Do you have insight into the real-time performance of your shop floor? Can you analyze problems with shop floor equipment and determine which production orders are impacted? Do you need to analyze plant throughput and overall equipment effectiveness trends? Based on the ISA-95 reference model, Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center delivers adapters to collect shop floor equipment data, contextualization of this data with that from your ERP, and prebuilt plant performance dashboards and reports all working together to provide real-time business insight to plant managers.
Introduction Over the last two decades, you have implemented many systems and processes to eliminate excess inventory and waste from your overall supply chain. Those lean strategies have been successful, and so the focus has shifted to improving the responsiveness of the manufacturing process itself, which is now the weak link in your ability to adapt to the increasingly complex demands of the global marketplace. This requires dramatically improved interaction and connectivity between manufacturing shop floor systems and the back office ERP. While this is a challenge, it also provides you with a unique opportunity to deliver quality, flexibility and efficiency, linked to a lean and demand-driven supply chain, and through that, new opportunities to differentiate from the competition.

Several challenges you typically need to solve are:

ORACLE DATA SHEET

Increased customer and regulatory compliance requirements create additional needs for data capture, analysis and reporting The drive for higher returns on invested capital means that more must be done with less equipment, yet there is no tolerance for unplanned downtime Manufacturing may now be global, yet manufacturing systems are often locally developed, supported and maintained, and not standardized across the enterprise Manufacturing equipment is increasingly instrumented, yet the data that it produces is difficult to link back to the business applications, often requiring expensive and one-off integrations.

Oracles Solution Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center addresses your need for accurate and timely information about product and process quality, insight into manufacturing operations, and performance of manufacturing assets. It solves the complex problem of connecting fragmented disconnected shop floor data to the business context of your back office systems. This combination delivers real-time monitoring and analysis of shop floor operations a foundation for running Continuous Improvement (CI)) programs such as Lean and Six Sigma. Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center is a pre-built, flexible and extensible solution that provides:

A data model based on ISA-95 industry standard and extensible attribute framework Pre-built extensible adapters for manufacturing execution systems (MES) and ERP systems A robust contextualization rules engine to convert raw shop floor data into meaningful business information Pre-built key performance indicators and analytics, delivered in Oracles industry leading, easy to configure and extend Business Intelligence (BI) technology.

These unique and differentiating capabilities enable you to implement and operate a shop floor intelligence solution at the lowest possible cost, providing a fast return on investment. Contextualize Plant Floor Data and Synchronize with ERP Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center provides an abstraction layer between ERP and the shop floor. The system continuously collects high-resolution data from the shop floor and adds meaningful business context from the ERP, such as the work order, routing operation, shift, work day, customer order, dates, and so on. In addition, it enables the contextualized transactional data to be synchronized with ERP thereby eliminating manual data entry and reducing inaccuracies and adding value to the information.

Single Repository for Manufacturing Operations Data Single Source of Truth At the core of the Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center is a generic Manufacturing Operations data model. The data model leverages business object definitions and other constructs from the ISA-95 reference model. You can model many different types of production environments and leverage the Extensible Attribute Framework to define user defined attributes that vary from one environment to another. By collecting, cleansing and processing different pieces of data from disparate sources and storing it in a transactional data model, Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center provides consistent information to all users of manufacturing related information across the enterprise. Integration with Manufacturing Equipment and Distributed Plant Systems Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center provides a wide range of options to

ORACLE DATA SHEET

collect shop floor data directly from Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems (SCADA) and Distributed Control Systems (DCS). You can leverage partner solutions from companies such as Mitsubishi Electric, Kepware Technologies, ILS Technologies and Matrikon Inc. to collect, aggregate and feed real-time sensor data into Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center.

Mitsubishi Electric offers the MESInterface IT, a hardened factory data appliance that provides secure and reliable connectivity with Oracle Databases and Manufacturing Operations Center. It eliminates integration challenges across Mitsubishi and a range of other brands of factory control systems. MESInterface IT improves system simplicity and maintainability, providing essential functionality such as store and forward data buffering to avoid data loss and a role-based security infrastructure that facilitates effective collaboration. Kepware Technologies have developed Oracle Connectivity Suite for communication to shop floor equipment and devices. The foundation for the connectivity suite is KEPServerEX, delivering access to over 130 manufacturing protocols (Drivers). The list of drivers includes PLC and device drivers, and U-CON, a User-Configurable driver for serial and Ethernet data acquisition delivering connectivity to a myriad of devices, from barcode scanners to scales and RFID. ILS Technologys award winning deviceWISETM provides secure, direct and easy to configure connectivity from plant floor devices to the Oracle MOC. For device connectivity, deviceWISE can communicate with either native device communication or OPC device communication. Other key features include device aggregation, edge processing, role-based security and scalability from embedded devices such as PLCs and RFID to UNIX, Linux or Windows servers. Shop Floor Connector (SFC) from MatrikonOPC is built with industry-leading MatrikonOPC components, and is fully scalable and includes complete functionality such as secure OPC connectivity, data processing (analytics), store and-forward (guaranteed data delivery), and event triggered Transaction writes.

Real-Time Intelligence for Plant Managers Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center enables Plant Managers and Production Supervisors to monitor production performance in real-time through pre-built analytical dashboards and reports. It provides aggregate level analysis on key performance indicators such as production throughput, equipment availability, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and production cycle times. You can quickly drill down to detailed equipment and production order data to perform root cause analysis, enabling you to answer questions such as:

What types of production losses contributed to overall equipment effectiveness? Which departments, resources, and equipment are underperforming? Are the production resources being utilized effectively and on target for the shift, day, week, or month? Are the products of acceptable quality standards? What is the cycle time trend for standard batches? Is customer fulfillment at the desired level of customer service?

Extensible Role-based Dashboards and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center provides pre-built analytical dashboards with key plant performance indicators and many drill downs to seeded reports. Built with Oracles proven Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) platform,

While sensors and underlying control technology often change quickly, equipment often remains in place for many years. To make better use of your existing assets, you need real-time insight into production performance and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE measures asset performance by combining availability, speed and first time correct output into a single key performance measure). Increase Production Throughput Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center helps you monitor production volumes and throughput from anywhere in the enterprise. You can keep track of targets for the shift, day, week or month and monitor production backlog for each piece of equipment to expose bottleneck resources. It provides you with the right information to take action and increase production throughput. Improve Manufacturing Service Levels Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center collects production execution data and relates it to plans and schedules in your ERP and back office systems. Depending on how you determine service levels in your environment, you can track on-time completions or production against customer order shipment dates. By providing consistent information to both manufacturing operations and customer facing organizations such as Sales and Marketing, you can improve overall service levels. Monitor Production Processes and Equipment Performance Different departments are interested in different aspects of equipment performance. For example, production supervisors care about production output and quality of output whereas maintenance supervisors care about equipment downtime and mean time between failures. Using Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center, you can analyze all aspects of equipment performance from availability to status, output and leading process parameters, all in a single plant management dashboard.
