Toyotetsu goes live with Plex Systems in North America

Toyotetsu America Inc. (TTAI), Somerset, Ky., a metal stamping supplier to Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, and Mazda, now is running two North American facilities on the Plex Manufacturing Cloud® from Plex Systems®, a provider of cloud ERP and MES for manufacturing.

Six more TTAI facilities will go live by 2020 in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The company provides body, chassis, and functional parts to the automakers.

The company has integrated its PLCs in more than 250 work centers and plans PLC integration in 100 percent of its machines across North America to eliminate manual processes to increase reporting efficiency and real-time information flow.

TTAI also plans to integrate its kanban methodology with Plex’s kanban capabilities to increase visibility on the plant floor and in the office.
