SAP Digital Manufacturing vs. TrakSYS

Discrete industry - it is well suited. The reports available are useful. Process industry - if you can make the PI sheet availability in pod as an extension it would be useful.

When you have manufacturing lines that need proper control and want to collect information based on how well it run then TrakSYS is ideal. TrakSYS has a template system that support generic setup of multiple lines. TrakSYS however is not ideal if you want to deviate too much from the template model. It is possible but defeats the purpose of the template system. Better then to write a customised solution outside of the software.

The feedback from our end users has been overwhelmingly positive, indicating strong adoption and satisfaction with the solution. This demonstrates that the system meets most functional expectations and supports daily operations effectively. However, performance remains an area for improvement. Addressing this will further enhance user experience and ensure the solution scales efficiently for future growth.

I have used and worked on SAP ME/MII. This product(SAP DM) is far better in every way than the older sibling - ME/MII. This is completely cloud based solution which removes the hinderances of procuring and managing an on-prem solution. And as this is a cloud based solution, it also enables a very smooth scalability of the deployment across various plants

Both are good products so it was a difficult decision. In the end of the day it came down to to TrakSYS being more customisable. However it is more expensive though.

• Fit to standards manufacturing solution is certainly positive
• Excessive customizations are not recommended if you are looking for a true digital transformation with high ROI and future proof

Incentivized

• Improved management of production lines
• Quick overview of line quality
• Structured working procedures for employees
