Oracle: a modern platform for smart connected factories

Manufacturing Global takes a closer look at the ways in which Oracle can help the manufacturing industry manage and improve its processes. As the concept of digital factories continues to change the landscape of manufacturing, the industry has become an increasingly competitive environment, in which companies are constantly looking for ways to improve the efficiency of their operations and the quality of their products. As part of its solutions, Oracle provides a modern platform for manufacturers to collaboratively manage and improve their processes. By leveraging cloud, IoT, big data analytics, predictive intelligence and supply chain tools, Oracle’s connected smart factory platform helps manufacturers to better predict and resolve maintenance requirements, correlate quality issues, reduce downtime and improve quality. Oracle provides a modern solution to monitor all factories globally with a 360 degree view of operations. The Oracle smart connected factory uses automated consolidation of real life information, issue indicators and key performance indicators, to replace old style processes driven by spreadsheets and BI reports sent via email.
