LEIBINGER’s ‘Plug & Print’ promise now also applies to SAP Shop Floor environments
SAP ranks among the leading ERP systems worldwide. Especially in the food and packaging sectors, SAP plays a key role in the efficient organisation of supply chain processes. As so many LEIBINGER customers come from these sectors, the industrial printer specialist will be offering SAP users even greater convenience, security and efficiency when connecting printers to SAP Shop Floor in the future.

Collaboration with 4IoT GmbH: Simple printer integration
In collaboration with the Freiburg-based SAP digitalisation experts at 4IoT GmbH, their SAP Shop Floor Connect add-on has been expanded to include a LEIBINGER printer library. This enables all LEIBINGER printers to be connected to SAP Plug & Play in a standard application. Michael Wöhrmann, Director of Business Development at LEIBINGER, is delighted with the successful integration: “This represents a significant advantage for our customers, as LEIBINGER printers can now be integrated into the SAP world much more quickly and efficiently. With this work as a foundation, essential customer printer-related business processes can be automated. All printer data and messages are directly available. For instance, automated order releases or production feedback into the SAP system are conceivable. All printer data and messages are directly available.”
Efficient dashboard for LEIBINGER customers directly in SAP
LEIBINGER customers who use SAP now benefit from a clearly organised dashboard where they can view all status data, error messages and process data, including consumables levels (ink and solvents).
Flexible interfaces: Cloud and on-premises
The interface fulfils all requirements and can be operated both in the cloud via the well-known ‘LEIBINGER Connect’ portal as well as on-premises. LEIBINGER’s latest flagship product, the IQJET, provides an OPC UA interface for the on-premises connection. This is especially interesting for sensitive industries such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, security and defence.
Availability and support package for Europe
Customers interested in the SAP add-on can obtain it from LEIBINGER with immediate effect. The connection of LEIBINGER printers is free of charge. If additional guidance and support is required, LEIBINGER offers a special support package in collaboration with 4IoT GmbH. This includes integration, training and extended telephone support for SAP users. The offer is initially only valid for Europe due to the binding support times.
Expert opinion
4IoT GmbH Managing Director Stefan Rössel is extremely satisfied with the integration project: “We are experts in automation, digitalisation and maximum security in the SAP environment and have extensively tested the interface. It has never been so easy, secure and reliable for SAP users to seamlessly integrate industrial printers into their SAP Shop Floor world. The collaboration with the LEIBINGER team is extremely productive for everyone involved.”
Presentation at the FACHPACK trade fair
The SAP Shop Floor integration will be presented at the upcoming FACHPACK trade fair between 24 and 26 September in Nuremberg. LEIBINGER’s motto this year is ‘The Art of Innovative Coding’. It ideally suits the 4IoT motto, ‘The Art of Smart Manufacturing’, which underscores the fine art of digital integration.
