SAP PEO was a novel platform without a standard method to talk to machine devices, so the client sought a partner with experience integrating complex systems. DMC worked with the client on designing the system and developing functional specifications which included defining the specific message structures for passing data between all systems.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once the specifications were complete, DMC developed the code offline. Getting an early start on development offline enabled us to meet a tight deadline. As a part of the project process, we held weekly check-ins with the client to review the project status and demonstrate the software via simulation to keep a tight feedback loop on development. DMC also worked closely with the SAP development team to ensure the two systems would communicate seamlessly once deployed. This included multiple rounds of UATs, weekly check-in meetings, and quality checks.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>When offline development was complete, DMC went onsite to the customer\u2019s facility to successfully commission the system and perform operator training. DMC\u2019s flexible code structure and robust logging systems made it easy to test the live system and make last-minute changes, resulting in an on-time SCADA acceptance test.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Battery SCADA station status\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.dmcinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/27165408\/battery-scada-status-1.png\"  \/><br \/>\r\n<em>Figure 2-line overview.
