Geometric To Certify Shopfloor Connectivity For Oracle Software

Geometric, a provider of engineering and manufacturing solutions, has announced that it is working closely with Oracle and will become a system integrator for Oracle Manufacturing Operations Centre.

As part of the relationship, Geometric has announced two important initiatives to help customers benefit from Oracle Manufacturing Operations Centre. First, Geometric is currently the only System Integrator (SI) authorised to test and to certify solutions that connect Oracle Manufacturing Operations Centre to shopfloor devices. Products from Kepware, Matrikon and ILS are being tested for Oracle Manufacturing Operations Centre compatibility for real-time connectivity and performance by Geometric.

Second, based on the feedback from the Oracle Manufacturing Operations Centre Customer Advisory Board, Geometric has defined a RapidValue Solution Package to enable fast realisation of tangible business value from Oracle Manufacturing Operations Centre. This package helps customers minimise risk and realise benefits from Oracle Manufacturing Operations Centre within weeks, and mitigate typical implementation uncertainties related to cost, scope and time.

Oracle Manufacturing Operations Centre addresses the need for accurate and timely information about product and process quality, insight into manufacturing operations, and performance of manufacturing assets. It solves the complex problem of connecting fragmented, disconnected shopfloor data to the business context of back-office systems. The product is designed to be ERP agnostic. This combination delivers real-time monitoring and analysis of shopfloor operations – a foundation for running Continuous Improvement (CI) programmes such as Lean and Six Sigma.

The Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center team in Geometric is also working actively with Oracle to develop prototype solutions and add-on applications.
