Sanders Candy realizes significant ROI with Plex in part due to fast-track deployment, and being able to rely on experts for hardware infrastructure buildouts and software maintenance. The company has seen significant overall growth in the last three years, with equipment and production lines contributing to the company tripling its output.

Plex has introduced two new analytic applications designed to provide manufacturers insight into supply chain performance and their workforce. Part of the IntelliPlex Analytic Application Suite, these new apps not only to streamline and automates operations, but also enable greater access to company wide data.

High tech manufacturer Firstronic demonstrates how it successfully utilizes robotics across the enterprise, using Plex to support its integration requirements, as well as to handle data flowing between the robots and other company systems.

Manufacturing leaders, including Accuride Corp., North American Lighting, BRC Rubber & Plastics, Küster North America, Inc. and Wonton Food Inc., are choosing Plex to run their operations around the world, leading to another record year for Plex Systems.

Hausbeck Pickle Company, which supplies pickles and peppers to fast food chains such as Burger King, Papa John's, Domino's and Sonic Drive-In, describes how Plex has helped the organization scale while streamlining production.

Mobile Monday Detroit, which brings together individuals and organizations focused on a mobile/wireless connected community, welcomes Jerry Foster to its April 10, 2017 event to share insights on how Plex makes IIoT “real” for manufacturers.

A need to handle rapidly changing situations on the shop floor leads many mid- to large-size manufacturers to cloud-based ERP software solutions that offer fast, easy updates, and minimal to no IT overhead costs compared to on-premises ERP installations. Plex lends its insights on the top trends to watch, and how to most effectively leverage cloud-based technologies.

The IntelliPlex Production Analytic Application, which leverages the IIoT for business insights, is called “practical and useful.” Plex’s latest IntelliPlex application delivers dashboards with specific requirements, provides a deeper understanding of analytics and data science and contributes to creating real-world solutions within organizations.

The IIoT allows manufacturers to collect better data collection on the shop floor. Now, with the IntelliPlex Production Analytic Application, that information can be tapped “to provide manufacturing leaders with enterprise-wide insight into the performance of production operations, including processes and equipment on the shop floor.”
