Case Study: AIS Automation Dresden achieves lifecycle-wide manufacturing plant monitoring and faster time-to-market with Oracle Cloud

AIS Automation improves monitoring of manufacturing plants with Oracle

AIS Automation Dresden GmbH, a developer of software for process, plant and factory automation across industries such as automotive, semiconductor and pharmaceuticals, faced a market gap: no satisfactory end-to-end solution existed to monitor manufacturing machinery across its entire lifecycle. The company needed a cloud-based, scalable SaaS platform that could collect and analyze large volumes of on-site machine data, accelerate time to market, enable rapid development, and deliver enterprise-grade data protection and multi-tenant separation.

AIS built EquipmentCloud® on Oracle Cloud (OCI Compute Classic, Oracle Database) using Oracle Application Express, delivering a global SaaS product in six months. Development and testing were 50–75% faster than comparable frameworks, commissioning time and deployment costs fell by about 33%, and stored machine data helped reduce maximum downtime by 2% or more (potentially adding $500k+ annual revenue per machine). The solution provides unlimited scalable data processing, strict tenant data separation, easier customer app development and lower maintenance overhead.
