Plex MES

Plex MES (now part of Rockwell Automation) is the cloud manufacturing execution system common in discrete manufacturing — automotive, food & beverage, medical device. The platform has rich shop-floor data that historically required custom Plex-side integrations or BI middleware to get out cleanly. When the myai integration lands, Plex production, quality, inventory, and shop-floor state will all be queryable from chats, canvases, and functions through the Plex REST API.

What you'll be able to do

• Pull production state into a chat — running jobs, line status, OEE, all queryable inline without bouncing through the Plex console.
• Quality-event integration — read NCMRs, CAPAs, quality alerts; flag patterns automations should respond to.
• Inventory visibility — current stock positions, WIP, reorder-point alerts surfaced in the same dashboards as the rest of the operation.
• Shop-floor signal awareness — for the operational workflows that need to know which line is running, which is down, and why.
• Cross-system manufacturing reporting — Plex MES data joined with Plex ERP (if customer runs both) or external ERP for the full picture.

How it'll work

OAuth 2.0 against the Plex REST API. Connection details (instance URL, service principal credentials) provided by your Plex administrator.

Use cases we're hearing

• Real-time line-status dashboard — Plex MES data surfaced in a chat-driven canvas the operations lead refreshes throughout the day.
• Quality-trend reporting — NCMR and CAPA data joined with production output for the closed-loop quality view.
• Inventory-anomaly alerts — function reads current stock vs. reorder points, surfaces issues before they cause a stockout.

Reference

• Connection model: Plex REST API + OAuth 2.0 (service principal)
• Scope: ~40 operations across production, quality, inventory, shop floor, reporting
• Plex Cloud and on-prem deployments both planned
