Oracle says it will leapfrog competitors in manufacturing intelligence

摘要

By now it seems ancient history, but SAP's acquisition of Lighthammer in 2005 marked a sea change in attitudes toward integrating plant operations with the business enterprise. Lighthammer was one of the first software vendors to develop a solution for enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI). These solutions aggregate data from diverse plant assets and, once combined with enterprise transactional information, can track key performance indicators (KPI) and support decision-making related to quality, asset management, or other key resources and constraints.
