It’s no longer the future, it’s what I saw last Friday
Spanish Version
How many times have we thought that automation in our JDE system had a limit? You reach that point where someone has to look at something, manually review a document, or make a subjective decision. That’s the wall many Orchestrator projects bounce off. It’s the endless cycle of “almost-automation.”
Well, last Friday, representing Quistor at the Orchestrator workshop in Barcelona, I witnessed that wall come down. And not with theories, but with practical examples you can start using today.
Mark Herwegue and Paolo Borrielo from Oracle put us to work with something that sounded like science fiction but worked right before our eyes: teaching JDE to “see” and understand.
The Practical Case: Is this the correct resistor? Let the AI decide.
Imagine you receive a batch of electronic components, resistors, for example. Quality is key. One error here can shut down an entire production line. The usual process involves a person manually checking them, comparing color codes… a slow, error-prone job.
What we did was different:
Goodbye to interpretation errors. Goodbye to quality control bottlenecks. And all orchestrated from the ERP you already know.
But what if the operator forgets to upload the photo?
This is where things got even better. Because technology is one thing, and the reality of day-to-day work is another.
They showed us the power of Stateful Orchestrators and a new while loop functionality. We created an Orchestrator that:
What does this all mean for us?
What I saw in Barcelona wasn’t just a simple demo. It was confirmation that the barrier between the ERP and Artificial Intelligence has been broken.
It was an incredible session, not only for the technology but for connecting with other consultants and clients who face the same challenges. We saw how these new Oracle tools provide us with real solutions to age-old problems.
Now I ask you: What is that one manual process in your company that you thought was impossible to automate, but which something like this could solve? Quality control, invoice validation, meter reading?
I’d love to read your ideas!
