How to Simulate Your Factory Operation

Use the Oracle IoT Production Monitoring Cloud Service simulator to create factories and simulate their operation for testing purposes or demonstrations.

The simulator lets you define a factory model that contains a group of factories that you will use for your simulator. You can define the factory model in the following ways:

• Use a predefined factory model: choose one of the available predefined factory models included in the simulator. See Create Predefined Factory Models.

• Import an factory model that you exported from another simulator instance of this same instance at a previous time. See Import Factory Models.

• Create a custom factory model: define your own factory mode. Manually specify the machine types, device models, products, product routing, and machines to use in your simulation.

You can view the factories you create with the simulator in your instance of Oracle IoT Production Monitoring Cloud Service. Use the simulator to change the behavior of the factories, its machines, and sensors. See Simulate Factory Operation, Simulate the Operation of the Machines in Your Factory, and Simulate Sensor Data.
