New POD 2.0 Framework: The New Generation of SAP Digital Manufacturing Worker UIsNew POD 2.0 Framework: The New Generation of SAP Digital Manufacturing Worker UIsThe opening post of SAP's sixteen-part series on POD 2.0, the UI framework inside SAP Digital Manufacturing for building worker-facing execution screens: it replaces the architectural foundation of the existing POD model, drops the fixed POD types such as Work Center and Order in favour of POD templates, and exposes contextual execution data directly to the UI layer. The edge to POD plugins holds on what it states about plugins themselves: the large monolithic plugins of the old framework have been broken into smaller, focused components, and layout, dialogs, buttons and actions that previously required UI extensions or custom plugins are configured in a WYSIWYG designer instead. It stops at the direction, with no code, no API and no packaging steps: new execution features will target the new framework and the legacy POD architecture will gradually phase out, while the designer, custom dialogs, dynamic PODs and notifications are left to the fifteen later posts the series list names.ManoelCosta, published 2026-02-10
