Myself

My name is Arne Manthey and I was born in Stuttgart, Germany. My background includes a German ‘Diplom’ (Master) in chemical engineering in 1995 and a Ph. D. in Chemical Engineering (Aerosol science) in 2000.

I started in SAP as a Consultant for Manufacturing in chemical and pharmaceutical industries at SAP Germany from 2000 – 2007. There I focused on PI sheets and OPC connectivity. Since April 2007 I am working as solution manager for application solution management manufacturing at SAP AG.

My main focus areas are:

• PCo (Plant Connectivity)
• OPC, SAP ODA
• PI Sheets (PP-PI) / Electronic Work Instructions (PP)
• XSteps

The Blog

This blog is about SAP’s functionality for ERP-based manufacturing and specially on XSteps, PI Sheets and electronic work instructions. It contains tipps and tricks, articles and links to recordings of the live web sessions. Everything I write here reflects my personal experience and opinions.

Every now and then I will post examples of coding, process instructions or other things you might copy and paste that content into your systems. Please test this on your own because I don’t give any waranty on that content.

No content is meant as an official statement of my employer SAP.
