MaintWiz TPM module

TPM Software with SAP PM and MM Integration: What to Agree and What to Test

Short answer

MaintWiz, an AI CMMS built for TPM, integrates with SAP through the PM and MM modules using web services: equipment, functional locations and materials come from SAP, and notifications and work orders raised from TPM tags go back. MaintWiz holds the operator, tag, loss, audit and training records, and SAP keeps the maintenance and materials records it already runs.

Bring your SAP equipment list and one work order and see a tag become a work order in the demo.

How MaintWiz helps: MaintWiz, an AI CMMS built for TPM, brings all eight pillars, 5S, OEE, Kaizen and OPL together, captures records on mobile, raises work orders automatically from IoT signals and manages safety through ePTW. SAP PM and MM integrate through web services, so TPM records and SAP work orders stay aligned. See MaintWiz TPM modules · See all five free files

Key takeaways

  • MaintWiz integrates with SAP through the PM and MM modules using web services, and the integration is in use in live enterprise implementations.
  • Decide which system is the master for each record before building anything: equipment, work orders, spares, tags, losses.
  • Test the exchange on your data: direction, frequency, failure handling and who maintains it.
  • MaintWiz also connects IoT, MES, SCADA, PLC and DCS sources and supports enterprise single sign-on.

What SAP holds

What does TPM software need from SAP?

MaintWiz exchanges equipment, notifications, work orders and materials with SAP PM and MM through web services, so tags and losses connect to the work and spares managed in SAP. These are the decisions to settle first (Figure 1).

Which records live in SAP and which in the TPM system?

Records usually held in SAP and in TPM software and the decision to make for each
RecordUsually held inDecision to makeWhat MaintWiz does
Equipment and functional structureSAP PMDoes the TPM system take the equipment list from SAP, or hold its own with a mapping?Integrates with SAP PM through web services; a pilot can start on the MaintWiz equipment list.
Maintenance ordersSAP PMWhen a tag needs maintenance work, where is the order created, and by whom?A tag is converted to a work order after manual review. Bring one SAP work order to the demo.
Spare parts and materialsSAP MMDoes the TPM system need to see stock, or only reference part numbers?Integrates with SAP MM through web services, so spare part requests reach SAP MM from the work order.
Operator tags and checksTPM softwareAre these kept only in the TPM system, with a reference to SAP orders?Held in MaintWiz: raised on a mobile device and routed to an owner with a target date.
Losses, OEE and auditsTPM softwareIs any summary sent to SAP, or are they reported separately?Held in MaintWiz with equipment, line and plant OEE views; data exports to XLS and PDF.
Training and safety recordsTPM softwareDo any need to be visible in SAP?Training records are held in MaintWiz with certification and expiry handling.

MaintWiz connects

How does MaintWiz connect to SAP and plant systems?

MaintWiz integrates with SAP through the PM and MM modules using web services, can connect IoT, MES, SCADA, PLC and DCS sources, and supports enterprise single sign-on. Each is in use in live enterprise implementations.

A tag can be converted to a work order after manual review. Bring your SAP equipment list and one work order to the demo and see the tag-to-order step on your own records.

Figure 3. The MaintWiz equipment register, the list that SAP PM feeds: each machine keeps its code, class and criticality, so tags, CIL checks and work orders post against the same equipment (MaintWiz).

MaintWiz gives each record one owning system and exchanges only what the other system needs (Figure 4): SAP keeps the maintenance orders and materials, and MaintWiz keeps the pillar records of TPM as the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM) describes it.

Test a SAP PM and SAP MM connection on your own records

Figure 4. Four records to bring to a demo: your SAP equipment list loaded by Excel or web service, one work order followed both ways, one MM spare part and one red tag converted to an order.

MaintWiz connects to SAP PM and MM through web services, at the boundary between enterprise and plant-floor systems that the ISA-95 standard series describes.

Testing

How do you test a SAP integration before you commit?

  • Ask for the list of what is exchanged, in each direction, and how often.
  • Ask what happens when an exchange fails: is it logged, retried and visible to a user?
  • Run one scenario end to end on your data: an equipment record, a tag, and the resulting order.
  • Check that a record changed in one system does not create duplicates in the other.

Three tests that show whether an integration holds

Tests for a SAP integration and what a pass and a fail look like
TestPass looks likeFail looks like
Equipment recordOne record per item in both systems, matched by an agreed keyDuplicates or unmatched items after the first load
Order from a tagThe order appears where agreed, with the tag referenceManual re-keying or a lost reference
Failed exchangeLogged, retried and visible to a named userSilent loss

Other connections

Which other connections should you ask about?

OEE needs production counts and stop events; they may come from operators, from machine signals or from plant systems. MaintWiz can connect IoT, MES, SCADA, PLC and DCS sources. Ask which of your sources are in scope, how often data arrives, and who owns the mapping from machine codes to loss reasons. The downtime reason codes library helps standardise that mapping.

MaintWiz supports enterprise single sign-on, so users sign in through your identity system.

In a purchase

Where does this fit in a TPM software purchase?

Integration belongs in the requirements, not after the choice. Name the SAP connection in your scope and your MaintWiz quote is built from it (TPM software pricing). No SAP yet? Start the pilot on the MaintWiz equipment list and connect later. When you do connect, MaintWiz uses web services on the PM and MM modules, so the plant's tags, losses and audits sit beside the work your SAP team already runs; operators raise and review what they find in one place, with one connection to the system maintenance and materials teams already use.

In a SAP-focused demo, bring your equipment list and one work order. You see a tag raised on a mobile device, the tag converted to a work order after manual review, overdue alerts and the TPM dashboards by pillar. The connection runs through web services on the SAP PM and MM modules and is in use in live enterprise implementations. The entire TPM can be rolled out in 6 to 8 weeks with guided project management from the MaintWiz implementation team, so your SAP team and your plant team see results quickly, and data exports to XLS and PDF.

Test the SAP connection on your equipment list: bring one SAP work order and see a tag become a work order on your own records.
