Oracle Components has recently expanded into new accommodation that doubles the size of its business operation. The move was essential, both to support the growth in current business and to manage the level of trading that Oracle now forecasts. Much of the new premises are occupied by a separate sales office. However some space has become a protected area for a powerful set of servers, as the business growth has also created a demand for upgraded computing capability across the Company.

Oracle is keen for its customers to see the expanded operation for themselves, to ensure they are aware of its full potential for meeting their particular component needs – whether these comprise a set of hard to find capacitors, or helicopter airframe spares. Accordingly the company has now launched its ‘Golden Ticket’ loyalty scheme. Recipients of an Oracle Golden Ticket are invited to Harlow for lunch and a guided tour of the new operation. They will see how Oracle supplies millions of parts from over five thousand suppliers, including military, aerospace and obsolete products as well as industrial specification items. They will also see how Oracle’s response is sufficiently fast to handle extremely serious and time-critical situations such as Aircraft On Ground incidents, where component failure has forced a commercial or military aircraft out of service.

Of course success in technology is important as well – and a legacy of success can be found without leaving Harlow. In the 60s, local company Standard Telephones and Cables (STC) introduced the concept and then the reality of fibre optic cables to the world. Now a part of Nortel, the company was owned at the time by US-based ITT, who since purchasing it back in 1925 had developed STC to take entrepreneurial risks based on solid research and brave innovation.

In 1966, a team lead by Dr Charles Kao demonstrated that light as well as electricity could be used to transmit speech, and more importantly, data, accurately at very high speeds. After Dr Kao’s pioneering work, the Harlow research centre continued to accelerate the fibre optic revolution. In 1978, the first installation of a fibre optic cable was completed. It was designed and developed in Harlow and ran between Hitchin and Stevenage. Ten years later the first fibre optic trans-Atlantic telephone cable was laid; the first time a submarine cable of that length had been possible. In 2009, Dr Kao’s work was recognised with a half share of the Nobel Prize in Physics, for "groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibres for optical communication".

As an integral part of Harlow’s high technology environment, Oracle Components supplies fibre optic as well as copper cable to its customers, sometimes in highly specific configurations. One customer required a special hybrid cable comprising fibre optic cores for carrying signals alongside copper cores for power.  In addition to the demanding specification, the customer required 50 Km of cable in 8 weeks. After much effort, Oracle succeeded in delivering the complex cable to the required length and specification, on time.

With its fibre optic content, the cable owed its existence partly to Harlow’s history. Equally, it owed its delivery to Oracle’s history. Over their years of trading, Oracle’s list of suppliers has grown to beyond the 5000 mark. This breadth of choice always makes Oracle a potential solution to manufacturers’ supply requirements. But it’s their commitment to sourcing the specifications, quantities and schedules that customers actually want rather than just offering off-the-shelf component deliveries that has really driven Oracle’s growth. And it’s a commitment that Oracle intends to refine while its business continues to expand. Try our online part search and see if they can help you today
