Oracle announced a strategic collaboration with Microsoft to create an integration blueprint designed to help manufacturers boost supply chain efficiency and responsiveness. The new blueprint will empower organizations using Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM) to make data-driven decisions faster and automate critical supply chain operations. It accomplishes this by capturing live insights from factory equipment and sensors through Azure IoT Operations and Microsoft Fabric.

“This collaboration with Microsoft reflects Oracle’s commitment to Smart Operations, where real-time data drives smarter, faster, and more connected manufacturing,” said Vikash Goyal, vice president, Supply Chain Planning and Execution Product Strategy, Oracle. “By integrating Azure IoT Operations and Microsoft Fabric with Oracle Cloud SCM, manufacturers can increase visibility across the supply chain, accelerate decision-making, and reduce downtime by turning operational insights into immediate business action and measurable impact.”

Yitzhak Kesselman, CVP Messaging and Real-Time Analytics at Microsoft, added, “At Microsoft, we are committed to helping manufacturers unlock the full potential of connected operations. Microsoft Azure IoT Operations transforms raw production data at the edge, and Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence transforms it into actionable events and insights. Through our collaboration with Oracle, these insights can now be connected directly into Oracle Cloud SCM, enabling organizations to deliver tangible value across the entire supply chain by making faster, more informed decisions, improving operational efficiency, and responding immediately to changes on the shop floor.”

The integration blueprint enables manufacturers to accelerate response times, enhance operational efficiency, and gain deeper visibility into supply chain processes by linking real-time production data from the shop floor directly into enterprise workflows. Key capabilities of this integration include:

  • Real-time intelligence and secure data flows: Manufacturers can improve planning, decision-making, and operational visibility by securely integrating live data from factory equipment and sensors into Oracle Cloud SCM, ensuring seamless connection across enterprise applications.
  • Automated business events: Real-time shop floor data can automatically trigger actions such as order updates, quality inspections, maintenance requests, or inventory movements in Oracle Cloud SCM, helping manufacturers respond faster to production changes and reduce downtime.
  • Standardized best practices: Manufacturers receive prescriptive guidance, pre-built integration guides, and reference architectures based on public APIs, ensuring smooth connectivity and simplified deployment.

Oracle Cloud SCM, a key part of Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, allows organizations to seamlessly connect supply chain processes and quickly adapt to shifting demand, supply, and market conditions. Embedded AI acts as a strategic advisor, analyzing supply chain data, generating insights, and automating workflows to build resilient, high-performing supply networks that can outpace change.
