Understanding an Internet of Things Integration

Companies use devices such as sensors and beacons ("things") to monitor everything from the performance of machinery, temperatures of refrigerated units, on-time averages of commuter trains, and so forth. Capturing the data from these devices traditionally involves a complex integration using specialized hardware, expensive network connectivity, and high system integration expenditure to build the machine information into an enterprise business process. Even with a complex integration in place, an operations manager or controller still might have to manually enter the data into a spreadsheet, a software program, or an application in an ERP system. Regardless of the method used, it takes time to transfer the raw data into information that can be acted upon in a way that provides value to the business.

With the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Orchestrator Studio, you can create orchestrations that enable the transformation of data from disparate devices into actionable business processes in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. For example, you can create orchestrations that enable EnterpriseOne to:

• Alert users to a required activity.

• Alert users to perform preventative maintenance to reduce equipment downtime.

• Provide audit data for safety compliance and security.
