SAP Predictive Engineering Insights uses 3-D software to combine the evaluation of the sensor data concerning forces, stresses, and material fatigue that arise in a system, allowing companies to gain an insight into the devices. The solution is a component of SAP Leonardo , a product portfolio in which the Walldorf-based software company brings together its IoT-relevant products. These include SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service and the SAP Asset Intelligence Network , which can be connected to Predictive Engineering Insights and extended.

SAP purchased the know-how for the software with the takeover of Norwegian company Fedem Technology . With the aid of digital twins and predictive maintenance the software is to improve the availability and performance of systems and thus also efficiency. Other features include big data analyses and simulations that enable live management of the supervised systems.
