Complex products. Long-lasting projects. High customer expectations.

Mechanical and plant engineering stands for technological excellence and individual customer solutions. At the same time, volatile markets, long delivery times and the transformation into a service provider require a radical rethink of processes and IT landscapes.

Typical challenges in mechanical & plant engineering

Combining ETO projects and series production

Customized individual production (engineer-to-order) often meets modular platform approaches. Without a flexible system architecture, media disruptions, time losses and errors occur.

Offer processes with high complexity

Individual calculation, technical specification and quotation preparation must go hand in hand – ideally with full digital support.

Integration of CAD, PLM and ERP

A lack of interfaces between engineering and production delays the start of projects, makes it difficult to hand over parts lists and leads to rework.

Project logistics and assembly planning

Parts and components must be delivered to assembly sites, some of which are international, at exactly the right time. Without a transparent supply chain, the risk of delays and costs increases.

Service and spare parts management

Machines and systems are durable – an efficient and profitable after-sales business requires digital twins, structured spare parts catalogs and mobile service solutions.

Digitalization in practice: SAP solutions for mechanical and plant engineering
