Leading automotive tier-one supplier leverages 'single source
of truth' software platform to accelerate digital transformation,
empower employees, and optimize production
BRUSSELS, Feb. 5, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's
largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital
transformation, today announced that Bayrak Technik GmbH, a leading
supplier of interior, exterior and chassis components for the
global automotive industry, has expanded its deployment of the Plex
Smart Manufacturing Platform.
As well as adopting more elements of the Plex suite – including
ERP, QMS, and MES – Bayrak Technik is also widening the
geographical deployment of the platform to other sites within the
group. As a result, the company is now able to address a wider
variety of operational challenges, including inventory control,
production planning, asset integration and operational-data
analytics and deployment.
The company, with four manufacturing plants in Germany, is a specialist in the development
and manufacture of thermoplastic, elastomer, and metal components,
not just for automotive components, but also for sealing technology
for the sanitary (medical) and construction industries. Its wider
roll-out of Plex is an important step in its expanding digital
transformation.
"Our Plex solution unites information and data sources from
multiple machines and locations and presents operators with a
single source of truth from which important operational decisions
can be formulated," said Petr
Havelka, vice president, EMEA business operations, Plex.
"Its ability to connect people with machines, track and analyze
plantwide data, and then automate processes not only removes
operational silos, but also empowers people to drive continuous
improvement."
Johan van der Werf, chief
information officer at Bayrak Technik GmbH, explains: "Not only did
we want better control over our inventory and production processes,
but one of our customers – a major German automotive OEM – wanted
access to our machine data to complete a digital chain. This
customer was the first, but we knew it would not be the last, so we
needed a strong, scalable and widely deployable smart manufacturing
platform for our growing digital aspirations."
