Overcoming challenges to achieve manufacturing operational excellence

  • An image of data not being interconnected

    No linkage between the digitized data and data from shopfloor processes and applications

  • An image of being constantly occupied with the daily operation of factory production systems

    Operational problems from factory manufacturing system operations

  • An image of not being able to see the factory processes in real-time

    No real-time data-driven insights from shopfloor processes from suppliers and overseas factories

Capabilities of SAP® Digital Manufacturing

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution continues, we see increasing efforts to significantly transform the manufacturing industry business model. IoT is at the heart of this, and it is increasingly important to gain a full understanding of all kinds of real-time data from the manufacturing shopfloor.
SAP® Digital Manufacturing visualizes problems, issues, and offers counter measures for all steps of the production process—from manufacturing management to execution—and makes it possible to hare accurate information and generate data-driven insights in real time to expedite top-level decision-making.
