Plex Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Integrations

Drive plant floor efficiency with high-resolution visibility, error-proofed control, and a real-time production ecosystem that is connected to your ERP—by design. ERP systems weren’t 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 management so you have up-to-the-second manufacturing data—for end-to-end visibility and closed-loop control. Flexible, configurable, cloud-native solution for ease of deployment, standardization and integration to complement your corporate ERP system. Suite of unified shop floor applications on a common database to eliminate the risk of disruptions or errors due to inter-application integrations. Paperless, easy to use, operator control to increase productivity, and eliminate manual process errors.

Plex Quality Management System (QMS) helps process and discrete manufacturers meet strict industry and customer compliance with a closed-loop digital system of record. Ensure predictable, repeatable quality delivery through in-line quality, clear reporting, and simple audit tracking. Meet industry compliance and customer regulations with quality documentation available in real-time, digitally, across the enterprise. Drive new and repeat business growth with on-time delivery performance, improved supplier management, and increased customer satisfaction. Making quality management inherent to your workflows and processes reduces quality loss and risk of warranty issues or recalls, improving your brand reputation and customer relationships. With Plex quality requirements and documentation are available and shared in real-time across the enterprise. Plex helps you generate process control plans with detailed inspection instructions and digital checksheets.

Seamless connectivity to machines gives you the real-time operational KPIs you need to take control of your production performance. Say goodbye to dry-erase whiteboards! Plex Production Monitoring, powered by Plex Mach2, provides seamless connectivity to and from machines on the plant floor. With our out-of-the-box software you’ve got access to production visibility fast without draining resources. You’re always in the know. Easily customized dashboards, coupled with clear visuals provide instant feedback and up-to-date production metrics. And most importantly with data accuracy you can trust. Continuous improvement cycles are enabled in real-time with real metrics. Not yesterday’s old news. That puts you in control to drive OEE optimizations and reduce unplanned downtime.

Proactively monitor machine and plant health to ensure optimal uptime, throughput, and maintenance needs. Leverage the benefits of analytics and Industrial IoT technology to gain deeper insight into plant-floor equipment and enable predictive maintenance. Monitor machine health to reduce production disruption due to surprise outages and machine failures. Drive predictive maintenance to decrease the time it takes to diagnose machine health events and improve historical data traceability. Contextualize IT/OT data in a single view to connect plant floor data with MES data and support informed decision making. Use real-time data collection and built-in analytics to capture and analyze live data on machine health and performance, compare machines against a desired state, and generate early notifications of potential disruption to reduce overtime labor, scrap, emergency maintenance costs and over P&L impacts.

MontBlancAI is the central intelligence hub for process manufacturers, ingesting and normalizing data from sensors, PLCs, SCADA, MES and ERP into a unified operational layer that eliminates data silos; it applies AI-powered real-time anomaly detection to surface deviations beyond traditional thresholds, generates actionable insights via intuitive dashboards and root-cause diagnostics, and delivers predictive maintenance and continuous improvement recommendations. Its unified data layer cleans and structures vast streams of process data, enabling teams to increase production capacity, reduce operating costs, ensure consistent quality, and address labor shortages by uncovering untapped capacity and validating critical cycles. Accessible through a web interface and APIs, MontBlancAI acts as a digital twin of your production ecosystem, fostering cross-functional collaboration and data-driven decision-making across plant operations.
