SAP Digital Manufacturing (SAP DM)
SAP Digital Manufacturing is SAP’s cloud-based Manufacturing Execution System (MES). The solution is provided as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and offers extensive functionalities for planning, executing, monitoring and documenting production processes as well as far-reaching options to improve transparency in production. Continuous performance improvement is built on real-time analyses – from data within one plant or across plants, from individual production areas to meaningful key figures for management.
When you introduce SAP Digital Manufacturing backed by our implementation experience, you are setting the course for modern and future-oriented production.
The integration of SAP Digital Manufacturing into your SAP Enterprise Resource System (ERP), which does not necessarily have to be a cloud solution, and the seamless interaction with SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM), create efficient flows of processes, information and ultimately material. The modern MES cloud solution boosts innovation in production
- quarterly software releases constantly expand the solution’s scope
- the Business Technology Platform (BTP) combined with the low-code approach simplify future expansions – artificial intelligence developments being a topical example
- end device independence paves the way for efficient, cost-optimized and targeted use wherever the information is processed or required
