The SAP Integration and Certification Center has certified that MES HYDRA version 8 integrates with SAP S/4HANA to exchange critical data with instances of SAP Business Suite software. Therefore MPDV uses the certified interface S/4-QM-IDI 1.0.
“We are pleased to announce the successful achievement of SAP certification for MES HYDRA 8,” said Thorsten Strebel, Vice President Product Development & Consulting at MPDV. “The ability of HYDRA to leverage the business potential of assets provided by solutions from SAP will prove highly beneficial to current and future customer engagements.”
As a result of the certified integration, HYDRA 8 now interchanges valuable data from the shop floor with business IT solutions like ERP (enterprise resource planning) or QM (quality management). It thereby closes the technological gap between the shop floor and the ERP solution, and helps drive the process of digital transformation.
MPDV acts as a pioneer in offering connectivity to ERP systems for its MES HYDRA in order to serve customers’ IT landscapes. In 1994, MPDV was among the first MES companies to address the market with a certified interface for SAP applications.

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) support production companies to improve efficiencies in their production processes, increase productivity and thus to secure or enhance their ability to compete. A state-of-the-art MES puts companies in the position to record and evaluate data along the complete value-added chain in real-time. People in charge can therefore react instantly to unforeseen events in the daily production routine and put in suitable measures. The MES supports on all levels short-term and far-reaching decisions by providing a reliable data basis.
HYDRA, the modular structured MES by MPDV, features an extensive functional range and meets all requirements stated in the VDI guideline 5600. Individual HYDRA applications based on a central MES database can be combined without the use of interfaces. Thus, HYDRA guarantees a 360-degree view on all resources in production and can incorporate overlapping processes. Powerful tools for configuration and customization ensure that HYDRA can be modified in order to cater for company and industryspecific requirements. HYDRA can be integrated into existing IT landscapes and is used as a link between production (shop floor) and the management level (e.g. ERP system). Production companies are particular reactive using an MES system like HYDRA and therefore remain competitive - especially looking at Industry 4.0.
