Problem

The client encountered challenges integrating their 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) PLM system with SAP S/4HANA. Standard interfaces were insufficient for handling complex routing data, leading to:

Manual data entry for routings, increasing errors and inefficiencies.
Difficulty synchronizing detailed manufacturing processes between systems.
Delays in production planning and scalability issues

These challenges hindered the client’s ability to manage and scale their manufacturing operations effectively.

Solution

DataLark provided a comprehensive integration solution, automating the synchronization of routing data between 3DX PLM and SAP S/4HANA. Key features included:

Material Assignment: Ensuring accurate links between materials and routings.
Sequences, Operations, and Sub-Operations: Capturing detailed manufacturing steps.
Classification: Organizing routings and operations for consistency.
Component Allocation: Assigning required components to operations.
Production Resources/Tools (PRTs): Integrating necessary tools into processes.
Inspection Characteristics: Embedding quality control parameters.

The solution delivered a fully automated, bidirectional interface between systems, ensuring real-time synchronization and data integrity.

Results

The client now benefits from a robust and efficient integration, enabling innovative manufacturing processes, seamless data synchronization, and greater scalability.

Problem

The client needed to integrate their Windchill Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system with SAP S/4HANA. Standard interfaces were inadequate for managing complex data related to change masters, product masters, bills of materials (BOMs), and document info records (DIRs). This led to:

Manual data entry, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiencies.
Difficulties in synchronizing detailed product data and engineering changes between systems.
Delays in production planning and challenges in scaling operations.

These issues created significant obstacles to achieving efficient and scalable data management across systems.

Solution

DataLark provides a comprehensive integration solution, automating the synchronization of key objects between Windchill PLM and SAP S/4HANA. Key features include:

Change Master Integration: Ensuring accurate tracking and implementation of engineering changes across both systems.
