SAP Supply Chain: Digital Manufacturing Cloud
Market trends are driving changes within manufacturing. It is more important than ever to explore new opportunities with automation and flexible operations for enhanced productivity.
Digital Manufacturing Cloud Defined
Digital manufacturing cloud (DMC) is a cloud-based manufacturing execution system providing a relationship between production and business within supply chain management. It provides the ability to access software from any web browser. DMC optimizes manufacturing performance with integrated production execution, greater visibility, and analysis to meet the high demands of today’s market. By integrating manufacturing and business systems, cost effective and high-quality resources can be used. Some core characteristics are the intuitive user interfaces and modern process-orientated features.
Features include:
- Cloud deployment
- Visibility across the top floor and shop floor
- Key performance indicators and analytics
- Detailed execution of production processes.
Leveraging data helps with performance monitoring. It can detect production-related issues and help trace issues to the root cause, enabling manufacturing operations to be more efficient and scalable. The ability to share information in real time and use advanced analytics to support decision-making is a game changer. It allows traceability, increasing both efficiency and scalability.

The EU Battery Passport: Everything you need to knowJul 17, 2024 — The global battery market is multiplying every year, with an estimated compound annual growth rate of 14% by 2030. While this is a trend affecting multiple sectors, the transition of the transport industry to electric is a major factor in increasing demand for batteries and their key materials. To promote sustainability and circularity, the European Union has implemented a Battery Passport directive to mitigate the impact of increased demand. This policy encourages producers of batteries to reduce the demand for virgin materials per battery and enables the infrastructure for widespread recycling to increase battery life. In reaction, China is tightening the export of raw materials for batteries, meaning that producers of batteries in the United States and the European Union are feeling the effects of constrained inputs.
