Accelerate Product Development with ERP for Your Manufacturing Operations

With ever-shorter product lifecycles and a rapidly growing number of product variants, discrete manufacturing companies are facing growing challenges. They need to reduce time to market, shorten lead times, and manufacture products in smaller lot sizes. While these demands are nothing new, digitization has upped the pace.

This calls for streamlined manufacturing operations, optimized value chains that extend across companies, and cutting-edge sensor technology. You can offer your customers individualized smart products with new features and services, and shift to consumption models based on the Internet of Things (IoT). By connecting machines, devices, IT, and products, the IoT enables you to enhance internal manufacturing processes and create a smart factory.

The overwhelming volumes of data in discrete industries are having an impact on business; manufacturers now have to simplify their IT landscape in order to handle the data and quickly turn it into actionable insights. With a next-generation ERP solution like SAP S/4HANA, you can connect machines and processes to a digital core. SAP & itelligence can help enable them by providing the following architecture.

As companies are reimagining their entire business, they need an IT architecture that provides both stability and long-term reliability for the core enterprise processes, and at the same time allows flexibility in areas where change is happening on a constant basis. This concept, which is often referred to as “bimodal IT,” is brought to life through the SAP Digital Business Framework, pictured here.
