Just like any manufacturing process, discrete production thrives on a digitalized, optimized solution. The standard SAP MES solution, SAP Digital Manufacturing (DM), offers a foundation for most discrete manufacturing needs, including:
- Order dispatching
- Employee shift planning
- Order confirmation
- Batch/serial number management
- Inspection lot handling
- Work instructions
- Non-conformance management
- Traceability
- Machine connectivity
While SAP DM offers a strong foundation, CNC machining requires specialized functionalities specifically for tool handling, NC program management, and setup guidance.
To extend the standard SAP DM solution, our experts developed a CNC add-on for SAP Digital Manufacturing — conDNC.
Your benefits at one glance:
- Out-of-the-box integration with tool management solutions (TDM systems, Zoller, and more) to fully integrate the tool preparation and tool loading process into SAP Digital Manufacturing.
- The MES screen shows the operator all relevant information regarding tool preparation status as well as machine status.
- NC programs are directly transferred to the machine control (DNC) and changed programs are transferred back to the NC program storage, allowing for multiple clampings within one production operation.
These feature packs utilize the inbound extension mechanisms of SAP DM as well as the SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) as the underlying technology platform. Our clear roadmap aligned with SAP DM assures the continuous addition of new features based on market feedback.
Overall, our SAP MES for CNC machinery offers a very comprehensive feature package which allows for optimized OEE and runs the production processes in an efficient and error-proof way. It comes well integrated with other essential SAP standard products like SAP S4/HANA or SAP PPDS.
