JD Edwards and the Internet of Things: The best applications for industry businesses powered by real data from the Internet of Things.
Oracle's JD Edwards applications are able to leverage the possibilities of the Internet of Things and offer highly differentiated solutions to customers. For 4 decades, the JD Edwards team has been developing, innovating and delivering business applications for customers of various industries, sizes and everywhere.
The result is a mature, stable and modern application suite. JD Edwards customers rely on these applications to manufacture things, maintain and repair things, sell things, rent things, transport and store things, and plant things.
And now, in this emerging age of the Internet of Things, it's a natural extension to integrate this technology with JD Edwards applications. In this way, the Internet of Things addresses a new level of value and possibilities for the JD Edwards applications in which customers have already invested.
JD Enterprise One – Internet of Things (IoT) Orchestrator – The technology framework.
With JD Enterprise One – Internet of Things (IoT) Orchestrator, Oracle delivers a solution that integrates the operational area with the information side of technology, promoting the mechanism and process to receive and aggregate data from various types of devices, integrate and secure that data, and then pass it on to JD Edwards applications for analysis and action.
JD Enterprise One – Internet of Things (IoT) Orchestrator provides a modern yet familiar platform for customers, partners and other service providers, by integrating the information received within JD Edwards itself.
This integration is encapsulated in JD Enterprise One – Internet of Things (IoT) Orchestrator, which provides critical processing power, allowing JD Edwards applications to use data received from devices to enable business processes that were either too complicated or impossible. to implement, considering the effort of time and manpower.
The process begins when third-party devices and a gateway collect and process information from one or more components and communicate it over the internet.
The gateway often uses intelligence to filter sensor data, ensure data transfer, automate software updates, perform diagnostics, start or stop devices, and support other areas.
The process culminates in JD Edwards applications analyzing the data and initiating the appropriate transactions.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IoT Orchestrator bridges the gap, contextualizing device input, filtering noise, and mapping events, conditions, or states to actions.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IoT Orchestrator comprises the following components:
Orchestration – Master process that provides a unique name for the orchestration process in IoT Orchestrator. Orchestration uses the next four components for IoT orchestration.
White List - Initial and rudimentary “pass/fail” style list of component signature messages against a predefined list of signatures. This list provides an additional layer of security for IoT Orchestrator.
Rules Engine – Set of conditions against which input from IoT devices is evaluated to produce a true or false state. Rules can be organized to produce complex evaluations of these inputs. The rules are designed to define the next step to be taken. Additional rules may be implemented through Java.
Cross Reference - Set of data relationships defined by the orchestration designer, which enriches minimal input from devices. For example, the “cross reference” tool can convert an input ID to an EnterpriseOne value for use in the system.
Service Request - Calling a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne interactive application or a JAVA application via the “REST service call” to the JDE EnterpriseOne application interface services.
The benefits of implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne:
In the past, a lot of data that can now be collected from devices was input by users. Implementing an IoT solution involves removing the human figure from data collection, reducing time delays and potential errors. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IoT Orchestrator handles input devices, equivalent to JD Edwards users, without the potential risks and lack of availability.
Another benefit is the fact that the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IoT Orchestrator deployment can be used by business analysts. The business analyst is the individual who knows the management of the business intimately, has the expertise to identify critical conditions and events, and knows what to do to resolve them. The business analyst knows what data is needed, what data needs to be filtered, and what rules and references need to be used to make the data usable for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IoT Orchestrator can be put to work together with all JD Edwards applications. You select applications based on what your business requires. For example, if your business involves operating machinery remotely, your primary focus for feeding data into your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system will likely involve asset management applications.
If your company already collects data via Internet of Things components and imports it into JD Edwards systems using existing integrations, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IoT Orchestrator offers the benefit of significantly lowering the cost and complexity of the integration.
Business Scenarios for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IoT Orchestrator Solutions
The exponential growth of the Internet of Things is driven not only by the rapid proliferation of components, but also by the expansion into potential business applications.
The areas below offer great opportunities for IoT implementation:
The JD Edwards and Internet of Things practice is, of course, shaped by the opportunities and challenges our customers encounter. Between them:
• Asset Performance
• Danger and Volatility
• Scarcity of resources
• Operating Force
• Regulated Industries
Problems like this involve scenarios that can benefit from implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IoT Orchestrator. This session reviews scenarios that illustrate application to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IoT Orchestrator.
In many industries, production equipment is a major investment as well as a significant source of maintenance and replacement costs. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne offers several modules that help companies manage and maintain this equipment. The effectiveness of these applications can be improved by optimizing the data that is received. More and better data will ultimately result in better and lower cost operations.
Asset Health – Operational and Metrics
If your business involves the use of any type of equipment, you have a vested interest in making sure that equipment is ready for continuous, consistent performance. Any setback or lower performance is a cost against the investment represented by the equipment. The ability to track when the asset is used and understand key operational metrics represents a significant benefit.
Use of Assets.
Another potential application is the ability to measure how equipment is being used. Devices can, for example, monitor hours driven, gasoline usage and mileage determined for maintenance.
Instead of depending on the maintenance schedule, you can see the actual need to take the asset to technical maintenance based on your data transmitted and processed by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application maintenance equipment can send real-time alerts based on analysis of incoming data.
Operating and Output Assets
A commonly reported issue is how a particular piece of equipment is operating and whether it is running at peak production. These questions can be answered by collecting the appropriate data from the equipment. Data such as: pressure, vibration, temperature, viscosity, purity, etc. This data, when compared to standard measurements, can generate alerts and transactions to address deviations immediately.
By doing this, it becomes easier to avoid having an asset working in a lower condition than the accepted standards. The corresponding benefits are broad utilization of the asset, extended equipment life and reduced maintenance costs.
