Hatch Stamping improves inventory accuracy and cuts report generation time with Plex Systems

Hatch Stamping, a metal stampings manufacturer for the automotive industry, faced challenges achieving efficiency and growth due to its manual processes and an antiquated DOS-based ERP system.

The Plex solution provided a fully integrated, cloud-based system that streamlined data gathering and management. Key results included the ability to isolate financial and performance metrics by plant, improved inventory accuracy through barcoding, and customized OEE reporting to quickly solve production issues. Plex enabled Hatch to redirect resources from manual reporting, achieve greater operational transparency, and access real-time data from anywhere to make proactive decisions.
