Written by Ross Barnes-Moore | Jun 7, 2023 8:43:12 AM

Real-time production monitoring in SAP S/4HANA is a process of monitoring and analyzing manufacturing processes in real-time using data captured from sensors, machines, and other connected devices.

It helps organizations to have better visibility and control over their production processes, leading to improved decision-making, reduced downtime, and increased productivity.

SAP S/4HANA provides real-time production monitoring capabilities by integrating with various sensors and devices on the shop floor. It collects real-time data from these devices and uses advanced analytics to provide insights into production processes.


Some of the key features of Real Time Production Monitoring in SAP S/4 HANA include:

  • Real-time data collection: SAP S/4HANA collects data from various sources, including machines, sensors, and other connected devices, in real-time.

  • Advanced analytics: analyse the collected data and provide insights into production processes, helping organizations make informed decisions.

  • Real-time alerts: generate real-time alerts when production processes deviate from normal operating parameters, enabling operators to take corrective actions quickly.

  • Predictive maintenance: use data from sensors and other devices to predict when maintenance is required, reducing downtime, and improving machine availability.

  • Visibility into supply chain: visibility into the entire supply chain, enabling organizations to optimize production and improve delivery times.

  • Integration with other SAP modules: Real-time production monitoring is integrated with other SAP modules, such as production planning, inventory management, and quality management, enabling organizations to streamline their operations.

What benefits does Real Time Production Monitoring in SAP S/4 HANA provide to your organisation?

  • Improved visibility: Real-time production monitoring provides organizations with real-time visibility into their production processes, enabling them to make informed decisions and take corrective actions quickly.

  • Increased productivity: Real-time production monitoring helps organizations to identify and address production bottlenecks, reducing downtime and improving productivity.

  • Better quality: Real-time production monitoring can help organizations to detect quality issues early, reducing the risk of producing defective products and improving overall product quality.

  • Predictive maintenance: Real-time production monitoring can help organizations to identify maintenance issues early, reducing downtime and improving machine availability.

  • Cost savings: Real-time production monitoring can help organizations to identify inefficiencies in their production processes, leading to cost savings associated with reduced downtime, improved productivity, and better quality.

  • Improved customer satisfaction: Real-time production monitoring can help organizations to optimize their production processes and improve delivery times, leading to higher customer satisfaction.

  • Enhanced collaboration: Real-time production monitoring can help to enhance collaboration between different teams within an organization, such as production and maintenance teams, leading to better overall performance.
