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 Transition 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.

Best practices for successful SAP transport management (SAP TM)
Achieve integrated processes and consistent master data utilization across your solutions by implementing SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP with SAP Digital Manufacturing, facilitated by SAP Cloud Integration. It is possible to connect multiple ERP systems to one central Manufacturing Execution System while the data transfer can be broadly categorized into master data and transactional data.
We quickly enable data exchange between SAP DM and the SAP S/4HANA Cloud via the Communication Management app. Since SAP Digital Manufacturing is a software service on the SAP Business Technology Platform, no additional integration with SAP Cloud Integration or a cloud connector is required.
Gain transparency of your material movement, automate your component and material staging as well as consumption and booking by tightly integrating manufacturing execution and warehouse management processes and systems. By combining SAP Digital Manufacturing with SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), we enable the planned and efficient handling of logistics processes in the warehouse and the subsequent provision for downstream manufacturing processes as well as for the storage of finished products.
Benefit from increased efficiency, enhanced visibility, and improved decision-making by integrating physical machines to your SAP Digital Manufacturing system with SAP Plant Connectivity (PCo).
SAP PCo facilitates seamless communication between machines and various production processes. This enables better synchronization and optimizing manufacturing activities as well as predictive maintenance. It reduces downtime and enhances your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
Camelot facilitates the tight integration of your SAP DM solution into your resource and asset management to enhance operational efficiency and resource optimization in modern manufacturing environments.
