"The latest innovations in Oracle Cloud SCM help customers adapt production in real time, improve batch outcomes, and maintain traceability as materials, formulas, and conditions change across operations." - Derek Gittoes, Group Vice President, SCM Product Management, Oracle

February 2026 : At the Oracle AI World event in Mumbai, tech giant Oracle announced a major expansion of its Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM) suite. The update introduces a powerhouse of new capabilities designed specifically for process manufacturers - those who produce goods through mixing and blending - enabling them to master the complexities of recipe management, regulatory compliance, and real-time production visibility.

In industries such as life sciences, chemicals, and food and beverage, the margin for error is razor-thin. Oracle's latest innovations bridge the gap between digital strategy and the physical factory floor, offering a unified solution to manage high variability in yields and materials.\

The new toolkit focuses on "Mixed-Mode" manufacturing, allowing companies to synchronize formulas and recipes automatically. A standout feature is the AI-assisted what-if scenario modeling, which allows manufacturers to predict how formula changes will impact existing batches before they hit the production line.

"Process manufacturers in complex, regulated industries, such as life sciences, chemical, and food and beverage, must deliver consistent quality at scale despite high variability in materials, yields, and production conditions," said Derek Gittoes, Group Vice President, SCM Product Management, Oracle. "The latest innovations in Oracle Cloud SCM help customers adapt production in real time, improve batch outcomes, and maintain traceability as materials, formulas, and conditions change across operations."

Oracle is also doubling down on "Smart Operations," integrating factory-floor equipment directly with cloud execution systems. This ensures that lot-specific data - including grade, expiration dates, and actual material usage - is captured in real time.

Key highlights include: ● Electronic Batch Record Approval: Streamlining compliance with fully auditable digital signatures. ● Flexible Batch Execution: Automatically selecting the correct recipe based on the batch size to meet shifting market demands. ● Advanced Material Control: Automatically blocking the use of expired materials to reduce waste and safety risks.

By embedding AI directly into these workflows, Oracle is transforming the supply chain from a reactive cost center into a proactive, resilient network built to outpace global market changes.
