Plex Online - Plex Systems, Inc. Plex Online is a Cloud ERP manufacturing software solution that offers technologically advanced features for every department within a manufacturer. Its fully integrated model delivers a complete view of operations, providing business intelligence across the enterprise’s entire supply chain. Plex Online was launched in automotive. It has expanded over time, continuing to serve automotive manufacturers in new ways, while evolving rapidly as a solution for aerospace/defense, medical devices, food/beverage and more. With a user-friendly interface, completely integrated features, revolutionary subscription-only pricing and industry-leading disaster recovery capabilities, Plex Online is a breakthrough technology helping manufacturers meet regulatory, safety, quality, supply-chain, cost, productivity challenges. Plex Online is a true innovation: the first Cloud solution for manufacturers. While peers have taken client-server databases and applied them in hosting models to simulate a Cloud environment, Plex Online is authentic Cloud. It doesn’t require servers, operating systems, databases, hardware, or IT resources. Web-hosted Plex Online consistently provides real-time data, accessible anytime anywhere with virtually no downtime. Its complete integration enables users to manage single points of data entry without replication. Plex Online includes 400-plus modules, supporting more than 35,000 daily users in 2,500 interconnected supplier locations globally with a robust network of secure servers. Plex Online integrates business intelligence across critical functions. It provides integrated quality management, ERP/MRP functionality and inventory tracking, for instance. It facilitates root-cause analyses and corrective actions, including a formalized process for issue notification and problem reporting. The system seamlessly ties together production, maintenance and quality data via PLC equipment. For instance, tooling data is tied with parts data so users know exactly how many parts to run with each tool before that tool needs maintenance. Plex Online creates efficiencies in quality control and supply chain management through the use of barcoding technology. When users scan a barcode on an order, they read all the items required at each stage of assembly/processing. They then scan barcoded parts for each step to ensure products are assembled or processed correctly. The barcode data enables improved traceability. Users can track product data across their entire supply chain to the flawed part or case number. If a part is bad, they access an advanced traceability tree that identifies every component that went into that part and all parts that the flawed component went into. Plex Online meets needs that are unique to highly regulated manufacturers such as those in medical and food. For example, one food customer needed to identify certain raw materials, including peanut oil, as potential allergens. Plex Online automatically added allergen symbols on the barcodes of those potentially life-threatening products and materials so the materials were identified across the supply chain. To ensure its technology advances are customer-driven, Plex Systems has a Customer Advisory Board of volunteer users that meets regularly to recommend and drive product enhancements. Plex Systems holds three U.S. patents for Plex Online’s user interface and it owns the registered trademark for Scanban® — Plex Online’s barcoded electronically tracked Kanban Card.
