TURN DATA INTO QUALITY INSIGHTS
Plex Quality Management System (QMS) by Rockwell Automation is a cloud-based, digital quality solution for manufacturers, that standardizes and automates quality documentation, processes and measurements. Plex QMS applies data intelligence and insights to enable fast, informed decisions and transforms reactive quality management to a proactive, value-added process.
REDUCE QUALITY COSTS AND RISK
Plex QMS ensures quality with a predictable, repeatable and data-driven process, so you can say goodbye to flipping through cumbersome stacks of paper and tracking down document owners to verify updates. With Plex QMS, you can go paperless with digital check sheets that validate quality and process control in real time to ensure that execution meets planned specifications.
It works by helping you generate process control plans with detailed inspection instructions and check sheets that are closely integrated with product specifications. If product quality becomes out of spec, automatic error-proofing capabilities stop production before it’s too late, helping you save time and resources while reducing overall risk.
Plex QMS features cloud-based document control and versioning, ensuring that the latest quality requirements and documentation are available and shared in real time across the entire enterprise. When everyone has access to a single source of truth, you’re better prepared to work with consistency and intent, which ultimately reduces cost, mitigates risk and contributes to consistent customer satisfaction.

DIGITALLY INTEGRATE QUALITY & COMPLIANCE PLANNING
When it comes to compliance planning, you can manage and track documents such as engineering and material specifications or recipes while seamlessly maintaining detailed lists of compliance requirements for each, as needed. Plus, common regulatory compliance standards like APQP, FSA, HACCP, FSMA, and SQF are easily supported across workflows, so you and customers can rest assured that important industry-specific standards are being met.
RESOLVE ISSUES QUICKER WITH BUILT-IN CORRECTIVE & PREVENTATIVE TOOLS
Whether issues are raised within your own organization or externally by suppliers or customers, fast resolution is always the goal. With Plex QMS, you can streamline the process by using built-in forms for problem reporting and resolution. The integrated forms help you record, track, resolve and follow up on problems with greater efficiency and attention to detail.
Plex QMS makes it easy to ensure the right people are privy to the right information, allowing you to assign actions to select personnel who can contain, correct and future-proof problems.
For supplier-related problems, the Plex Supplier Portal offers a streamlined process for collaborating directly with suppliers on waivers or cost recovery. Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) capabilities are integrated with inventory and lot tracking, supplies, rejections, and general shipping to help you track deviations down to the container or individual part level. You can also track approved deviations from control plan dimensions or specifications during the production process and determine products that need to be returned to the supplier.
