OverviewNew case study: Duravit relies on top MES
The newly published technical article in Digital Manufacturing Magazine in the 06/2025 issue illustrates how digital production works with SAP – and how Duravit, the premium manufacturer of sanitary products, uses the manufacturing execution solution top MES to make its plants fit for the future.
Top MES for digital production with SAP
Duravit combines tradition-rich craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology and focuses on the highest quality standards. In order to be able to offer this to its customers in the future, the company replaced its paper-based processes with the MES solution top MES, which is fully integrated into SAP. This enables seamless traceability of every product and thus creates the basis for error-resistant and cost-optimized production.
Particularly exciting: the “ceramic barcode”, which clearly identifies each product and can be used to call up all relevant key figures such as processing status and technical specifications in real time via handhelds or tablets.
More transparency, fewer rejects
With top MES, Duravit can record quality data during production, identify errors more quickly and optimize processes in a targeted manner. New controlling options, automated feedback and the digital recording of working times also ensure transparency and efficiency.
Blueprint for international production
Following the successful introduction of top MES at the plants in Hornberg and Meißen, the solution is now to be implemented at other locations worldwide. This is an impressive demonstration of the opportunities offered by an MES system that is fully integrated into SAP.
