Challenges
Manufacturers are confronted with two options for shopfloor tasks confirmation:
- SAP S/4HANA standard confirmation:
- manual and time-consuming data entry
- limited user guidance
- no consolidated cockpit
- minimal real-time feedback
- Full MES system:
- expensive and time-consuming to implement
- complex integration
- high training needs
- not always suitable for every production scale
Manufacturers need a middle ground: low cost but high usability, simple but fully integrated, intuitive but flexible.
Why conOE?
Manufacturing companies need fast, intuitive, and reliable shopfloor execution processes. While SAP S/4HANA offers standard confirmations, many organizations face challenges around usability, speed, real-time integration, and scalability—particularly in high-volume production environments.
conOE (concircleOperationExecution) addresses this gap with a modern Fiori user interface, clean-core integration, real-time data exchange with S/4HANA, and full flexibility for shopfloor-centric workflows.
The solution enables shopfloor workers to execute, confirm, record, and monitor operations with minimal clicks and maximum clarity. conOE is an (cloud-first) add-on for production execution for:
- fast and intuitive operation confirmations
- real-time SAP S/4HANA integration
- Clean Core extensibility
- easy configuration without custom code
