Legacy SAP ECC, SAP PM, and SAP xMII weren't built for today's manufacturing demands. iFactory modernizes your plant-floor operations with an AI-powered MES + CMMS + EAM platform — fully integrated with SAP S/4HANA, 100% offline capable, and deployable in weeks instead of years.
Modernize plant-floor operations without disrupting your SAP backbone. Zero downtime, zero data loss, full integration from day one.
Map your SAP modules — ECC, PM, xMII, MM — custom code, integrations, data volumes, and pain points. Deliver a prioritized modernization roadmap.
Extract asset hierarchies, WO histories, BOM structures, spare parts, and PM schedules into iFactory's modern data architecture.
Connect iFactory to SAP (ECC or S/4HANA) via OData, RFC, and REST. Deploy mobile apps, IoT connectors, and configure workflows.
Parallel run, UAT, training, and phased go-live. Scale from one plant to enterprise. 90-day post-launch optimization included.
SAP PM requires trained specialists and complex T-codes. iFactory delivers the same work order, asset, and spare parts management in a mobile-first interface that technicians adopt on day one — with 100% offline capability and intelligent SAP sync.
Create, assign, and close WOs with checklists, photos, and signatures.
Full functionality underground, in the field, or in dead zones.
WOs, notifications, confirmations, and cost postings sync automatically.
Instant asset ID — Zebra, Honeywell, and Samsung rugged supported.
Active Work Orders
SAP xMII is aging middleware that lacks modern analytics and mobile capability. iFactory MES replaces it with a real-time production monitoring, quality management, and OEE dashboard platform — with a compatibility layer that preserves your existing xMII data structures.
Live availability, performance, and quality — per line, shift, or plant.
SPC charts, defect tracking, NCR management, CAPA workflows.
OPC-UA to Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, and Rockwell PLCs.
Preserve existing data structures during phased modernization.
Production Lines — Live Status
Legacy SAP PM is purely reactive or calendar-based. iFactory adds intelligence — analyzing IoT sensor data with machine learning to predict failures 2–4 weeks ahead, automatically generating work orders, reserving parts, and scheduling repairs during planned downtime.
Models trained on your asset data predict failures weeks ahead.
Vibration, thermal, pressure, current — real-time monitoring.
AI triggers WOs and parts reservations when thresholds are crossed.
RUL estimation for critical components — plan, don't react.
iFactory doesn't replace your SAP backbone — it extends it. Native bi-directional integration ensures work orders, asset data, spare parts, cost postings, and production orders flow seamlessly between iFactory and SAP. Works with both ECC today and S/4HANA tomorrow.
OData v4, RFC, BAPI, and REST — no custom ABAP required.
WOs, parts, production orders, and cost settlements sync in real-time.
Deploy where your SAP lives — no architecture constraints.
Move plant-floor customizations off SAP core — simplify future upgrades.
Sync Activity — Last 24 Hours

"We modernized SAP PM to iFactory in 5 weeks — our technicians stopped using T-codes on day one. The mobile app doubled our WO completion rate and SAP still gets every cost posting automatically."
"Replacing SAP xMII with iFactory MES gave us real-time OEE for the first time. We identified 14% hidden capacity in our first month — equivalent to adding a production line without capital spend."
"We needed to modernize before ECC ends in 2027 but couldn't afford an 18-month S/4HANA project. iFactory modernized our entire plant floor in 8 weeks — now S/4HANA migration is just switching connectors."
SAP ECC 6.0 mainstream maintenance ends December 2027 (EHP 6–8). Extended maintenance is available until 2030 at a 2% premium but provides no new features. Only about 50% of ECC customers have started migrating, and with S/4HANA projects averaging 18–36 months, the window to plan strategically is closing fast.
iFactory modernizes SAP PM (Plant Maintenance), SAP EAM, SAP xMII (Manufacturing Integration & Intelligence), SAP Work Manager, and SAP Syclo/Agentry. It provides a unified MES + CMMS + EAM platform that integrates bi-directionally with SAP S/4HANA and ECC via OData, RFC, and REST APIs.
Yes — iFactory complements S/4HANA by handling plant-floor execution (maintenance, MES, asset management) while SAP manages enterprise finance and planning. This aligns with SAP's Clean Core strategy — keeping the SAP core standard while extending capabilities through side-by-side applications.
Single-module deployment (CMMS, MES, or EAM) takes 4–8 weeks. Full enterprise modernization across all three with SAP integration completes in 8–14 weeks. Compare that to an average S/4HANA migration at 18–36 months.
RISE with SAP requires full ERP migration, BTP licensing, and 18–36 month timelines. iFactory modernizes plant-floor operations in weeks while preserving your SAP backend. Both can coexist — iFactory handles maintenance execution while SAP handles enterprise finance and planning. Modernize plant ops now, migrate S/4HANA on your timeline.
Yes. iFactory MES provides a direct SAP xMII modernization path with its compatibility layer — preserving existing data structures during phased migration. It adds real-time OEE dashboards, AI-powered quality control, IoT sensor integration, SCADA/PLC connectivity via OPC-UA, and modern mobile interfaces that xMII cannot deliver.
Plant-floor customizations (PM workflows, inspection forms, custom reports) move to iFactory's no-code configuration engine. SAP backend structures and ABAP objects that support finance and planning remain untouched. This effectively implements a Clean Core strategy — reducing future S/4HANA upgrade costs by 20–30%.
Any asset-intensive industry running SAP: discrete and process manufacturing, utilities, oil & gas, mining, pharma, food & beverage, chemicals, transportation, and facilities management. Industry-specific templates with regulatory compliance frameworks (OSHA, EPA, GxP, NERC CIP, FDA, ISO 55000) accelerate deployment.
