SAP Manufacturing Industry 4.0 with the SAP software suite
On the road towards INDUSTRY 4.0, the continued improvement and more widespread use of MES functionality – and in all sectors of manufacturing – is of central importance. The familiar MES topics of transparency and traceability – plus efficient personnel management – are now being extended to include system integration and sensor data analysis while also ensuring flexibility and adaptability in production. Open systems, with service-oriented, decentralised architecture and standardised options for interfacing machinery are important preconditions here. Complementing their extensive core functions, MES systems from SAP also have these properties from the outset.
With SAP Manufacturing Execution (SAP ME), SAP has provided a fully-featured and configurable MES system for use in discrete manufacturing.
SAP MII (SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence) is the proven solution for the process industry. Pre-configured solutions from IGZ for bulk production, continuous flow production and filling/packaging build on this by ensuring rapid rollouts and a solid ROI.
Integration with SAP ERP (SAP Enterprise-Resource-Planning) is part of the solution! The MES modules from SAP are the only MES systems on the market that actually offer integration as standard plus a range of other integration scenarios with SAP ERP (SAP Enterprise-Resource-Planning) out-of-the-box. This ensures that ERP integration work will be compatible with later releases.
The IGZ service portfolio not only includes strategic consulting on MES deployment and subsequent SAP implementation as well as direct SAP/system/machinery integration but also covers any and all manual or automated production facilities and shopfloor systems.
IGZ – the SAP Engineers – can look back on a wealth of experience and reference projects both within discrete manufacturing and the process industry.
Our customers' primary objective is a high degree of SAP integration and the increase in efficiency, stability, transparency and quality, as well as reductions in ongoing operating costs.
Fields of competences
SAP Modules
SAP DMC (SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud)
With SAP DMC (Digital Manufacturing Cloud), SAP has launched a flexibly scalable cloud MES system that supports production managers and employees on the store floor and guides them through each individual assembly step, even with batch size 1.
The manufacturing solution is directly integrated with SAP S/4HANA as well as the existing SAP ERP ECC, which is used to plan production orders including available resources (machines, employees, etc.) and trigger all follow-up processes. The cloud-based MES system also creates end-to-end transparency across sites, even on a global level, about plants, selected workstations or individual machines.
Analysis functions in conjunction with KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and Machine Learning (ML) promote rapid decision-making. The generated reports can be displayed in the cloud - also in real time.
SAP ME (SAP Manufacturing Execution)
SAP ME is the MES system from SAP for all your discrete manufacturing needs!
SAP Manufacturing Execution is a high-performance, scalable, enterprise-level manufacturing solution that enables complete, component-level and material-level visibility for both individual and global installations.
SAP ME supports and enables:
- Error-free development and production from day one
- Detailed modelling of the manufacturing process
- Dynamic control and monitoring at WIP level
In addition, production information is collected and communicated in real time throughout the entire production life cycle.
The result is an aggregated record of the entire product history. This is stored permanently, thereby fulfilling the statutory documentation requirements and contributing to efficient decision-making.

SAP MII (SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence)
With SAP MII, SAP provides a web-based, standardised and flexible IT platform for vertical integration in production. This combines the various steps necessary for process-oriented production with SAP ERP.
As a central information hub, SAP MII extracts and interprets data from various sources (such as shop floor systems), and offers a wide range of monitoring, controlling and control options for process optimisation and increased production efficiency.
This makes SAP MII the central element of a KPI-driven production process that is characterised by efficiency, availability and quality. SAP MII relies on tight integration with SAP ERP. SAP MII makes it possible to act early, rather than to react, and also to exploit and purposefully control hitherto hidden productivity and quality potential.
Via our proprietary SAP MII Best Practices, IGZ offers pre-configured solutions for integrated and efficient production processes throughout SAP MII, especially for process industries.
