After acquiring GR Spring & Stamping, Gill Industries consolidated three legacy ERPs onto the Plex Manufacturing Cloud. The project delivered real-time production and quality data capture on the shop floor, automated hold logic for nonconforming material, and centralized root-cause records. A Business Process Owner team then standardized Plex settings and processes across U.S., Mexico, and Ireland sites, freeing IT staff for higher-value work.

Key takeaways

Standardized eight facilities on a single cloud ERP within 14 months

Reduced Plex configuration differences from 600 to 30 in first standardization phase

Enabled tablet-based production, scrap, and quality recording at each work cell

Automated product hold and shipment blocks for failed quality checks

Reallocated IT resources from server maintenance to strategic projects
