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:
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.
PLEX helps manufacturing companies:
Furthermore, PLEX is the ideal solution for companies that want to leverage the benefits of the cloud to integrate and harmonize the management of multiple geographically separate production or logistics plants.
PLEX maximizes customer value thanks to top-notch features and a low TCO.

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.
