Built natively in the cloud, the Plex Smart Manufacturing PlatformTM eliminates data silos and consolidates all company, customer, and production data into one source of truth. Plex offers a complete digital top floor to plant floor solution while also providing the flexibility for individual applications like Plex MES or Plex QMS to complement your existing enterprise solutions.
With a fully digital, connected system, manufacturers can automate changes across the enterprise — all in real time – and replace paper-based or manual activities like production recording and data entry. On the top floor, this translates to automated communications, sign offs, automatic shipping notifications (ASNs), and billing without manual slowdowns. On the plant floor, Plex drives quality specifications and can stop production immediately if something isn’t right, eliminating errors and lowering your risk.
Analytics enable manufacturers to make informed, rapid, and accurate decisions. Now, each group or team member has the data they need in real time. Plex takes the guesswork out of the business, so you can pinpoint issues, establish trends, and quickly generate the views and reports needed to do the job.
Connected, automated tracking capabilities deliver the control and visibility needed to lower costs through right-sizing inventory, measuring productivity, identifying asset performance and maintenance issues before they arise, and error-proofing production setup to ensure alignment before production begins. With the right information at your fingertips, it’s easier to mitigate recall exposure and simplify audits.
“With the improvements we’ve made through Plex, we now see ourselves as manufacturing leaders. We’re a tier-one supplier to the electric vehicle industry, and with that comes an expectation of highly productive processes and high-performing products. Plex plays a crucial role in enabling us to create value for our customers.”
- Eduardo Arana, Deputy Managing Director, Eurotranciatura Mexico
