Guidance for Semiconductor Supply Chain Resiliency Using SAP® on AWS

Overview

This Guidance demonstrates how to use SAP to integrate data from enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution systems (MES), or product lifecycle management (PLM) into engineering and business intelligence dashboards on AWS. Data is collected from multiple sources, transferred to a data lake, prepared for analytics, and then integrated with a business insights dashboard for supply chain stakeholders to report, monitor, and optimize engineering operations.

How it works

These technical details feature an architecture diagram to illustrate how to effectively use this solution. The architecture diagram shows the key components and their interactions, providing an overview of the architecture's structure and functionality step-by-step.

Well-Architected Pillars

The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.

The QuickSight dashboard provides the actionable insights required to quickly react to changes in supply and demand, and enables yield management across the entire semiconductor supply chain.

For secure authentication and authorization, customers can implement federated AWS access to directory services on-premises and use AWS Directory Service. Authentication and authorization can be used across the entire architecture, from the remote desktop to running batch jobs.

Read the Security whitepaper

By leveraging AWS IoT Core services, customers are leveraging secure connections between devices and the AWS Cloud. AWS IoT Core services use highly reliable, messaging queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) for the data input from third-party partners. Therefore, temporary transfer issues should be minimized or even eliminated.
