PLM Roadshow 2024

Participants will receive a comprehensive overview of SAP's PLM strategy for the process industry, the latest functions and features , as well as practical application examples and best practices that show how companies can successfully implement and utilize SAP PLM solutions to achieve their business goals.

This presentation offers an insight into the use of SAP PLM in product development, based on a marketing briefing, for example. Project manager Sven Mroz will show how the R&D of Henkel Consumer Brands increases efficiency in product development by implementing a customized digital R&D platform (HUGO) in collaboration with SAP, Gramont and LabVantage. The focus is on the development and integration of digital tools and processes that promote seamless collaboration between research and development of formulas and packaging. The platform enables the structured collection of big data, providing important insights into R&D and shortening time-to-market.

In this presentation, Mr. Berger (Gramont) and Mr. Wöllhaf (DHC) will explain how companies can successfully master the challenges of IDMP (Identification of Medicinal Products) by using SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) in combination with Gramont Polaris. Find out how regulatory requirements can be met efficiently with the help of integrated solutions.

The potential of AI in SAP PLM will be showcased based on an Analog to Digital for raw materials management showcase.

AI is transforming Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) by automating key tasks and driving innovation. SAP envisions leveraging GenAI to generate product briefs, create formulations, and develop specifications using business data and market trends—accelerating product development.

This session will explore how AI tools streamline recipe creation for faster time-to-market and improved quality. We’ll also deep dive into a Gramont use case, showcasing how analog PDFs and images from external collaborations are digitized and can be mapped to the master data. AI enables greater efficiency, consistency, and collaboration in the process industries.
