SAP Manufacturing
The SAP Manufacturing solution portfolio enables organizations to apply Industry 4.0 principles and to digitalize and automate their execution processes.
Introducing SAP Digital Manufacturing (DM)
SAP DM is a cloud-based, scalable Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that enables global manufacturers to manage and control manufacturing and shopfloor operations and realize Industry 4.0 scenarios. It provides the coordination of planning and execution processes, covering all aspects of the manufacturing cycle: from planning to the shopfloor and beyond. Camelot offers implementation and extension services to deploy SAP DM on a global scale.
Transitioning from SAP ME/MII to DM
SAP ME and SAP MII are enterprise-level Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). They provide a set of features like Production Operator Dashboards, Shop Order Execution, or Nonconformance Management allowing global manufacturers to manage and control manufacturing operations as well as integrate shopfloor and business systems. Camelot offers implementation, extension, and transition services to move from on-premise to a next-generation digital manufacturing solution in the cloud.
Integrating to the Shopfloor with SAP Plant Connectivity
The integration of machines and IoT devices on the shopfloor enables real-time monitoring, data collection, automation, and the synchronization of processes. This leads to increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced competitiveness. We provide machine and device integration services to SAP DM by leveraging standardized communication protocols and pre-built connectors of SAP Plant Connectivity. The tight integration of machines and devices to the MES system ultimately empowers organizations to optimize manufacturing processes, improve their decision-making, and drive operational excellence.
From SAP ME/MII to Digital Manufacturing (DM)
The Time to start your Transition journey Is Now
In today’s dynamic manufacturing landscape, global organizations need an advanced Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to drive operational excellence, improve efficiency, and stay competitive. While SAP ME/MII has been a reliable solution in the last years, SAP Digital Manufacturing shines as the choice for manufacturing companies, aiming to build future-ready manufacturing operations and move towards Industry 4.0.
Camelot provides a guided approach for greenfield, brownfield, and bluefield customers to transition towards an advanced Manufacturing Execution System and digitalized, automated operations in the cloud.
Phase 1: Check the Readiness
This phase entails a comprehensive assessment of the existing and future needs for your transformation. While considering future business goals and priorities, we also focus on your organizational and solution maturity. The outcome of this phase is the definition of your tailored transformation approach.
Phase 2: Analyze the Scope
The second phase includes conducting a comprehensive pre-study to understand the complexity and size of your deployment. This includes current business processes, requirements, and existing digital manufacturing technology. Based on the results, your individual SAP DM readiness and transformation roadmap are defined.
Phase 3: Execute the Roadmap
