The Future of Workforce Management: SAP DM POD 2.0 Reviewed by Experts
What will manufacturing look like tomorrow? In our videocast series, we take an exclusive look at the heart of SAP Digital Manufacturing: the new POD 2.0 Framework. Hear from Stephan Eisenacher (Product Manager at SAP) and our experts Dominik and Niklas (Consultants at io) about why this update is revolutionizing efficiency on the shop floor and how you can benefit from the insights gained during the intensive beta phase.
What you can expect from the videos
- Maximum flexibility through low-code: POD 2.0 breaks away from the rigid structures of its predecessor. Thanks to the new WYSIWYG designer, custom dashboards can be configured via drag-and-drop—including a live preview with real sample data.
- Performance & User Experience: Learn how drastically reduced loading times optimize workers’ workflows and sustainably increase acceptance of digital systems on the shop floor.
- Innovation for Regulated Industries: We highlight how medical technology and pharmaceutical companies can now directly map requirements such as the Electronic Batch Record (EBR) and the dual-control principle within the standard.
- Enhanced Connectivity: Discover the possibilities of embedding external websites and apps directly into the user interface, as well as seamless data transfer to the SAP Process Engine.

Insights from the Field & SAP Product Management
“The POD is at the heart of digital manufacturing. With version 2.0, we've made the solution as robust, stable, and scalable as possible—a real game-changer for productivity.”
“Thanks to the expanded context in POD 2.0, we now have much more data directly at our disposal. For our customers, this means more configuration options, less time-consuming coding, and significantly faster maintenance.”
