Advanced tools to minimize costs, maximize resource efficiency and improve product quality
From waste management and order combination to precise error tracking and cut-plan optimization, the solution offers advanced tools to minimize costs, maximize resource efficiency, and improve product quality. It extends the possibilities of SAP Digital Manufacturing and was developed specifically for roll-based production.
Overview
Reduce complexity on the shop floor by using order combination
Order combination is the key to offering a wide range of variants while keeping shop floor production efficient. In the mill industry, early production steps are often shared across variants. Our add-on supports this by enabling seamless use of SAP standard MILL_OC functionality within SAP Digital Manufacturing.
Enhance the tracking and tracing of defects and enable proper waste management
The add-on for roll-based production enables precise defect tracking across multiple production steps and ensures efficient handling of waste or leftover material. It supports detailed defect localization, tracking through unwind/rewind processes, and automatic recalculation of the defect position.
Integrate a tailored cutting optimizer to reduce waste and leftovers
The customer-specific integration of a cutting optimizer helps determine the required raw material and minimizes waste and leftovers before cutting. It ensures full traceability across the production chain and supports accurate stock visibility and efficient material tracking.

Features
Streamline operations through Combined Orders
Group similar production steps of different orders to enable smarter resource use and faster throughput. Consolidate tasks with shared parameters and reduce setup times and operational downtime.
Manage materials flexibly with alternative units
Working with different units of measurement–such as meters, kilograms, or pieces–will reduce the complexity for the operators while maintaining accuracy throughout your operations. This feature enables you to match units to production processes, optimize inventory, and improve cost control.
Track and trace defects through production
Minimize operator effort in capturing, tracking, and handling production defects. Attach pictures or other files to each entry and view corrected defects of previous production steps to maintain full traceability.
