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.

Solution: Datazone as data serving layer, decoupled from SAP

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.
