How You Manage Resource Instances

Resource instances are detailed representations of a labor or equipment resource in the Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing application. You can define specific instances of each resource. For example, you might identify the machines used on your shop floor, and the name of people working there. You can associate one or more resource instances to a resource.

Labor Resource Instances

A labor resource instance is the name of a person working in the manufacturing shop floor. You can optionally associate specific person types to a labor resource instance. A person type in the Manufacturing application must be an employee, a contingent worker, or a partner contact. Here's how each person type is set up:

Person Type	How It's Set Up
Employee and Contingent Worker	Employees and contingent workers are defined in Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management, and are automatically propagated by the auto-sync process to the Oracle Trading Community Model.
Partner Contact	A partner contact is set up in an Oracle Fusion Cloud Customer Relationship Management, which is automatically available in the Oracle Trading Community Model.

Equipment Resource Instances

An equipment resource instance is the name of a machinery being used on the manufacturing shop floor.

You can optionally associate assets to your equipment resource instances. You must define assets in Maintenance with a location corresponding to your manufacturing plant and a location type Work Center.

View IoT Insights

If you have set up your integration with IoT Production Monitoring, you can view your resources and resource instances belonging to your manufacturing plant in IoT.

Additionally, you can view useful insights by navigating through the IoT Insights icon provided for each equipment resource instance. Here's the list of IoT insights that you can view:

• Machinery performance

• Real time sensor data

• Insight into analytics, anomalies, predictions, and trends
