Case Study: Starplex Scientific achieves real-time shop-floor visibility and reduced scrap with Epicor Mattec MES

Starplex Scientific - Customer Case Study

Starplex Scientific, a manufacturer of plastic containers for the medical, health care, and food & beverage industries with facilities in Etobicoke, Ontario and Cleveland, Tennessee, needed to replace manual data entry and paper records with a live, accurate way to monitor machines, production, and scrap to improve operating efficiency and reduce waste.

Starplex implemented Epicor Mattec MES for machine‑by‑machine, real‑time production and process monitoring via touchscreen interfaces and color‑coded alerts. The system gave instant visibility across departments, enabled scrap‑code logging and root‑cause mitigation, improved preventive maintenance through runtime tracking, increased cycle efficiency, and produced a dramatic reduction in scrap—helping optimize operations and support new contracts.
