  • Process knowledge before technology

    We can challenge a requirement because we understand the operation behind it, not only the system.

  • Deep SAP engineering

    ECC and S/4HANA, classic ABAP and modern CDS and OData. We extend what works instead of replacing it.

  • Manufacturing and supply chain from the inside

    Production confirmations, batches, goods movements and containers are everyday vocabulary for us.

  • SAP Fiori, designed around the job

    Fiori and SAPUI5 applications for the dock, the aisle, the sales desk and the line, on desktop, tablet and phone.

  • AI that takes part in the process

    Extraction, validation and agents connected to SAP documents, with people in control.

  • Down to the machine

    Integration does not stop at the API. We connect MES, PLCs and production equipment through PCo and OPC UA, and measure OEE from the machine.
