You can reduce your defects up to 95% by performing in-process quality checks. Standardize best practices to increase productivity by 20% You can track your processes 100% with 100% certainty and real-time control. You can accelerate and improve the accuracy of your operational decision making. Capture tribal knowledge to close the skills gap.

Enhance the efficiency of your plant floor through high-definition visibility, foolproof management, and a real-time production environment that seamlessly integrates with your ERP by design. Traditional ERP systems were not specifically built for manufacturing execution, and relying on post-production information, or “back-flushing,” does little to aid in controlling output during the manufacturing process. Plex’s Manufacturing Execution Suite (Plex MES) offers real-time production oversight, providing immediate access to manufacturing data for comprehensive visibility and effective closed-loop control. This adaptable, cloud-native solution is crafted for straightforward deployment, standardization, and seamless integration with your existing corporate ERP. The suite comprises a collection of unified shop floor applications operating on a shared database, minimizing the potential for disruptions or errors caused by inter-application connections. With a focus on a paperless environment, it is user-friendly, empowering operators to boost productivity while eliminating manual process errors, ultimately transforming the way manufacturing operations are conducted. By integrating these systems, businesses can achieve a more streamlined and efficient manufacturing process.

Gain command over your manufacturing floor by achieving complete insight into your production process while ensuring seamless connectivity with your ERP systems. This can be accomplished through the automation of tasks, reduction of errors, enhancement of in-line quality, and facilitating effective communication between upper management and the shop floor. With a holistic and real-time perspective of your entire production lifecycle, both you and your clients benefit from thorough traceability and operational monitoring. Despite advancements, many manufacturing facilities still rely on manual data entry. Plex's intuitive, paperless operator Control Panel streamlines operations, minimizes human mistakes, and boosts efficiency. Plant personnel can also reduce compliance risks with database-driven traceability and immediate in-line quality oversight. Unlike traditional MES/MOM systems that consist of various applications linked via complicated integrations, Plex offers a cohesive solution — presenting a single user interface where applications are designed to function collectively, enhancing overall operational efficiency. This innovative approach not only simplifies processes but also empowers teams to focus on continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.

Effortless integration with machinery allows you to obtain the real-time operational key performance indicators essential for managing your production efficiency effectively. No more reliance on dry-erase boards! Plex Production Monitoring, utilizing Plex Mach2, ensures smooth connectivity between machines on the production floor. Our ready-to-use software grants you rapid access to production insights without straining your resources. You remain informed at all times, thanks to easily customizable dashboards and intuitive visuals that deliver immediate feedback and current production data. Most importantly, you can trust the accuracy of the information provided. Real-time metrics facilitate ongoing improvement cycles, ensuring you’re never dealing with outdated data. This empowers you to enhance Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and minimize unexpected downtime, thereby streamlining your operations further. By leveraging these insights, your team can make smarter decisions that lead to greater productivity and efficiency.

Actively oversee the health of machines and plants to maintain maximum uptime, productivity, and address maintenance requirements effectively. Utilize the advantages of analytics along with Industrial IoT technologies to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of equipment on the plant floor, facilitating predictive maintenance capabilities. Keeping an eye on machine health is essential to minimize production interruptions that stem from unexpected failures and outages. By promoting predictive maintenance, the time required to assess machine health issues can be significantly reduced, while also enhancing the traceability of historical data. Integrate IT and OT data into a unified viewpoint to bridge the gap between plant floor information and MES data, thereby enabling more informed decision-making processes. Employ real-time data gathering and integrated analytics to monitor live data concerning machine health and performance, assess machines against optimal conditions, and issue early warnings about potential disruptions, which in turn helps in lowering overtime labor costs, scrap rates, emergency maintenance expenses, and adverse impacts on profit and loss. This comprehensive approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also fosters a culture of proactive management across the manufacturing process.
