What is Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform?

Boost the effectiveness of your production floor through enhanced visibility, reliable management, and a real-time production atmosphere that is intentionally designed to integrate with your ERP. Conventional ERP systems were not tailored for the nuances of manufacturing execution, and depending on post-production data or “back-flushing” offers limited support for managing production output during operations. Plex’s Manufacturing Execution Suite (Plex MES) delivers instantaneous production monitoring, granting immediate access to manufacturing information for thorough visibility and efficient closed-loop control. This versatile, cloud-based solution is designed for easy implementation, standardization, and flawless integration with your current corporate ERP. The suite includes a set of cohesive shop floor applications that utilize a common database, which reduces the risk of disruptions or errors stemming from connections between different applications. With an emphasis on creating a paperless environment, it is designed to be intuitive, enabling operators to enhance productivity while eradicating manual processing mistakes, fundamentally changing the landscape of manufacturing operations. Furthermore, by seamlessly integrating these systems, organizations can realize a more coherent and efficient manufacturing workflow that supports their long-term growth objectives.

What is Epicor Connected Process Control?

Epicor Connected Process Control offers an intuitive software solution designed to create and manage digital work instructions while maintaining strict process control, effectively minimizing the chances of errors in operations. By integrating IoT devices, it captures comprehensive time studies and detailed process data, including images, at the task level, providing unprecedented real-time visibility and quality oversight. The eFlex system is versatile enough to accommodate countless product variations and thousands of components, catering to both component-based and model-based manufacturers alike. Furthermore, work instructions seamlessly connect to the Bill of Materials, guaranteeing that products are assembled correctly every time, even when modifications occur during production. This advanced system intelligently adapts to variations in models and components, ensuring that only the relevant work instructions for the current build at the station are presented, enhancing efficiency and accuracy throughout the manufacturing process. In this way, Epicor empowers manufacturers to maintain high standards of quality control while adapting to the dynamic nature of production demands.
