For downtime tracking, the process is well suited to tracking the operation of an entire process or plant; it is not suited to tracking individual equipment reliability. For inventory management, it is suited to tracking either bulk or discrete production, as its concepts are quite general. The Metrics engine is suited to smaller deployments; larger deployments would do better to extract and warehouse the raw data for external analysis and reporting.Incentivized
SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence as a stand-alone platform seems to be quite powerful with a wide range of capabilities and integration options. The integration itself proved to be challenging which was mentioned before. We also had some issues with delays in data queries which resulted in delays of the visual representation on the SSCE dashboards.Incentivized
MII is particularly good at providing and customizing dashboards for quick analysis of industrial IoT data.MII also has built-in analysis functionality to make more sense of all the IoT data being streamed.MII (and ME) are particularly effective at identifying outliers and problems with equipment/processes before they cause delays or other cascading issues. This allows for effective preventative maintenance.Incentivized
Data visualization and analysis--the built-in UI could be more fully featuredIntegration to external analysis tools and dashboardsGeneral UI and usability; a web interface is definitely neededIncentivized
Using the plant connector and setting up a proper stable connection proved challenging.Defining the tags and subscription aliases in the workbench took a lot of time.Documentation is somewhat outdated and difficult to come by.Incentivized
We required a bit of support setting this product up and as always the representative was both knowledgeable and helpful. The landscape we had (ME, PCo, ERP, MII, SolMan) made it a little more complicated and they were very good at finding the answers we needed. They also replied in a timely fashion. We have not needed any further support.Incentivized
We evaluate a number of inventory management products; however, none provided the full pit-to-port coverage. There were only AVEVA Manufacturing Execution, powered by Ampla, and ION Qmastor. AVEVA Manufacturing Execution, powered by Ampla, provided a simpler interface, while the QMastor product seemed to be a collection of applications. There were other products evaluated, but they were not yet mature and proven.Incentivized
SAP MII is a robust platform for data visualization and data integration. It isn't very intuitive and has the shortcomings explained throughout the review. It still uses old Java versions which is incompatible with updated versions. The SAP ME and SAP CP provide cloud-based solutions that seem to provide a more innovative approach.Incentivized
Downtime classification has made sense of plant reliability data; whereas, before it was unstructured and could not be used for analysisProduction tracking and reporting. This solution is providing a unified, common source of production tracking for all departments, stored in a database rather than spreadsheets. A single source of truth ensures all data aligns and matches.KPIs are providing a measurable indicator of performance against company-defined targets.Incentivized
SAP MII is a more robust, feature-rich solution than any in-house application would be.Our experiments have granted us the skills necessary to help our clients with their own industrial IoT journey.Incentivized
