PLEX

PLEX is a product of Rockwell Automation

The Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform is a digital system of record that connects people, systems, machines, and supply chains; automates business processes; tracks data from the shop floor to the top floor; and delivers analytics for unmatched visibility, quality, and control.

Plex is a cloud-based software as a service that is offered in modules to allow manufacturers the opportunity to respond to many business challenges. The modules included in the platform include:

  • Production Monitoring
  • Asset Performance Management
  • Quality Management
  • Manufacturing Execution System

These modules can be implemented individually, as integrated components, or as a whole.

Plex operates private data centers in the US which offer the full stack of Plex capabilities, with additional private data centers being added in APAC in 2024. Plex also operates Microsoft Azure-based public cloud data centers in Dublin and Amsterdam in Europe that offer Plex full MES capabilities.

CASE STUDY

Flexible factory design and reconfiguration using digital simulation models

The text discusses the importance of digital simulation models in modern factory design and reconfiguration, particularly in response to shorter product lifecycles and increased customization demands. Traditional design methods often lead to inefficiencies and high costs, making digital simulation essential for creating flexible and adaptable production systems. The article highlights a case study involving a furniture assembly factory, where a manufacturer needed to efficiently handle a variety of custom kitchen cabinet orders. The system integrator was tasked with designing a robotic assembly line that could maintain production efficiency despite the high variety of products.
