KINEXON OS is the Ideal Integration to SAP Digital Manufacturing

Under the umbrella of SAP Digital Manufacturing (SAP DM), KINEXON OS is the ideal integration to further automate processes along any supply chain.

SAP Digital Manufacturing is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that offers transparency through data and consecutive KPIs along numerous activities in manufacturing. Enabling businesses to create in depth analysis of automated processes in the cloud-based system, SAP DM is at the core of Industry 4.0.

With the KINEXON OS extension, operations can be further automated, leading to enhanced production speed, quality, and cost-efficiency by eradicating manual non-value-add tasks.

Create real-time visibility and transparency

Create real-time visibility and transparency of production orders by creating a digital twin of the shopfloor. This is done by linking production orders to physical sensors called tags, creating functional areas via geofences, and visualizing all things in an interactive map in the software.

Localize production orders

Localize all production orders from the inbound area over all production steps to provide exact location information about any production order in real time, including metadata with labels and attached properties.

Automate booking events and alerts

Create and trigger automated events to generate real-time bookings and alerts. By adapting process rules — based on a variety of predefined conditions like geofence entries and exits, and object counts — users can define actions and alerts with integrated devices.

Interacts seamlessly with the process

Increase the ease of system interaction by implementing an ePaper Tag, which displays metadata information about the specific production order. Give automatic feedback to SAP Digital Manufacturing and third-party systems while avoiding the usage of paper.
