The Future of Worker Management: SAP DM POD 2.0 Under the Microscope
What will the manufacturing of tomorrow look like? In our videocast series, we take an exclusive look at the heart of SAP Digital Manufacturing: the new POD 2.0 Framework. Hear from Stephan Eisenacher (Product Manager at SAP) and our experts Dominik and Niklas (consultants at io) about why this update is revolutionizing efficiency on the shop floor and how you can benefit from the insights gained during the intensive beta phase.
What You Can Expect from the Videos
- Maximum Flexibility Through Low-Code: POD 2.0 breaks away from the rigid structures of its predecessor. Thanks to the new WYSIWYG designer, custom dashboards can be configured via drag-and-drop—including a live preview with real sample data.
- Performance & User Experience: Learn how drastically reduced loading times optimize workers’ workflow and sustainably increase acceptance of digital systems on the shop floor.
- Innovation for Regulated Industries: We highlight how medical technology and pharmaceutical companies can now directly implement requirements such as the Electronic Batch Record (EBR) and the dual-control principle right within the standard system.
- Enhanced Connectivity: Discover the possibilities of embedding external websites and apps directly into the user interface, as well as seamless data transfer to the SAP Process Engine.
- Future-Proofing & AI: A look ahead at the integration of AI agents and context-based instructions that support workers in making complex decisions in real time.
Insights from the Field & SAP Product Management
"The POD is at the heart of digital manufacturing. With Version 2.0, we've made the solution as robust, stable, and scalable as possible—a real driver of productivity."
“Thanks to the expanded context in POD 2.0, we have much more data directly at our disposal. For our customers, this means more configuration options, less time-consuming coding, and significantly faster maintainability.”
Your Benefits at a Glance
- Customized User Guidance: Features such as conditional buttons (e.g., displayed only when the status is active) guide employees step-by-step through the process.
- Quick Customization: Changes to font sizes, colors, or layouts can be implemented in no time without requiring full-stack developer skills.
- Edge readiness: Full reliability thanks to the ability to deploy POD layouts and extensions directly at the edge.
- Harmonized processes: Cross-industry plugins (e.g., Component Consumption) simplify material tracking across all industrial sectors.
