Manufacturing and industrial AI specialist Cogniac has integrated its AI and machine vision platform Visual Operations Intelligence with SAP’s Digital Manufacturing Cloud. The integration provides SAP customers with AI-based analytics of their industrial visual data.

Cogniac’s Visual Operations Intelligence platform uses no-code AI, enabling companies to maximise the value of their visual data. By integrating with SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud, capabilities of the Cogniac platform are now accessible within the solution’s architecture, providing advanced AI machine vision technology across a variety of industries.

Cogniac’s AI machine vision platform is designed to drive process improvements, and provide improvements in defect detection, operational safety and production efficiency.

“Today marks an important moment in Cogniac’s growth,” said Vahan Tchakerian, chief partnership officer at Cogniac. “Through our valuable experience in the SAP.iO Foundries programme and our partnership with SAP, businesses that use SAP solutions will now have access to Cogniac technology. By offering our platform on SAP Store, we are able to scale more efficiently and deliver exceptional performance in the manufacturing and industrial sectors.”

Building on its Intelligent Enterprise strategy, SAP is expanding its vertical solutions with an ecosystem of industry cloud applications. These solutions complement the existing SAP portfolio to extend the value of joint customer investments.

“The Visual Operations Intelligence platform developed by Cogniac complements our portfolio and enables an AI-based approach to customers looking to extract value from their visual data,” commented Stefan Krauss, SVP General Manager Discrete Industries and Energy and Natural Resources at SAP. “This is a prime example of how co-innovation between our organisations can deliver value for customers. We look forward to continued collaboration with Cogniac to create innovative cloud solutions and applications for customers who want to drive cost-effective and sustainable growth in their industry.”

SAP recently brought together SAP Store and SAP App Centre into one single marketplace at store.sap.com. It provides access to more than 1,800 solutions from SAP and its partners.
