Plex Production Monitoring Integrations

High-resolution visibility, error-proofed controls, and a real time production ecosystem connected to your ERP-by-design will help you increase plant floor efficiency. ERP systems were not 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 control so you can have up-to the-second manufacturing data for end-to–end visibility and closed loop control. Flexible, configurable and cloud-native solution that can be deployed, standardized, and integrated with your corporate ERP system. A suite of unified shop floor applications that are all based on a common database. This eliminates the possibility of errors or disruptions caused by inter-application integrations. Operator control that is paperless and easy to use to increase productivity and eliminate errors in manual processes.

Plex Quality Management System helps discrete and process manufacturers comply with strict industry and customer requirements. It is a closed-loop digital record system. Ensure predictable, repeatable quality delivery Clear reporting and in-line quality are key to ensuring high quality. With digital quality documentation, the enterprise can meet industry standards and comply with customer regulations. Increase repeat and new business growth through on-time delivery, better supplier management, and customer satisfaction. Quality management is an integral part of your workflows and processes. This reduces quality loss and the risk of recalls or warranty issues. It also improves your brand reputation and customer relations. Plex makes it easy to share quality requirements and documentation in real time across the enterprise. Plex allows you to create process control plans that include detailed inspection instructions and digital checklists.

You can take control of your plant floor by providing full visibility into the production lifecycle and full connectivity with your manufacturing ERP. Automating tasks can reduce errors, improve quality and ensure accurate communication between the top and the floor. A comprehensive, real-time overview of your entire production cycle. You and your customers can have full traceability and operations monitoring. Many people still manually enter data in many plants today. Plex's paperless and easy-to-use operator Control Panel automates tasks. This reduces human error and increases productivity. Plant operators can reduce compliance risk by using database-driven traceability and in-line quality control. MES/MOM systems have traditionally had many applications that are connected by complex integrations. Plex offers a single interface to all applications that were designed to work together.

Monitor machine and plant health and perform proactive maintenance to ensure maximum uptime, throughput, as well as optimal uptime. Analytics and Industrial IoT technology can be used to gain deeper insight into plant equipment and enable predictive maintenance. Monitor machine health to reduce production disruptions due to unexpected outages or machine failures. Predictive maintenance is a way to reduce the time required to diagnose and fix machine health issues. It also improves historical data traceability. Contextualize IT/OT data to link plant floor data with MES data, and support informed decision-making. Real-time data collection and analytics are used to analyze and compare machine performance and health, as well as to generate early notifications about potential disruptions to reduce overtime labor costs, emergency maintenance costs, and over P&L impact.
