Case Study: Coastal Automotive streamlines operations and audits with Plex Systems

Coastal Automotive streamlines audits from 2 days to hours with Plex Systems

Coastal Automotive, a provider of engineered material technologies for the automotive industry, faced significant challenges as it outgrew its point inventory system and manual spreadsheet tracking. Their processes for inventory traceability, compliance audits, and job management were inefficient and error-prone. To address this, they implemented the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform from Plex Systems to gain better control and documentation of their plant floor operations.

By deploying the Plex solution, Coastal Automotive streamlined its shop floor, enabling centralized job visibility that increased productivity and prevented redundant work. The results were substantial: inventory counting was reduced from two days to less than one, compliance audits were streamlined from two days to just hours, and the scrap rate was reduced by identifying and correcting inefficient production runs. Plex Systems provided the real-time data hub essential for the company's continued growth and innovation.
