Template-based, rapidly deployed batch solutions have become popular among SAP chemical industry customers.
This is because these solutions provide an easy, predictable way to provide real-time batch execution that is closely integrated with ERP, but decoupled so that it doesn’t need ERP in order to run. The latest enhancements, which include better integration, improved scalability, and more templates, make the offering even more compelling. As a result, the trend is likely to accelerate. To help process manufacturers get a better understanding of SAP’s batch solutions, this report provides an overview and analysis of SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence Rapid-Deployment Solution for Batch Manufacturing, together with some chemical industry user case stories.
