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.

ECM Technologies reduces installation and commissioning time by 50% using digital twin technology

Virtual commissioning and parallel work streamline automotive heat treatment plant timeline with Emulate3D software in industrial processes virtual environment: reproduction of real road and off-road conditions

ECM Technologies has significantly streamlined the design, installation, and commissioning of its large-scale heat treatment systems for the automotive industry by using digital twin technology and Rockwell Automation’s Emulate3D software. Faced with tight timelines and software compatibility challenges during a major project in Mexico, ECM used virtual models to simulate and test their systems in parallel with production. This approach reduced commissioning time by 50%.

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.
