Your Data, Your Rules: Flexibly Managed, Completely Documented
Every operation is different. PLEXecute adapts to your structures, not the other way around. Manage employees, equipment, products and shifts as easily as a spreadsheet, with the security of complete traceability for audits.
The Challenge with Production Data
Every manufacturing operation collects data: employee information, equipment specifications, product recipes, shift models, qualification matrices. This data is the foundation of every schedule. But in many operations, it's scattered: in Excel lists, in folders, in different software systems, sometimes only in the heads of long-time employees.
The problem grows when data needs to be maintained. A new employee is hired and must be created in multiple systems. A recipe is adjusted and the information must be communicated to multiple places.
Rigid Systems That Don't Fit the Operation
Standard software comes with standard structures. But no operation is standard. The products are different, the equipment is different, the processes are different. Either the software forces you to adapt your processes to the system, or expensive customizations become necessary.
Double and Triple Data Entry
Changes must be made in multiple systems. The result: inconsistent data, outdated information in some places and significant time spent on maintenance.
No Traceability for Changes
Who last changed the recipe? When was the shift model adjusted? What was the original value? With manual systems, such questions start a detective investigation.
Cumbersome Entry Instead of Efficient Work
Many software systems make data entry unnecessarily complicated. Instead of clear tables, there are nested masks. This inefficiency adds up to significant time loss with regular data maintenance.
Data Management That Works
Familiar Tabular Entry
Data entry works the way you're used to from spreadsheets. Shift schedules, employee lists, equipment overviews: everything is displayed in clear tables. Click in a cell, change the value, done.
But more happens in the background than in Excel: Every change is automatically saved and documented. Other users see the update immediately.
Complete Change History
A complete history exists for every record: When created? Which changes? Who changed? What was the previous value? This documentation is created automatically. During audits, the information is immediately available.
Instant Availability for Everyone
Changes are immediately visible to all users. No time delay, no synchronization problems. When you adjust a recipe, all authorized users immediately see the new status.
This also applies to shop floor terminals: Employees in production work with the same current data as the office.
Adaptable to Your Operation
Every operation has its own structures, categories, designations. PLEXecute can be adapted to these specifics. Industry-specific fields, custom categorizations, adapted structures.
Experience Change History Live
This is what complete documentation looks like in PLEXecute
Recipe "Product A" changed
Sugar: 150g → 140g | Reason: Adjustment after quality review
Mr. Schmidt received "Line 3" qualification
Training successfully completed
Shift model "3-Shift Summer" activated
Valid from: 04/01/2024
Ms. Becker was created
Team: Production B | Qualifications: Line 1, Line 2
What Data You Can Manage
PLEXecute covers all master data relevant to production scheduling. The data areas are interconnected and are automatically considered during scheduling.
Employees & Teams
Master data and contacts, qualifications and training, shift assignments, working time accounts: all information relevant for deployment scheduling.
Equipment & Machines
Technical data, capacities, maintenance intervals, product assignments: the overview of your manufacturing capacities.
Products & Recipes
Product master data, recipes and variants, quality parameters, packaging information: from recipe to packaging.
Shifts & Times
Shift models, working time regulations, holidays and shutdowns, special regulations: the temporal structure of your production.
Audit Security Through Complete Documentation
For operations in regulated industries, traceability of changes is not just practical but mandatory. PLEXecute was developed from the start with this requirement profile.
Typical Audit Situation
Without PLEXecute (30-60 minutes)
You search Excel files, ask colleagues, search through email threads. In the end, you have an incomplete answer from various sources.
With PLEXecute (10 seconds)
You open the recipe, click "History". You immediately see: Last change, who, when, what exactly was changed.
What Is Documented
Timestamp, user, affected record, value before and after: automatically and immutably.
Everyday Real-World Examples
The Situation
A new employee is hired. They must be created in the system so they can be considered in scheduling.
Without PLEXecute
Fill out forms, send to different departments, create in multiple systems. This takes hours or days.
With PLEXecute
Click "New" in the employee overview, enter master data, assign qualifications, assign shift model, save: done in minutes.
The Result
The new employee immediately appears in scheduling. All data is documented.
The Situation
An ingredient in a recipe must be changed, for example because a supplier changes.
Without PLEXecute
Enter the change in Excel, inform all affected areas by email, hope the info arrives.
With PLEXecute
Open recipe, click ingredient, enter new value, optionally enter reason, save.
The Result
The change is automatically documented. Affected areas are automatically informed. Everything is available for audits.
The Situation
Starting next month, a new shift model applies, for example an adjustment of break times.
Without PLEXecute
Adjust shift model, then manually update every single schedule, hope nothing is overlooked.
With PLEXecute
Open shift model, adjust times, set validity period, save. The system automatically considers the new times.
The Result
No manual adjustments needed. The change is documented and automatically affects all future schedules.
