The collaboration launched in November 2014. It aims to develop industrial applications for the Internet of Things, a combination of computing, networking, and telecommunications technologies that allows firms to digitize real-world processes in many industries.

The joint showcase of SAP and Huawei at CeBIT 2015 featured a physical model of a construction project that attracted the attention of many high profile visitors. The model allows visitors to simulate operational events such as the failure of a concrete pump and monitor the adjustment of production capacity and fleet scheduling in real-time on a computer screen. Changes to production plans made by the software system are then applied back to a miniature plant in the physical model.
SAP board members Gerd Oswald, Ingrid-Helen Arnold, and Michael Kleinemeier visited the booth at CeBIT. Other external guests like senior executives including William Xu, Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer of Huawei, and the Mayor the City of Nanjing has paid their visited to our booth.
