SAP helps metals and mining companies enhance enterprise resource planning processes to improve efficiency and reduce costs through:

Real-time analytics that provides access to up-to-date insights on inventory, demand, and supply chains.
Procurement optimization to simplify supplier selection and improve expense transparency.
Asset performance management tools that help extend equipment lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.
Profitability and cost analysis for data-driven decision-making in financial departments.

SAP Solutions that make it possible:

SAP S/4HANA Cloud — Manage core processes with real-time analytics.
SAP Procurement Solutions — Transform and accelerate procurement processes.
SAP Asset Performance Management — Develop effective maintenance strategies, improve asset performance, and reduce environmental impact.
SAP Profitability and Performance Management — Perform detailed cost and profitability analysis to optimize financial processes.

Mining and metals operations involve large-scale assets, hazardous environments, and tight regulations. SAP helps manage these systems, whileAI adds speed, risk awareness, and decision support in ways traditional automation can't.

AI is already improving results in areas like:

Predictive maintenance of heavy machinery using sensor data (SAP Predictive Asset Insights).
Optimizing ore extraction routes with geological data and AI-driven simulations.
Monitoring worker safety through video analytics and AI alerts.
Forecasting commodity prices with market data analysis.

SAP’s AI tools cover much of this, and we help apply them effectively. For additional needs, we develop custom AI — including generative models — that fit your operational context and work seamlessly with your existing systems SAP or otherwise.
