Key Capabilities: Take Control of Your Shop Floor

Plex MES is a comprehensive manufacturing software solution that provides real-time, paperless production management to drive enterprise-wide compliance, quality, and efficiency.

With Plex MES, you’ll gain control of your plant floor with a comprehensive view of your entire production lifecycle and full connectivity to your ERP. You’ll easily automate tasks, help prevent errors, drive in-line quality, and sync up the top floor with the plant floor. The result? Less risk, higher quality, happier customers and a healthier bottom line.

Plex MES offers the flexibility and functionality required to enable smart manufacturing. Key capabilities include:

  • Production finite scheduling to determine which jobs to schedule to which work centers, with resource availability in mind
  • Close-loop quality management to maintain quality procedures directly from the control plan for increased process repeatability and predictability
  • Inventory management to track and manage your inventory in real time, and stay in control with end-to-end traceability
  • Production management to make the right quantity of the right product at the right time, for improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)

How Can a Cloud Solution Transform Your Operations?

Drive better visibility

Gather real-time and accurate material and traceability data to make sure that your production is always running smoothly.

Cut costs

Streamline operations to reduce the time it takes to make each product, decrease downtime, and minimize waste.

Increase productivity

Choreograph production processes directly from the control plan to shorten cycle times and improve efficiency. Eliminate manual process errors with paperless operator control.


Why Cloud MES?

While the cloud in manufacturing is not meant to completely replace on-prem software, hardware, and physical access, it provides new capabilities that expand upon your existing systems to create efficiencies, improve collaboration, and more.

With an MES solution native to the cloud, customers can more closely coordinate activity and bring the entire enterprise under a single system of record while still retaining each of their location’s unique system needs. This keeps plant-specific production, inventory and quality information readily accessible by other plants and enterprise personnel as needed.

  • Great alternative or complement to customized MES
  • Robust MES/MOM, with extensions to ERP, Supply Chain, and APM
  • Modern, multi-tenant, versionless software at scale
  • Quick to configure and deploy, updated by operators or machines
  • Focus on analysts and business outcomes over-programming
  • Software and service price competitive

Today’s manufacturers need to increase resilience in their operations - no one can afford to be mediocre at anything they’re doing in manufacturing. If manual processes and disconnected systems are causing your organization to experience any of the challenges below, your operation will benefit from the Plex MES.

  1. High levels of scrap and rework
  2. Excessive inventory carrying costs
  3. Traceability issues
  4. Limited visibility into work-in-progress
  5. Missed production schedules
  6. Poor production throughput
  7. Extreme errors
  8. Operating with old data
  9. Slow reaction times

With Plex MES, the paper chase ends. Control, transparency, and synchronization become your “modus operandi”. New levels of performance are achieved, and doing more without adding more becomes the norm.
