HANNOVER, Germany, April 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE:
SAP) today introduced the release of SAP® Digital Manufacturing
Cloud, a new solution to help companies optimize performance,
elevate production quality and efficiency, and ensure worker
safety. Drawing on SAP's expertise in the Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT), predictive analytics and supply networks, the
solution enables manufacturers to deploy Industry 4.0 technologies
in the cloud. The announcement was made at Hannover Messe 2018,
being held April 23–27 in Hannover,
Germany.
The new cloud solution extends and complements the digital
manufacturing portfolio of on-premise solutions from SAP and is
available in different bundles to serve manufacturers of varying
sizes in both discrete and process industries and roles within
their respective organizations.
SAP customers can choose from the SAP Digital Manufacturing
Cloud solution for execution, which provides all solutions in the
manufacturing cloud portfolio, or the SAP Digital Manufacturing
Cloud solution for insights, which focuses on performance
management and predictive quality.
"Manufacturers in the era of Industry 4.0 require solutions that
are intelligent, networked and predictive," said Bernd Leukert, Member of the Executive Board of
SAP SE, Products & Innovation. "Our manufacturing cloud
solutions help customers take advantage of the Industrial Internet
of Things by connecting equipment, people and operations across the
extended digital supply chain and tightly integrating manufacturing
with business operations."
SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud includes the following:
- SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud for execution: Industry
4.0-enabled shop floor solution features "lot size one" and
paperless production capabilities. It integrates business systems
with the shop floor, allowing for complete component and
material-level visibility for single and global installations.
- SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud for insights:
Centralized, data-driven performance management enables key
stakeholders to achieve best-in-class manufacturing performance and
operations.
- Predictive quality: This helps manufacturers gain
valuable insights to conform to specifications across processes and
streamline quality management. It also allows manufacturers to
apply predictive algorithms that can reduce losses from defects,
deficiencies or variations, and recommend corrective actions.
- Manufacturing network: The network provides a
cloud-based collaborative platform integrated with SAP Ariba®
solutions connecting customers with manufacturing service
providers, such as suppliers of 3D and computer numerical control
(CNC) printing services, material providers, original equipment
manufacturers (OEM) and technical certification companies. (See
companion SAP Ariba solution announcement here.)
Also at Hannover Messe 2018, SAP announced SAP Connected Worker
Safety, a solution designed to reduce risks, costs and protect
employees. Information from wearables and other sensor-enabled
equipment can help companies react immediately to a hazardous
situation or incident while proactively managing worker fatigue and
other hazard inducers. Real-time information allows monitoring
of compliance at all times against regulatory and other parameters.

Availability of the solutions is expected by the end of Q2
2018.
