New POD 2.0 Framework: The New Generation of SAP Digital Manufacturing Worker UIspublishedThe opening post of SAP's sixteen-part series on POD 2.0, the UI framework inside SAP Digital ManufacturingSAP Digital ManufacturingSAP's manufacturing execution system for running production on the shop floor, run by SAP as software as a service. The product behind the SAP Digital Manufacturing door: what is entered there is what people build for it, such as plugins for its Production Operator Dashboard, and the product itself is not an option. 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 pluginsPOD pluginsExtending SAP Digital Manufacturing's Production Operator Dashboard with plugins of your own: a view, a panel or an action that runs inside the operator's POD, packaged as an extension the product loads. Distinct from launchpad plugins, which extend a launchpad's shell around many apps.Community only 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.POD plugins
