The Plex Manufacturing Cloud enables discrete or process manufacturers to connect suppliers, manage materials and control machines. Accounting and analytics functions give users the insight to increase competitiveness, efficiency and responsiveness. Built in the cloud, the software provides centralized security, visibility, collaboration and flexibility. It is designed as one unified system that includes a manufacturing execution system (MES) based on lean manufacturing for improved quality, compliance and documentation.
The software also enables users to control shopfloor execution with end-to-end inventory traceability, closed-loop quality and a real-time production ecosystem. Users gain visibility into their business, operations and performance to more effectively respond to ever-changing markets. Analytics and dashboards that deliver manufacturing intelligence enable informed, data-driven decisions. The software can quickly scale database capacity to match the speed of business growth.
