Aerospace SAP Shop Floor Control Case Studies

Client: Aerospace components manufacturer, 1,200 employees, supplying tier-1 defense contractors.

Challenge: The client faced potential loss of contracts due to an inability to provide full Aerospace SAP Shop Floor Control traceability for AS9100 audits. Their legacy system could not track serialized parts efficiently, leading to 15% production rework and compliance gaps.

Solution: Smartbrain.io deployed a team of 2 Solution Architects and 4 SAP developers over 14 weeks. We implemented SAP Manufacturing Execution (ME) integrated with SAP ERP. The team configured barcode scanning stations and automated non-conformance reporting (NCR) workflows.

Results: The project achieved 100% AS9100 audit compliance on the first attempt. Production rework was reduced by 12%, and traceability report generation time dropped from 4 hours to under 5 minutes.

Client: Series C Healthtech company with $50M ARR, producing medical diagnostic devices.

Challenge: Rapid scaling outpaced their manual production tracking, risking FDA violations. They required an Aerospace SAP Shop Floor Control style system adapted for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and electronic batch records.

Solution: Smartbrain.io executed a 12-week implementation of SAP MII and ME modules. The team built a custom electronic batch record (EBR) system with enforced sign-offs. We integrated the shop floor with their quality management system (QMS) using SAP BTP Integration Suite.

Results: The client achieved zero FDA 483 observations in the subsequent inspection. Batch record review time decreased by 65%, and manufacturing throughput increased by 22% within 6 months.

Client: Industrial machinery manufacturer, 3,500 employees, operating across 3 production sites.

Challenge: Three disparate legacy MES systems created data silos, preventing accurate global production planning. They needed a unified Aerospace SAP Shop Floor Control platform to standardize processes and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

Solution: Smartbrain.io led a greenfield implementation of SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud (DMC). A dedicated team of 8 consultants conducted a 16-week rollout across all sites. We migrated 1.2 million item master records and integrated IoT sensors for real-time machine monitoring.

Results: Global OEE improved by 18% due to real-time visibility. The unified system reduced IT maintenance costs by $250k annually and enabled a 30% faster financial close process.
