SAP Offload for World-Class Manufacturing
Arçelik-LG Klima—a 50/50 joint venture between Arçelik and LG Electronics. Operating from Gebze since 1999, manufacturing millions of AC units annually for global markets.
Their SAP ERP stored 25+ years of transactional data. But using it as a data serving layer created bottlenecks: slow queries, fragile connections, production system load. Partners needed access. Finance and operations ran reports from disconnected sources.
System Architecture Change
What Was Built
SAP Offload & Unified Data Foundation
SAP transactional records and MES manufacturing data replicated into the Datazone Lakehouse. SAP no longer serves queries—it handles transactions only.
All operational data consolidated into a single governed schema. Production, logistics, finance—same data model. No silos. No reconciliation.
Downstream consumers (dashboards, reports, partners) connect to Datazone, not SAP. High-performance, decoupled, scales independently.
Governed Data Serving & Partner Access
Clean, versioned data products exposed through a governed access layer. Internal teams, suppliers, external partners—all self-serve through structured APIs. No direct database connections. No ad-hoc SAP queries.
AI-Ready Infrastructure
Data foundation built for AI agent deployment. Agents can answer questions about production line performance, surface anomalies, support partner self-service—all querying clean, governed data products instead of raw tables.
In their words
Our data was spread across SAP, MES, and other systems. Datazone brought it all into one governed layer — accessible, reliable, and ready for AI. Our teams don't have to chase data across systems anymore — they can ask questions of our factory data and get straight answers.
