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.","company":"Cohu","industry":"Technology & Software","country":"United States","aiCapabilities":["Fraud & Anomaly Detection","Intelligent Automation"],"businessFunctions":["Supply Chain & Logistics","Manufacturing & Production"],"technology":["Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications","Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain and Manufacturing","Oracle Fusion Cloud Product Lifecycle Management","Oracle Configure, Price, Quote","Oracle Fusion Cloud Sales","Oracle Fusion Service","Oracle Field Service"],"deployment":"Public Cloud","problemStatement":"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.","solutionApproach":"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.","businessValue":"With a single source of truth, leaders, engineers, and supply chain teams can make decisions with shared data, newly acquired businesses can be integrated faster, and quarterly updates deliver new AI capabilities without disruption.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://www.oracle.com/customers/cohu-snapshot/","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-09-09T09:01:25.337Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-09-09T09:01:25.337Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/cohu-uses-embedded-ai-to-flag-supply-chain-exceptions-across-a-unified-cloud-platform.
