ILS Technology LLC continues to dedicate itself to making shop floor to top floor integration a reality. The company today announced that its deviceWISE 2.0 connectivity software is compatible with the Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center, enabling manufacturers to easily move real-time data between the plant floor and the enterprise.

Manufacturers can use the deviceWISE platform to collect data from automation equipment and factory floor devices, distill the data into real-time events, and transmit the information directly to the Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center to improve decision-making, productivity, and profitability, ILS said.

“ILS Technology’s deviceWISE Embedded Edition platform enables leading-edge automation equipment vendors to natively connect to the Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center,” said John Chorley, VP of Oracle’s supply chain strategy, in a prepared statement. “In addition, deviceWISE Enterprise Edition allows a wide variety of plant floor devices, such as PACs, PLCs, and RFID readers, to supply the enterprise domain with a continuous flow of data.”

Oracle formally introduced its Manufacturing Operations Center in April, providing a software platform for integrating data generated on the plant floor with business data managed by ERP systems. That offering competes with SAP’s Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (MII) product.
