Plex Production Monitoring Integrations

Drive plant floor efficiency with high-resolution visibility, error-proofed control, and a real-time production ecosystem that is connected to your ERP—by design. ERP systems weren’t designed for manufacturing execution. Plant floor information available post-production—or “back-flushed”—doesn’t help you control output at the manufacturing moment. Plex’s Manufacturing Execution Suite (Plex MES) gives you real-time production management so you have up-to-the-second manufacturing data—for end-to-end visibility and closed-loop control. Flexible, configurable, cloud-native solution for ease of deployment, standardization and integration to complement your corporate ERP system. Suite of unified shop floor applications on a common database to eliminate the risk of disruptions or errors due to inter-application integrations. Paperless, easy to use, operator control to increase productivity, and eliminate manual process errors.

Plex Quality Management System (QMS) helps process and discrete manufacturers meet strict industry and customer compliance with a closed-loop digital system of record. Ensure predictable, repeatable quality delivery through in-line quality, clear reporting, and simple audit tracking. Meet industry compliance and customer regulations with quality documentation available in real-time, digitally, across the enterprise. Drive new and repeat business growth with on-time delivery performance, improved supplier management, and increased customer satisfaction. Making quality management inherent to your workflows and processes reduces quality loss and risk of warranty issues or recalls, improving your brand reputation and customer relationships. With Plex quality requirements and documentation are available and shared in real-time across the enterprise. Plex helps you generate process control plans with detailed inspection instructions and digital checksheets.

Take control of your plant floor with full visibility into your production lifecycle and full connectivity to your manufacturing ERP. By automating tasks, preventing errors, driving in-line quality, and ensuring accurate communication between the top floor and the plant floor. With a comprehensive, real-time view of your entire production lifecycle. For both you and your customers with full traceability and operations monitoring. In many plants today, people still manually enter much of their data. Plex’s paperless, easy-to-use operator Control Panel automates tasks, preventing human errors and increasing productivity. Plant operators can mitigate compliance risk through database-driven traceability and direct, in-line quality control. Traditionally, MES/MOM systems contain disparate applications connected through complex integrations. Plex provides a unified solution — that means a single user interface to applications that are designed to work as one.

Proactively monitor machine and plant health to ensure optimal uptime, throughput, and maintenance needs. Leverage the benefits of analytics and Industrial IoT technology to gain deeper insight into plant-floor equipment and enable predictive maintenance. Monitor machine health to reduce production disruption due to surprise outages and machine failures. Drive predictive maintenance to decrease the time it takes to diagnose machine health events and improve historical data traceability. Contextualize IT/OT data in a single view to connect plant floor data with MES data and support informed decision making. Use real-time data collection and built-in analytics to capture and analyze live data on machine health and performance, compare machines against a desired state, and generate early notifications of potential disruption to reduce overtime labor, scrap, emergency maintenance costs and over P&L impacts.
