Plex Modules
Production Monitoring
Connect the machines on your plant floor and get transparent, real-time operational KPIs and dashboards. This system analyzes production lines and finished products, alerting you of inconsistencies in the data so that you can address them and limit faulty products, material waste and rework.
Asset Performance Management (APM)
This system combines process, operational and machine-level data into highly visual dashboards, enabling you to proactively monitor machine and plant health. With the increased visibility, you can set predictive maintenance schedules to ensure optimal uptime and throughput of all your assets.
Quality MAnagement System (QMS)
This digital quality solution standardizes and automates your quality documentation, processes and measurements. From raw materials to finished goods, enhance the traceability of your processes. This level of data transparency not only simplifies documentation but also mitigates the risk of recalls by tracking the exact components used in everything that comes off your production line.
Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
Real-time monitoring of machines, labor and production processes helps you drive enterprise-wide compliance, quality and throughput. Identify bottlenecks and downtime as they occur so you can increase production output without adding extra labor, equipment or other resources. Digitize your detailed records for fewer errors, faster root-cause analysis, more consistent processes and optimal productivity.
Real-time visibility into production, materials, and work-in-progress provides accurate database records in a single location, eliminating the paper trail, solidifying traceability and supporting compliance requirements. Integrated quality controls, automated business processes and paperless production management help you reduce scrap, prevent errors, improve product quality and streamline operations. Achieve higher productivity and greater operational performance with Plex.
