SAP Cumulocity IoT
Unlock the power of real-time insights and predictive maintenance with SAP Cumulocity IoT – Simplifying connectivity, optimising performance.
While Cumulocity IoT is a product of Software AG, SAP Cumulocity IoT was developed through a partnership between SAP and the multinational software corporation. The platform serves as a key enabler for intelligent asset management, reflecting SAP’s evolved approach to IoT management. It succeeds SAP Leonardo, which has now reached the end of its lifecycle.
This new platform simplifies connectivity, optimises performance, and integrates seamlessly with SAP’s broader EAM framework – specifically SAP’s Asset Performance Management platform.
SAP Cumulocity IoT: Simplify Connectivity and Optimise Maintenance
At On Device Solutions, as a proud SAP Gold Partner, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower businesses to manage their assets effectively.
With SAP Cumulocity IoT, embedded within SAP Asset Performance Management (APM), SAP enterprises can gain real-time insights and automation to optimise maintenance strategies and reduce downtime.
What is SAP Cumulocity IoT?
SAP Cumulocity IoT is an innovative platform designed to handle complex and fragmented IoT landscapes. It simplifies connectivity scenarios, integrates seamlessly with diverse IoT and operational technology (OT) data sources, and enables enterprises to extract actionable insights from their equipment and sensors.
By embedding this industry-leading IoT technology within SAP APM, Cumulocity IoT empowers enterprises to predict potential equipment failures, enhance operational efficiency, and improve overall asset health management.

Benefits of SAP Cumulocity IoT
Improved Asset Reliability
Monitor and manage equipment health proactively, reducing unplanned outages.
Optimised Maintenance Strategies
Use insights from IoT data to create actionable maintenance schedules.
Enhanced Efficiency
Reduce integration complexity and streamline IoT/OT operations for better resource utilisation.
Cost Savings
Minimise downtime and repair costs with predictive and preventive maintenance practices.
Potential Use Case:
An energy company could leverage SAP Cumulocity IoT integrated with SAP APM to monitor electrical generators and turbines. By analysing streaming sensor data for indicators such as vibrations, the platform can detect anomalies and predict failures. Based on these anomalies, SAP APM can create notifications/work orders in the SAP EAM system. This approach has the potential to significantly reduce equipment downtime, potentially leading to an 11% reduction in production losses based on similar industry applications
