2. With this alone, have we any concern.
Kant - Critique of Pure Reason
...and that if the subject, or even only the subjective constitution of the senses in general, be removed, the whole constitution and all the relations of objects in space and time, nay space and time themselves, would vanish.
With this alone, have we any concern.

Has it crossed the border?
Where is my
package?
Patient details
and history?
Any hazardous materials?
Are these authentic products?
Has it been tampered?
Right medication?

12. SES Event Processing Support
Domain Specific
Custom coded needed for specific vertical
Eg: Pallet Processor (WMS), Choke (T&T), Presence (Pharma), etc
SI Provides Processors:
SI uses our framework to build reusable processors for their typical customers
Generic Parameterized Local Processors
Based on generic algorithms
Support for temporal (sliding window) for transient events
Custom Processors
Self contained user provided extensions (remotely deployed and managed)
Long Term Conditions
DBMS Rulesets and Expression Filters
CEP Engine (Future releases)
Meta data driven processing with windowing support

13. Typical Parameterized Event Processing: Smoothing and Edge Detections
3. Level rises and drops:
level rises afterwards and drops in non-predictable intervals
Tolerance level for drop detection is based on sliding window, not just from start
Signal
5. Event “Exit” generated
Edge drops for Y period
1. Pull not seen
e.g Tag is not in field in this timeline
2. Event “Enter” generated:
Note there is NO preamble
Rise of edge is defined as rise after drop for X period of time
4. Cannot consider drop yet
Since there is no sync word
TIME

14. Challenges Parameterized Processing is not flexible enough
Some customer still needs to customize code (deployment and support issues)
Custom (java coded) processors only works for common cases, and will not scale with the range of use cases
Need more visibility and simulation into processing
Cannot handle both short and wide temporal windows in one language
Centralized tool sets for: Defining processing logics, monitoring, viewing exceptions, setting up bindings
Difficult to define bindings to adapters (dissemination)
Has to be embeddable into Vertical and Horizontal Applications!!! (how to expose the predicates and tools?)

Real life Use Cases

16. Multi-dimensional Track and Trace End to end monitoring and audit trail for perishable goods
 3PL Ships hands items in temp. controlled containers
 Manufacturer packages and tags the containers
 Warehouses with environment control bins/shelves
 Retail stores with temperature control back-store and shelves
Tracking from original packaging to retail
Re-packaging, Presence, Choke, Temperature and Light exposure has to be monitored and evaluated every step of the way

17. Carries MiFARE, iClass or Contactless SIMM/Smart Card
Physical Identification: Control Access Open architecture for secure identification
Carries MiFARE, iClass or Contactless SIMM/Smart Card
 User authorized (or denied). Sends back indicator or open doorway. Attempts and Entry is logged and stored in dbms for audit
 Request to enter send to backend IM system, response could be challenge or auth token
 User trying to enter secure area
Major doorways equipped with readers and indicator, may include keypad for challenge keys
Today’s Challenges/Shortcomings
Soft identity easily stolen
Security & safety compliance
Proprietary architecture
Sensor-Based Benefits
Real-time location & status information
Physical identification
Open architecture yet maintain end to end cryptography
This is not a commitment to deliver. Product directions are subject to change without notice.

18. Inventory Management: Fewer Parts Automated Re-Order of Spare Parts for Service Depots
Location = Shelf 1
Quantity = 1
 Receiver sends signal to APS applications
Replenishment Order
Location = Station 5
Quantity = 1
 APS interprets signal as “real demand” and increments demand signal by actual consumed quantity or triggers replenishment order
 Service tech needs component off shelf to complete repair
 Removing component from shelf sends signal to receiver
This diagram outlines the planned flow of RFID tracking of assemblies moving through production. The huge potential of RFID is that data capture does not require user interaction or line of sight. So transactions can be recorded without any manual user interaction with the system.
Potential high-value RFID use cases in this business process:
Accurate count of assemblies produced, tracking both good and scrap
High volume of lot and serial recording for backflush components
Automated material movements
Track assembly as traveler moves between operations
Capture component detail as they are issued to job
Receive finished assembly into inventory automatically
Presentation of work instructions and drawings
Visual aid for flow lines that service multiple assemblies
Lot & serial tracking and genealogy
Eliminate need for manually keying serial details for each assembly
Perpetual Visibility to Materials in WIP
Today’s Challenges/Shortcomings
Replenishment based on “latent guesstimates”
Promotes excess inventories with risk of parts obsolescence
Sensor-Based Benefits
Real-time spares consumption information with auto-triggering of replenishment orders
Improved inventory management

Running mean on temp gradually rising over 2% every month

22. The preceding is intended to outline our general product direction
The preceding is intended to outline our general product direction. It is intended for information purposes only, and may not be incorporated into any contract. It is not a commitment to deliver any material, code, or functionality, and should not be relied upon in making purchasing decisions. The development, release, and timing of any features or functionality described for Oracle’s products remain at the sole discretion of Oracle.

23. Bring up on stage two customers to tell the audience about their experiences.
Manpower Associates is a $14.9B global company with 27,000 employees in the temporary staffing business. Manpower runs a combined PeopleSoft Enterprise and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne shop. These experts in human resources use Enterprise HCM for their own staffing and EnterpriseOne Payroll and Service Billing for handling the large volumes of US-based temporary staff. Manpower is very happy with Oracle’s support since purchasing PeopleSoft and is looking forward to a long relationship with Oracle.
Spokesperson will be Jay Schaudies, Vice President, Global eCommerce.
Welch Foods is the food processing and marketing arm of National Grape Cooperative Association. Organized in 1945, National Grape is a grower-owned agricultural cooperative with 1,461 members. The company, headquartered in Concord, Massachusetts, operates six plants located in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington. The company was running a mix of legacy, home grown, and manual systems that failed to provide senior management with accurate and timely cost and production information. Welch’s required a centralized manufacturing and financial information system to improve management decision making. The solution had to be hot-pluggable with existing technologies, for example, Welch’s Plumtree portal.
Welch Foods chose Oracle over SAP for this business-critical application. The key to the customer’s business problem was their ability to manage costs. The company’s costs are driven by fruit solid content in each of their products, and they use a specialized technique called BRIX for measuring and calculating the cost of materials. Welch’s compared SAP and Oracle SAP’s software was too rigid and, therefore, unable to include the BRIX calculation in their manufacturing solution. Only Oracle’s OPM could bind this custom cost method into the Quality Management Process.
Technology customer yet to be determined. Current possibilities include eBay and FTD Florists.
