SAP Digital Manufacturing (formerly SAP ME/MII) is SAP's cloud-native manufacturing execution system. Provides production operations management, electronic batch records, genealogy, quality, and OEE analytics. Designed for SAP S/4HANA customers seeking a tightly integrated MES.

editor's note: Really only makes sense as an MES bolt-on for existing SAP S/4HANA customers. Not a standalone SMB choice.

Best SAP-native MES option for large enterprises already running S/4HANA, but outside the SAP ecosystem this product has no relevance, and for SMBs the cost, complexity, and SAP dependency make it a non-starter regardless of capabilities.
