As we have moved to virtual vendor briefings, I have increasingly been excerpting short video segments (with permission from vendors), as part of my Analyst Cam series.
Ben Stewart, VP of Product Strategy and Dave Mofars, VP of Product Marketing at Plex Systems presented on their recent acquisition of Kors Engineering and its MACH2 integration platform that interacts with shop floor machines.
Plex and Kors have partnered for nearly two decades and the combination made even more sense as we see increased automation in the shop floor with enterprises bringing more manufacturing back in the face of blue collar labor shortages.
It blends well with the Industrial IoT strategy Plex has been pursuing. MACH2 focuses on the What, the IOT detail allows for pursuing the WHY such as details on machine health.
