Industrial AI use cases
OEE & Production Analytics
IoT Production + OML + OAC
Predictive Maintenance
OCI Anomaly Detection + Asset Monitoring
AI-Powered ERP Integration
OCI GenAI + OIC + Oracle SCM Cloud
Connected Worker Safety
Connected Worker + OCI Vision
Fleet Intelligence
Fleet Monitoring + OCI Forecasting
In-Database ML & RAG
OML + Select AI + Vector Search
Key differentiators
ERP-native industrial IoT
Asset, fleet, production and worker apps sit beside Oracle ERP/SCM rather than as bolted-on dashboards.
Autonomous Database AI
Select AI, Vector Search and OML keep analytics and RAG next to transactional plant data.
Integration Cloud fabric
Hundreds of adapters move IoT events into finance, supply chain and HCM processes.
Manufacturing focus
OEE, connected worker and predictive maintenance packs shorten time-to-value on the shop floor.
