TROY, Mich., Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Plex Systems,
a Rockwell Automation Company and the leader in cloud-delivered
smart manufacturing solutions, today announced the launch of Plex
Production Monitoring, a new quick-start solution that helps
manufacturers gain visibility into real-time plant floor data. Plex
Production Monitoring is an evolution of the widely-deployed Plex
Mach2 solution originally created by Kors Engineering, which Plex
acquired earlier this year.
Plex Production Monitoring is an out-of-the-box solution that
connects to plant floor machines through either a PLC or an edge
device. This rapidly deployable solution—which can be implemented
in just days— allows manufacturers to create scoreboards and
customizable views for operators, supervisors, and the front
office, displaying measurements such as downtime, scrap, quality,
and production cycles.
"Plex Production Monitoring has made an incredible impact for us
from the plant floor to the front office. We have reduced scrap and
increased our performance as well as systems reliability," said
Janice D'Amico, Executive Manager of Business Systems and IT at
Thai Summit America Corporation. "The clear presentation of this
critical information allows our operators to drive higher
throughput and efficiency, making them part of the problem-solving
team here at Thai Summit America."
Plex Production Monitoring captures many measurements, providing
more visibility and control over plant floor operations. One
example is measuring Six Big Losses which gives operators the
ability to identify micro-stoppages, reduced speeds, or reduced
yields. With this information, operators can address these
often-undetected inefficiencies as they occur to drive continuous
improvement.
"Manufacturers are under tremendous pressure to reduce cost and
improve quality, so the need for a smart manufacturing platform has
never been greater," said Nathan
Pieri, Global Vice President of Product Strategy and
Execution at Plex Systems. "Plex Production Monitoring delivers
robust machine connectivity, OEE reporting, and the visibility
needed to continuously improve their production operations."
"Making the shift towards a digital manufacturing facility can
be done in phases," said Reid
Paquin, Research Director at IDC. "Solutions like this from
Plex that provide real-time visibility can serve as a great
starting point for organizations looking to progress down their
digital manufacturing journey."
