How Prometheus GWOS-AI for Oracle connects to Oracle E-Business Suite
Certified Oracle solution on ERP maintenance data
GWOS reads work orders, operations, resources and assets from Oracle Enterprise Asset Management and writes schedule changes back, rather than keeping a separate copy of the plan.
Other Oracle ERPs
The same product is positioned for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Fusion Cloud, with the integration approach differing by ERP. Confirm the exact version and deployment with Prometheus.
What data moves
| From | To | Data | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oracle EBS EAM work orders | GWOS-AI schedule | Work orders, operations, required skills, durations, asset and status | Planner opens or refreshes the schedule |
| Oracle resources and calendars | GWOS-AI schedule | Crew availability, shifts and capacity | Shift definitions change or schedule recalculates |
| GWOS-AI schedule | Oracle EBS EAM | Updated start and finish dates, assignments and resequencing | Planner commits drag-and-drop changes |
| Oracle EBS inventory | GWOS-AI schedule | Material availability for planned work orders | Schedule refresh or readiness check |
Setting it up
- 1Confirm certified versionsCheck the EBS release, EAM patch level and database against Prometheus' supported matrix before scoping.
- 2Clean the maintenance master dataFix operation durations, resource assignments and work order statuses; scheduling is only as good as these fields.
- 3Install and connectDeploy per the vendor guide, create the integration user with the needed EAM responsibilities and test against a non-production instance.
- 4Model crews and shiftsDefine craft, skill and shift calendars so the shift-change impact analysis reflects real availability.
- 5Define scheduling rulesAgree priorities, safety constraints and what a planner may move without approval.
- 6Train planners and pilotRun one maintenance area through full weekly schedule cycles, comparing schedule adherence before and after.
What usually breaks
- !Unrealistic default operation durations make the graphical schedule look precise but wrong.
- !Work orders without assigned resources or skills do not appear where planners expect.
- !Schedule changes committed outside the tool can be overwritten if two users edit the same orders.
- !Material readiness is only as current as inventory transactions, so late issues cause false green status.
- !EBS patching or upgrades can break the certified integration if the version matrix is ignored.
- !AI-assisted suggestions that planners do not trust get ignored, so keep the logic explainable.
A private AI layer across both systems
Schedule risk explanation
A private assistant reading EAM work orders and the GWOS schedule can explain in plain language which jobs slip if a shift is cut and why.
Data quality triage
List work orders with missing durations, resources or parts so planners fix master data before scheduling.
Backlog questions
Ask which assets have the oldest unscheduled corrective work and what parts are blocking them, with the query shown for verification.

When something else fits better
- Native Oracle EAM scheduling and work order views are enough for small maintenance teams.
- Spreadsheet-based or whiteboard scheduling still works for a single plant with a stable crew.
- A full EAM replacement such as Maximo or Infor EAM is a bigger move, justified only if the whole maintenance process is the problem.
Frequently asked questions
Does GWOS replace Oracle EAM?
No. Prometheus positions it as a layer on top, with Oracle ERP kept as the single source of truth for work orders, assets and materials. Planners schedule in the graphical tool and the results are stored in the ERP.
Which Oracle ERPs does it cover?
Prometheus lists Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP and SCM, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Oracle E-Business Suite. Versions and deployment specifics vary, so ask the vendor for the supported matrix for your release.
Is it suitable for on-prem EBS?
It is offered for EBS, which is commonly run on-prem, but confirm deployment options with Prometheus. A private AI layer from Netray can read EBS and schedule data inside your network without sending it to a public cloud.
