About Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform

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.

    "Quality ERP for Manufacturing"

    Posted 2022-07-19

    Pros: Tons of features. Customizable for most process needs. Can be customized to add functionality or integrate with other systems.
    Very stable. Outside of scheduled outages for updates, we've had almost no downtime in the last couple years.

    Cons: Sometimes too many features. Can be difficult to configure for your environment and processes. Some settings conflict with others and make it impossible to get setup exactly the way you want it.

    Support can be hit and miss. If something has to go to development to fix, it can take years. Yes, we have some tickets that have been open for years.

    Pricing model is interesting and a little annoying for our business. Leads us to pay more for this ERP solution when our raw material prices go up.

    Overall: We switched to this ERP to get away from an older, on-premises solution that was holding us back. It's been good for us and enabled us to accomplish things that would have been difficult or impossible on the old system.
