Plex Manufacturing Cloud Asset Management
Enterprise asset management including preventive maintenance, asset lifecycle tracking, work order management, and asset depreciation.
Plex Manufacturing Cloud provides solid asset management functionality covering most mid-market requirements. It is not a core differentiator, but it handles standard workflows effectively.
The asset management scope Plex Manufacturing Cloud ships, grouped as the product itself organises it.
OEE & Downtime Tracking3
Automated downtime and OEE capture used to trace unplanned stops back to root causes.
- Automatic Downtime CaptureCaptures machine downtime events automatically rather than relying on manual logs.
- Bottleneck & Root-Cause AnalysisAnalyzes production data to surface bottlenecks and the root causes of unplanned stops.

Build my requirements →Machine Health Monitoring4
Live equipment-state monitoring pulled from sensors and PLC events to catch disruptions before they stop production.
- Live Sensor & PLC Data ViewsAssembles a live view of the manufacturing environment from sensor inputs, PLC events and error codes.
- OT/IT Data IntegrationBridges operational-technology data (PLCs, sensors) with MES data for a combined view.
- Contextual TraceabilityConsolidates otherwise fragmented equipment data into one place to trace how a performance issue affects operations.

Build my requirements →Predictive Maintenance & Trend Analytics4
Trend-based predictive maintenance that uses historical machine data and rule-based alerts to flag likely failures early.
- Historical Trend AnalyticsStores historical machine data and analyzes trends to predict maintenance needs and diagnose failure conditions.
- Rule-Based Failure NotificationsCustom rules compare live machine performance to expected states and trigger alerts on likely failures.
- Maintenance Request ManagementRoutes maintenance requests through MES or a connected CMMS rather than off-system paperwork.

Build my requirements →Tooling Management5
Die and tool lifecycle tracking, including supplier-recorded measurements and preventive maintenance scheduling for tooling.
- Tool Drawing ControlKeeps tool specifications and drawings in sync with the manufacturing processes that use them.
- Supplier-Recorded Tool MeasurementsLets external tooling suppliers log measurement data directly rather than through manual handoff.
- Tool Life TrackingCompares actual tool wear against expected life to flag replacement before failure.
- Tooling Preventive Maintenance SchedulingScheduled preventive maintenance for dies and tool sets to avoid unplanned tooling downtime.

Plex Manufacturing Cloud Asset Management FAQ
Does Plex support predictive maintenance?
Yes. Plex's predictive maintenance and trend analytics uses historical machine data and rule-based alerts to flag likely equipment failures early, building on live machine-health monitoring pulled from sensors and PLC events.
Does Plex track tooling and die lifecycle separately from other assets?
Yes. Plex includes tooling management for tracking die and tool lifecycle, including supplier-recorded measurements and preventive maintenance scheduling specific to tooling rather than general plant equipment.
Is Plex's asset management built for manufacturing equipment specifically?
Yes — Plex's asset and maintenance capabilities center on production equipment: machine health monitoring, OEE and downtime tracking, and predictive maintenance, rather than a general-purpose enterprise asset management module covering facilities or fleet.
Does Plex require separate sensor hardware for machine monitoring?
Plex's machine health monitoring is built around live sensor and PLC data feeds, so it depends on your equipment already having (or being fitted with) the relevant connectivity. Confirm specific hardware and integration requirements with Plex for your shop floor.
