In 2023 Futaba North America implemented Plex Asset Performance Management as part of a broader standardization of its automotive manufacturing operations on the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform. The deployment uses the Asset Performance Management application within Plex's cloud delivered suite to centralize equipment reliability and maintenance across FNA production sites. The multiyear contract covers a multi site rollout across FNA's North American production footprint, and Plex Professional Services is engaged to support implementation and configuration.
The Plex Asset Performance Management implementation is delivered alongside Plex Enterprise Resource Planning, Manufacturing Execution System, Quality Management System, Production Monitoring, MES Automation and Orchestration, and DemandCaster supply chain planning, creating a unified manufacturing and business solution. Configuration focus included asset hierarchies, maintenance work order orchestration, condition based monitoring and predictive maintenance workflows to align with automotive just in time production requirements. Automation of maintenance scheduling and linkage to production monitoring was scoped to strengthen work order execution and parts availability.
Integrations were designed to provide real time inventory management, complex planning and consolidated reporting by connecting the Asset Performance Management system with ERP, MES, QMS and production monitoring modules within the Plex platform. The solution emphasizes shop floor to top floor connectivity and data visibility across production, supply chain and business operations to support production, maintenance and supply chain planning functions. Security posture and platform uptime were cited by FNA as key selection criteria, influencing the architectural decision to use Plex's cloud delivered SaaS.
Governance and rollout were structured as a phased, multi site program managed with Plex Professional Services to standardize processes and enforce a common asset and maintenance governance model across sites. Futaba North America targeted improvements in scrap rates, labor productivity and lower overhead costs as outcomes of the standardization and APM deployment. The implementation positions Asset Performance Management within a broader, integrated Plex environment to enable enterprise level maintenance orchestration and operational visibility.
