Case Study: Hudson achieves manufacturing efficiency and real-time cost visibility with Plex Systems

Precision Coating Realizes Manufacturing Efficiencies With Data-driven Insights From Plex

Hudson-based Precision Coating, a medical surface-modification manufacturer, was struggling with six highly customized systems across multiple sites, plus manual Excel and paper-based processes that made reconciliation, reporting, and decision-making slow and error-prone. The company needed a single source of truth to improve visibility, support quality compliance, and better manage manufacturing performance, so it chose Plex Systems and its cloud-based Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform, including MES, QMS, and ERP.

Plex Systems implemented the platform first in Hudson and then across the company’s other U.S. and Costa Rica locations, with support from Plex Professional Services. The result was one integrated system with real-time production and cost insights, stronger communication between Quality and Manufacturing, faster searches for production data, and more efficient reporting; Precision Coating reported streamlined operations, improved productivity, and a clearer path to better inventory accuracy and profitability.
