What problems does Plex APM Solve?

You have symptoms. We have solutions.

When your machines malfunction, it creates a ripple effect that impacts all aspects of your manufacturing success. If you’re facing any of the challenges listed below, your operation will benefit from Plex APM application:

Missed Deadlines: Equipment failures and unexpected downtime result in delays, missed deadlines, and decreased customer satisfaction.

Substandard Products: With Plex APM, manufacturers can set performance standards for their machines to ensure quality production. Plex APM swiftly notifies team members when machines operate outside these thresholds, enabling quick issue resolution.

Slow Recall Response: Despite the increasing frequency of product recalls, many manufacturers struggle to store and track the necessary data to respond effectively and safeguard their reputation.

Inefficient Micro-Stops: While major production interruptions are often easy to identify and resolve, micro-stops – brief yet frequent production halts – often go unnoticed, causing a significant impact on throughput and quality.

Expensive Equipment Repairs or Replacement: Without real-time performance data, manufacturers typically wait until machines break down or show severe malfunction signs before taking them offline for maintenance. This leads to costly repairs and increased shipping and production costs to fulfill customer commitments.
