Creating a complex data model

For the completeness of the data model, it was of great importance to gain a detailed understanding of the mtu products and to understand which components of the machines should be recorded in which form in the data management and how they relate to each other. Only with this insight can a data model be created that truly fully represents the business process and the products.

Solution

Data import into Pimcore – Proof of Concept

In an initial workshop, the requirements for the data model were recorded. Subsequently, in close consultation with the Power Systems business unit, a sophisticated data model was developed that optimally mapped the desired business process. After the implementation of the data model including all object classes and structures for assets in Pimcore, the data import from the ERP system was set up. With the help of the Data Hub, a prototype import job was created. With this, any amount of data could now be imported from the ERP system into Pimcore, so that the completeness of the data model could be finally checked. The imported data could now be channelled through the respective workflows. The display was adapted with custom views and custom layouts for different user groups. In addition, an export of the data via GraphQL interface was set up and various options for generating print documents were examined and evaluated.
