ParkOhio | Manufacturing | 6400 | $1.7B | United States | Plex Systems | Plex ERP | Manufacturing ERP | 2009 | In 2009 ParkOhio implemented Plex ERP to support its Assembly Components Group within the Manufacturing ERP category, establishing a cloud-based platform to unify manufacturing, assembly and warehouse operations. The deployment covered 19 manufacturing, assembly, and warehouse facilities across the United States, Mexico, and China and placed Plex ERP alongside Plex MES and MES Automation & Orchestration to enable real-time shop floor control. ParkOhio configured Plex ERP with Plex MES and MES Automation & Orchestration to automate paper-based, error-prone workflows, enforce up-to-date bills of materials, and provide detailed traceability. The configuration prioritized real-time process and cost visibility, moving the business from batch data collection to continuous, transaction-level manufacturing execution and inventory control. Integrations focused on machine-level data and telemetry, including an Allen-Bradley PLC integration used to implement a data-driven poka-yoke for the rubber hose vulcanizing process, which isolates failed parts, blocks subsequent operations, and prevents shipment. The environment also delivers remote monitoring and alerting for process metrics such as oil tank levels, enabling buyers and operations to receive critical reorder alerts and avoid unplanned downtime. Operational coverage explicitly includes production, quality, inventory control and procurement functions across the ACG facilities. Governance and rollout emphasized change management with a core cross-functional team at each plant, staged pilot cycles, and training to shift operators to real-time workflows, targeting six-month Plex implementations for newly acquired sites. Rockwell Automation participated as the SI/VAR on the program. Reported outcomes from the implemented Plex ERP and MES suite include access to real-time information, automated processes, improved quality control, reduced unnecessary costs, improved profitability and remote data access. | |

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee | Education | 7853 | $1.0B | United States | Cisco Systems | Cisco Digital Network Architecture | Hardware Asset Management (HAM),Software Asset Management (SAM) | 2017 | In 2017, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee implemented Cisco Digital Network Architecture to support Hardware Asset Management (HAM),Software Asset Management (SAM) in its Connected Systems Institute. The deployment was a partnership with Cisco Systems and Rockwell Automation and was constructed as an industrial networking and IoT connectivity testbed for manufacturing education and research in the United States. The implementation leverages Cisco Catalyst Center and Cisco Identity Services Engine together with Cisco networking hardware to provide centralized network provisioning, device inventory and software management workflows. Use of Cisco Digital Network Architecture includes DNA inventory and software image management capabilities to enable HAM and SAM style control over networked devices and endpoint software versions across the institute. Rockwell Automation served as the systems integrator, integrating industrial control assets and IoT endpoints into the Cisco networking fabric. Operational scope focuses on the Connected Systems Institute infrastructure, supporting academic manufacturing labs and research facilities, with functionality oriented toward network provisioning, device visibility and secure IoT onboarding. Governance emphasized network centric inventory and provisioning controls and role based access via ISE for device policy enforcement. The environment functions as a reproducible testbed for next generation manufacturing education and applied research while providing centrally managed HAM and SAM capability through Cisco Digital Network Architecture. | |

ParkOhio | Manufacturing | 6400 | $1.7B | United States | Plex Systems | Plex MES/MOM | Manufacturing Execution System | 2009 | In 2009, ParkOhio implemented Plex MES/MOM as part of a Manufacturing Execution System deployment for its Assembly Components Group. The initial implementation established cloud-hosted Plex ERP, Plex MES and MES Automation & Orchestration A&O as a unified operational backbone and created a repeatable template for scaling to 19 manufacturing, assembly, and warehouse facilities across the United States, Mexico, and China. Plex MES/MOM was configured to capture real-time shop floor transactions, automate paper-based batch processes, and enforce process-level quality controls. Functional capabilities explicitly instrumented include real-time inventory tracking, production execution and routing, automated quality alerts and poka-yoke logic for vulcanizing, and remote process metric monitoring such as oil tank levels and reorder alerts. The implementation integrated machine-level data into Plex, using Allen-Bradley PLCs to feed event and process signals into MES workflows, and employed MES Automation & Orchestration to block downstream operations when a failed process is detected. Rockwell Automation served as the systems integrator on the project, supporting PLC integration and automation orchestration, while the cloud architecture reduced on-site infrastructure overhead and accelerated plant onboarding timelines. ParkOhio’s rollout model emphasized structured change management at each site, forming a plant core team with representatives from all impacted functions and running multiple pilots to entrench real-time operating discipline. The Assembly Components Group set a six-month target to bring newly acquired plants onto Plex, using the standardized configuration and training approach to reduce variability in information access across acquisitions. Explicit outcomes reported from the Plex MES/MOM deployment include access to real-time information, automated processes that removed manual steps, improved quality control through data-driven poka-yoke, reduced unnecessary costs, improved profitability, and remote data access for buyers and operations. The approach and results contributed to ParkOhio’s recognition with Plex’s 2023 Industry Leader Impact Award. | |
