Manufacturing Manager is an SAP-based add-on that integrates MES functions directly into SAP ERP or S/4HANA. It replaces external MES systems and enables digital control and monitoring of manufacturing processes – including machine integration, real-time data, and role-based user interfaces.
2. Which companies is Manufacturing Manager suitable for?
The solution is aimed at manufacturing companies using SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA that want to digitize their production processes, regardless of industry or company size. It is particularly suitable for companies seeking transparency and automation, and those that want to introduce process integration on the shop floor.
3. Which modules are included in Manufacturing Manager?
You get:
- Production order entry & confirmation
- Machine and sensor connection (IoT)
- Traceability & batch tracking
- Kanban control
- Production data acquisition (PDA)
- Reporting and business intelligence (BI)
4. How is Manufacturing Manager differerent from a traditional MES system?
Where traditional MES systems are external, Manufacturing Manager operates directly within the SAP environment. There are no interfaces or redundant data storage. This makes your system less complex, with better data quality. You can thus enjoy accelerated processes, with full ERP integration.
5. Is Manufacturing Manager compatible with SAP S/4HANA?
Yes, Manufacturing Manager is fully compatible with SAP S/4HANA and can also be integrated into existing SAP ERP systems. It uses SAP Fiori technology and is designed to be future-proof for SAP strategies.
6. How does machine integration work in Manufacturing Manager?
The connection is established via standardized interfaces, such as OPC UA, MQTT, or REST APIs. The machine and sensor data are automatically transferred to SAP where they can be used in real time—for example, for evaluations or status messages.
7. Can it be used on mobile devices?
Yes, thanks to the SAP Fiori interfaces, Manufacturing Manager is fully mobile-enabled. Employees can use functions on tablets, industrial panel PCs, or mobile scanners—browser-based and role-based.
8. How long does implementation take?
That depends on the scope of your project. Most customers start with a modular approach – a typical pilot project takes 2–4 months. The solution is scalable and grows with your needs.
9. Can Manufacturing Manager also be operated in the cloud?
Yes, Manufacturing Manager can run both on-premise and in the cloud (e.g., SAP BTP or private cloud). The choice depends on your SAP system architecture and IT strategy.
10. How much does Manufacturing Manager cost?
The costs depend on the desired range of functions, the number of users, and the integration effort. We would be happy to provide you with a customized quote during a personal consultation or live demo.
