Speed up your product development, individualise your discrete manufacturing operations and optimise your product lifecycle management. We are your partner when it comes to IT solutions for manufacturing – in automotive, high-tech, and industrial machinery and components (IMC).
In Discrete Industries, business processes and IT – especially manufacturing ERP systems – are extremely diverse and complex. NTT DATA Business Solutions can help you master your challenges. We help you find and implement the right SAP solutions to successfully realise your digital transformation goals, capitalise on new business opportunities, and optimise your manufacturing processes efficiently:
Today’s customers increasingly demand individualised products. This means manufacturers in discrete industries need highly flexible production processes and responsive material requirements planning. By using tailored manufacturing solutions, you can accelerate product development and bring innovations to market faster and more cost-effectively than the competition.
Consistent Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) from research and development to aftersales service is crucial in manufacturing operations. By taking an approach that integrates people, data, processes, systems, and tools such as CAD, you can accelerate manufacturing cycle times and reduce waste. Solutions such as SAP Product Lifecycle Management increase engineering efficiency and reduce time to market.
IoT enables businesses in discrete manufacturing to make precise predictions based on real-time sensor data from machines and give their customers recommendations for future actions. It also paves the way to new business models, such as consumption-based contracts, allowing you to offer your customers more added value.
Manufacturers are in the midst of a digital transformation. With sensor technology and advanced manufacturing execution systems, companies can unleash the potential of their data. Moreover, flexible platforms help you achieve a connected smart factory and facilitate better collaboration with other companies.
As a basis for strategic decisions, greater transparency into all manufacturing operations is required: from production planning to aftersales service. With real-time monitoring and data analytics, you can leverage sensor data to create new, service-based business models and gain additional capabilities, such as predictive maintenance. And by using artificial intelligence, you can increase productivity and accuracy through automation.

In the modern automotive industry, it’s all about mass customisation instead of mass production, and offering multiple product configurations is crucial to success. Consequently, development cycles grow shorter while quality requirements for customers increase. Moreover, the globalisation and consolidation of platforms is a huge challenge for automotive companies as new competitors are changing business models and services required.
Here’s what you need to stay on top:

The competitive pressure in IMC is increasing. This is due to the rise and establishment of new competitors from emerging markets, a growing variety of products and components as well as additional logistical complexity due to the relocation of the production focus to Asia.
A viable way for companies to respond to these changes is servitisation. Through outstanding customer experience, IMC companies can differentiate themselves from the competition. Meanwhile climate change and scarcity of resources require a sustainable restructuring of industrial production and corresponding environmental and efficiency innovations.
