Create a Custom Factory Model

Create a factory model that uses specific devices, machines, product routing, and manufactures a specific product. Use custom factory models for detailed testing or for demonstrating a specific use case.

Create and register the device models that you will use in your custom factory model:

1. In the Oracle Internet of Things Intelligent Applications Cloud Device Simulator, create the simulation and device models to support your factory model.
   See Creating a Simulated Device in Oracle Internet of Things Intelligent Applications Cloud Device Simulator.
2. In the Oracle Internet of Things Intelligent Applications Cloud Management Console, register the device models you created.
   See Registering a Device.

Use Oracle IoT Production Monitoring Cloud Service to create the business entities to support your factory model:

3. Create a machine type for the device models you created.
   See Create Machine Types.
4. Create the product your factories will manufacture.
   See Create Products.
5. Upload the product routing.
   Upload Production and Maintenance Data
