Epicor Connected Process Control (CPC) is a flexible no-code/low-code MES and manufacturing operations platform that helps manufacturers standardize production and assembly processes, improve quality, and increase visibility across the shop floor.
Using digital work instructions with multimedia content, manufacturers can guide operators through critical tasks, enforce process control, and improve consistency across products, workstations, and production lines.
CPC connects equipment and devices to collect production and quality data in real time, helping manufacturers identify issues faster, reduce waste, and support continuous improvement.
CPC provides product traceability with a complete historical record of each product's build and inspection history. Manufacturers use CPC to support assembly verification, error proofing, quality inspections, operator guidance, and other connected manufacturing initiatives.
For manufacturers with complex product variations, CPC can dynamically present the correct work instructions based on the product or configuration being built, helping ensure products are assembled accurately and consistently.
Available on-premises or in the cloud, CPC scales from a single work cell to enterprise-wide deployments.

Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform
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.
