The solution provides specific execution capabilities for roll, web and sheet production
MES CAT PUBLIC extends SAP Digital Manufacturing for roll-, web-, and sheet-based production. It adds industry-specific capabilities such as cutting, slitting, roll handling, material tracking, and guided shopfloor processes directly into SAP. Businesses benefit from a scalable public cloud architecture, faster process execution, stronger traceability, and flexible feature-based extensions tailored to their production needs.
Benefits
Improve traceability across every roll
Roll-level traceability extends SAP Digital Manufacturing with complete production visibility across flat, roll-, web-, and sheet-based production. Businesses can isolate defects faster, reduce waste, support compliance requirements, and improve confidence in product quality.
Resolve exceptions faster with guided handling
Structured guidance supports shop floor users in handling deviations such as material issues, rework, scrap, or process interruptions. Businesses can reduce downtime, minimize errors, and improve transparency while relevant steps are guided, documented, and integrated with SAP Digital Manufacturing.
Reduce setup errors with knife position visualization
Knife position visualization shows operators how knives need to be positioned for the current cutting or slitting setup. Businesses can reduce setup errors, support stable production runs, and improve process transparency within SAP Digital Manufacturing.
Features
Use slitting patterns for guided reel slitter setup
Enable shopfloor operators to produce based on predefined slitting patterns from planning. The visual set view shows knife positions, target widths, and order-specific roll data to support correct setup, reduce errors, and keep production aligned with the planned cutting pattern.
Manage roll consumption with a digital twin of machine input
Create a digital twin of the machine input to show which rolls are mounted, where they are used, and how much material remains. Operators can load rolls via pick lists or machine integration and see roll-specific issues before use, improving visibility, posting accuracy, and roll-level traceability.
Configure machine-specific workflows with ready-to-use templates
Provide ready-to-use templates for different machine types to simplify deployment and support a tailored user experience on the shopfloor. This allows manufacturers to adapt the system quickly to paper machines, winders, coaters, sheeters, and other equipment with less implementation effort.
