The PLM system integration (PLMSI) is an add-on available for SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7/EHP8 and SAP S/4HANA 1809 or higher. It enables seamless integration of product-relevant data and its transfer without additional middleware.

Siloed engineering and business processes have long been an issue for companies. But PLMSI provides customers with real-time, lifecycle-across integration of product models and simulations with business information, feedback, and performance data.

To ensure data consistency and quality for subsequent processes, the integration offers consistent data logic, enabling you to configure your processes without interrupting them.

Main Integration Challenge:

Lack of out-of-the-box integration based on predefined scenarios
Custom-specific integration can be expensive, and any extension brings complexity since adoptions are required on both sides
Missing bi-directional process integration

Bi-directional synchronization

With PLMSI, build a unified ecosystem where documents and their changes created in the PLM system will be transferred to the SAP system, or vice versa, in real time.

Closed loop operations

After integrating SAP S/4HANA with a PLM system, produce even better products by communicating operational characteristics to the Engineering department for modification.

Improved performance

The PLMSI add-on can improve the current performance by empowering engineers to manage material masters, building on common attributes and classifications, and drive subsequent processes.

Reduced operational costs

Integration architecture is designed with scalability and simplicity in mind. In addition to improved performance, it can help businesses reduce operational costs.

Reduced errors

PLMSI enables you to monitor and troubleshoot data transfer at a technical and business level.

Shorter time to market

Due to continuous synchronization between two systems, you can timely implement changes to products and bring them to market faster.

This solution helps enterprises eliminate process and information silos, increase productivity and flexibility, and accelerate innovation. In the case of PLMSI, two systems can communicate using a common Meta Domain Model — the PLMSI core concept and intermediate layer between SAP and a third-party PLM system.

It consists of a set of objects that belong together, including materials, BOMs, documents, change records, classifications, etc. The Meta Domain Model enables the seamless exchange of all product-relevant data.

Discover

Finalize project plans and goals. We determine a project structure, management, tracking, and reporting mechanisms with the customer. At this stage, roles and responsibilities in the project team are defined.

Prepare

PLMSI enables users to monitor and troubleshoot data transfer at a technical and business level. We ensure that the solution and project scope meet the business requirements at this stage.

Explore

We customize and integrate SAP components into the customer's IT infrastructure. PLMSI allows the creation of a unified ecosystem where documents and their changes made in the external PLM system will be transferred to the SAP system or vice versa in real-time. Our experts configure and further develop the system if required.

Realize

The core concept of the SAP PLMSI is a meta-domain model. It translates and standardizes the integration between the two systems and provides a stable and aligned process and data model. We conduct transfer from legacy systems into the SAP production system, tests, and roles/authorizations validation for all users.

Deploy

After integrating SAP ECC/ SAP S/4HANA with an external PLM system, you can produce even better products by feeding back operational characteristics to the Engineering department to improve them. Run the solution with go-live support, fixes, and monitoring to adapt the new software to your business processes perfectly.
