Most discrete plants already run SAP S/4HANA, IBM Maximo, or Tulip — and they still lose hours every shift manually bridging AI alerts to work orders. iFactory ships a fully pre-configured AI server to your plant, connects it to your SAP, Maximo, and Tulip stack, trains the plant copilot on your equipment, and hands you the keys. Power and an internet uplink are the only things you provide. Get a quote and live demo — we turn around a fixed-price proposal within 5 business days.
Upcoming iFactory AI Live Webinar:
SAP S/4HANA, Maximo & Tulip Integration for Discrete Plants
A pre-built, pre-configured AI server with NVIDIA GB300 / H200 / Jetson silicon, SAP PM connectors pre-wired, plant copilot LLM tuned, and IEC 62443 cyber zones hardened — shipped to your plant, deployed by our engineers, owned by you. No cloud. No subscription. No data ever leaves your fence.
From Purchase Order to SAP-Connected AI — In 12 Weeks
iFactory dispatches network engineers and field technicians to your plant. We handle every cable, switch, PLC/SCADA connection, and SAP RFC setup. You watch it go live.
Remote walkthrough of your SAP version, Maximo generation, and Tulip app list. Connector fields mapped, fixed-price proposal issued.
AI server assembled. SAP RFC, Maximo REST, and Tulip webhook connectors configured. Plant copilot LLM pre-trained on your equipment list and SOPs.
Crate ships. Our engineers arrive. Cabling, network switches, IEC 62443 zoning, PLC/SCADA and SAP/Maximo/Tulip live connections — done.
AI alerts flowing into SAP work orders. Operator training complete. You own the platform, the model weights, and all data — fully and outright.
Your Supervisor Asks a Question. The AI Acts Across All Three Systems.
The plant copilot LLM runs on your on-site server — not in a cloud. It reads your SAP equipment master, Maximo work order backlog, and Tulip production actuals in real time. One question. Actions across all three platforms.
Three Connectors. Pre-Wired. No Integration Project.
Every iFactory AI server ships with SAP RFC, Maximo REST/OSLC, and Tulip webhook connectors already configured. Our engineers map the fields during the site survey — you approve, we deploy. Get a connector mapping session before committing to a quote.

You Buy It Once. You Own It Forever.
iFactory is a one-time capital purchase — not a subscription. Once deployed, the hardware, AI models, trained weights, and all plant data belong entirely to you. Future costs are entirely optional and at your discretion.
Hardware, apps, on-site deployment, operator training, and year-one support — all on a single purchase order. It sits on your balance sheet as a depreciable asset, not a monthly cloud line item.
The server, the OS, the AI models, the trained weights, the SAP/Maximo/Tulip connectors, and every byte of plant data. Full audit rights. No vendor lock on data export. No kill switch.
Year-one remote support and model retraining is included. After that, renew the support contract annually, bring it fully in-house, or mix both. The platform runs either way — your choice, entirely.

What Buyers Ask Before Issuing a PO
No. The fully-loaded NVIDIA AI server is supplied and installed by iFactory. It ships pre-configured with all AI apps and integration connectors. You do not source hardware separately.
RFC connectors work across SAP ECC 6.0, S/4HANA on-premise, and S/4HANA RISE. Tell support your SAP version — we'll confirm compatibility before the quote.
The platform keeps running. You own the server, OS, apps, and model weights outright. Renew remote support annually, run in-house, or mix. No kill switch. No forced upgrades.
Yes. Regional teams in the US, EU, India, and APAC. Hardware ships pre-configured. Engineers handle every cable, switch, and PLC/SCADA connection on-site. Schedule a call to get a timeline for your plant location.
