Motus Integrated Technologies, a Tier 1 automotive interior supplier, implemented the Plex Manufacturing Cloud after its 2014 carve-out from Johnson Controls. The four-month rollout replaced paper processes and multiple legacy systems with a single cloud platform, delivering real-time inventory data, reduced scrap, and standardized processes across plants in the US, Mexico, Germany, China, and Japan. The system also supported rapid integration of an acquisition and contributed to Motus earning GM Supplier of the Year recognition.

Key takeaways

Replaced QAD MFG/PRO and multiple legacy systems with one cloud platform across five plants and headquarters

Eliminated 12-16 hour delay in production and inventory visibility by moving from paper to real-time data capture

Reduced human errors and scrap rates while improving quality through earlier error detection at work centers

Enabled rapid integration of three acquired plants within months using internal resources after initial Plex-led rollout

Supported consistent global processes across four countries, contributing to consecutive GM Supplier of the Year awards
