Batesville Tool & Die, a precision metal stamper serving automotive and industrial markets, operated separate custom applications across facilities in Indiana and Mexico that could not share data. After implementing Plex Manufacturing Cloud ERP, the company connected PLCs for real-time shop-floor communication, deployed control plans and digital checksheets for quality data capture, and enabled cross-border visibility into supplier inventory. The single cloud platform eliminated manual data entry, supported VisionPlex screen customization, and improved process efficiency without requiring custom programming.

Integrated shop-floor PLCs for real-time machine data and automated label printing

Implemented control plans and digital checksheets to reduce inspection errors
