Case Study: Batesville Tool & Die achieves integrated U.S.–Mexico operations and real-time shop-floor automation with Plex Systems

Precision Metalstamper Improves Process Efficiencies with Plex Cloud ERP

Batesville Tool & Die is a global supplier of precision metal-stamping components with ISO/TS‑certified facilities in Batesville, Indiana and Querétaro, Mexico. For more than a decade the company relied on multiple custom data systems that barely communicated with each other and could not integrate the Mexico plant, creating operational inefficiencies and limited visibility in a data‑driven marketplace.

Batesville deployed Plex Manufacturing Cloud ERP (with Kors Engineering integrating PLCs) to unify its plants and shop‑floor machines, automate routines like label printing, and use control plans and checksheets to capture validated inspection data. The result was integrated U.S.–Mexico operations, real‑time shop‑floor communication, improved operator efficiency, greater supplier‑inventory visibility, and automated manufacturing processes on a secure, reliable cloud platform.
