Analytics and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

Plex analytics shortens the path between gathering data and taking action. You can trust a single version of the truth whether looking at a plant floor screen, operational report, or dashboard. And because the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform is cloud-based, you can count on an enterprise-class data warehouse that will grow with you as you do, preventing you from having to overspend to plan for future needs.

Quickly find and navigate through data visualizations. Use drag-and-drop dashboards that require no setup, configuration, or special training. Users can self-provision their own ad hoc reporting to get answers and insights without writing a single line of SQL code, or allow more advanced users to write custom SQL to retrieve additional data from the cloud. Plex is a single source of always-up-to-date truth, enabling you to analyze transactional data as it happens.
