BIC implemented Plex MES across 90 molding and assembly lines to eliminate operational silos and replace local bespoke software with a single cloud platform. The project delivered real-time visibility into production, inventory, and quality while improving OEE tracking and inventory accuracy. The pilot established a repeatable blueprint for global rollout across additional BIC facilities.

Key takeaways

Replaced multiple fragmented shop-floor systems with one standardized cloud MES

Achieved full traceability from raw materials through finished goods and shipping

Improved inventory accuracy and production planning through real-time data

Enabled rapid scaling of the solution to other global manufacturing sites

Shifted from paper-based processes to digital execution supporting continuous improvement
