Custom Beverage Concepts Chooses Plex from Rockwell Automation

Custom Beverage Concepts (CBC), a leading company in emerging beverage trends, has selected Rockwell Automation's Plex Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions to modernize its operations. In collaboration with Control+M Solutions, a Rockwell Gold system integrator, CBC aims to overcome challenges related to data visibility and customized reporting. The implementation of these integrated systems will enable the manufacturer to gain real-time insights into production and downtime, establishing a solid foundation capable of adapting to future growth and shifting market demands.

Proactive Execution and Data-Driven Decision-Making
To ensure a successful transition from disconnected, manual systems to a resilient model, the CBC team proactively completed the Plex Boot Camp program and utilized the Plex Educational Portal prior to implementation. This preparation accelerated the rollout and facilitated a more efficient adoption of the new software. The Plex platform will not only reduce redundant data entry and improve information flow across the enterprise, but it will also equip operators with precise tools to make informed decisions, ensuring reliable execution from management down to the machine level.

Additional Context: Technological Background and Market Dynamics
This section provides technological and market context not explicitly detailed in the original release.

The food and beverage industry operates on tight margins, strict quality regulations, and rapid shifts in consumer trends. Legacy and disconnected systems often create information silos that hinder real-time traceability and operational agility. By adopting cloud-based platforms that unify MES and ERP, such as Plex, mid-sized manufacturers achieve true IT/OT (Information Technology and Operational Technology) convergence. This allows them to monitor Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) instantly, minimize waste, automate regulatory compliance, and scale production lines without the massive infrastructure costs associated with traditional on-premises systems.
