Cohu uses embedded AI to flag supply chain exceptions across a unified cloud platform
Cohu, a global semiconductor equipment company, unified finance, HR, and supply chain on Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications after multiple acquisitions left it with fragmented systems. Embedded AI supports real-time reporting across work orders and procurement and flags supply chain exceptions, while Oracle Fusion Cloud Product Lifecycle Management reviews product data for completeness and identifies process bottlenecks affecting launches.
Overview
Cohu, a global semiconductor equipment company, unified finance, HR, and supply chain on Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications after multiple acquisitions left it with fragmented systems. Embedded AI supports real-time reporting across work orders and procurement and flags supply chain exceptions, while Oracle Fusion Cloud Product Lifecycle Management reviews product data for completeness and identifies process bottlenecks affecting launches.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
As Cohu expanded through acquisitions, it inherited multiple operational systems for finance, HR, procurement, and supply chain, sometimes more than one in the same region; fragmented data and manual reconciliation slowed forecasting, reporting, and collaboration, and increasing product, part, and SKU complexity became increasingly difficult to manage, impacting new product development, launches, and customer orders.
The solution
Cohu adopted Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications and deployed Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain and Manufacturing to bring operations onto an integrated cloud platform. Embedded AI supports real-time reporting across work orders and procurement and flags supply chain exceptions, while Oracle Fusion Cloud Product Lifecycle Management reviews product data for completeness and identifies process bottlenecks affecting launches and issue resolution. Cohu also uses Oracle Configure, Price, Quote in Oracle Fusion Cloud Sales for lead-to-order cycles, and Oracle Fusion Service and Oracle Field Service to help technicians respond to customer needs.

HP crafts marketing campaigns that resonate with customers using Databricks and Uniphore
HP centralized first-party customer data on the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake and Unity Catalog, and connected it to Uniphore's HybridCompute for federated query pushdown, cutting campaign setup from 2 weeks to 2 hours and processing 400 million records in seconds.
Building a safer and more sustainable world
Novade, a construction management software company, partnered with Databricks to modernize its analytics and ML infrastructure, moving from a homegrown Apache Airflow stack to the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and MLflow. The move reduced total cost of ownership by 60% and supported a 100% increase in new clients, while enabling ML models for predicting incident risk affecting worker safety and project delivery schedules.
SafeGraph optimizes geospatial data processing with Databricks and Delta Sharing
SafeGraph used the Databricks Data + AI Platform, Delta Lake, Delta Sharing and MLflow to process petabytes of geospatial data and feed predictive models, achieving 2x-10x faster spatial querying, indexing and partitioning and a 50% reduction in peak memory consumption compared to other platforms, while reducing data access time for partners from months to minutes via Delta Sharing.
Transforming Weather Forecasting with Lakeflow Jobs
AccuWeather migrated from on-premises infrastructure to Databricks and Lakeflow Jobs, working with Datadog for observability, to unify diverse weather data formats and orchestrate 4,500+ weekly jobs. Lakeflow Jobs coordinates the ingestion of multiple weather models, triggers machine learning processes that weight and blend different forecasts, and manages complex job dependencies for reinforcement training workflows used in AccuWeather's proprietary forecasting engine. AccuWeather reports 3x faster dataset development (three months to one month per dataset), a 50% reduction in unactionable alerts, and 50% cost savings on serverless job usage.
