Case Study: Sika Sarnafil achieves continuous real-time SAP connectivity and five‑nines uptime with Stratus Technologies ftServer

Real-Time Data Intelligence Using SAP Software On Stratus Servers

Sika Sarnafil, a North American manufacturer of thermoplastic roofing and waterproofing systems, needed to move from once‑a‑day shop‑floor data uploads to real‑time, two‑way connectivity with its corporate SAP ERP in Germany. Because any outage could now disrupt operations—and the Canton plant has only one IT staffer—the company required a continuously available, low‑maintenance solution that would prevent data loss and support faster decision‑making.

Sika implemented SAP MII on Stratus ftServer, a fault‑tolerant, plug‑and‑play platform that delivers 99.999+% uptime. The deployment provided continuous real‑time visibility into production, improved operational efficiency and quality, minimized the risk of unplanned outages, and reduced the management burden on plant IT.
