Set Up Connected Assets and Equipment

Enterprises and manufacturing plants often use smart equipment and assets that can generate and receive operational data and alerts. Operational data can include events related to production updates, such as details on quantities produced, quality inspection results, operational parameters, and alerts related to machine errors or asset failures.

Operational data can also include commands related to set points and program information to be configured on the equipment. You can define set points in a work definition operation, which are used by the equipment to execute the operation for an item corresponding to the work definition.

You can use the data from smart equipment and assets to automate tasks in Manufacturing and Maintenance, such as automatically updating production quantities, performing quality inspections, collecting process parameters, and generating exceptions and maintenance work orders for faults and errors.

Before you start

You need to provision and configure the SCM Core Service- Smart Operations service on your instance before you can capture and evaluate events from connected assets in Maintenance and connected equipment in Manufacturing.

To enable this service, you need to log a Service Request (SR). For Manufacturing, use the following SR details:

Select Product Module - Oracle Fusion Manufacturing Cloud Service.
Select Category - Work Execution.
Select Subcategory - Manage Work Orders.
Select Component: Installation Issue (INSTALL).
Copy and paste this text into description area of the SR: Enable the SCM Core Service-Smart Operations.

For Maintenance, use the following SR details:

Select Product Module: Oracle Maintenance Cloud Service.
Select Category: Maintenance Work Orders.
Select Subcategory: Maintenance Work Orders.
Select Component: Installation Issue (INSTALL).
Select Severity: 3-Minimal Loss of Service.
Copy and paste this text into description area of the SR: Enable the SCM Core Service-Smart Operations.

Note: You only need to create one SR, using either category, if you are using both Manufacturing and Maintenance.

Once the SCM Core Service- Smart Operations service is enabled on your Oracle Public Cloud region instance, follow the implementation steps described in the following sections.

Note: Your IIoT environment or external system should be available and configured. You should have connected your assets and machines, and created the required attributes to identify and generate data.
