Quatro Composites, a contract manufacturer serving aerospace, medical, and industrial markets, selected Plex after evaluating 40 ERP/MRP providers. The cloud MES replaced manual Excel and Access processes with automated shop floor data capture and centralized reporting. IntelliPlex dashboards support scrap reduction, workflow management, and cross-functional visibility between engineering and production sites. The company plans to expand custom reporting and integrate IoT data via Plex Web Services.

Key takeaways

Plex replaced spreadsheet-based data entry with automated collection requiring minimal operator input.

IntelliPlex enables role-based dashboards and scheduled reports using a 50/50 mix of standard and custom content.

Cloud architecture supported rapid multi-site expansion with documented, repeatable roll-out processes.

Closed-loop scrap reduction process uses cross-department data from engineering, production, and accounting.

Future plans include 50% growth in IntelliPlex builders and SCADA integration for machine IoT data.
