BIC transforms manufacturing with digital innovation
When BIC, a world leader in stationery, lighters and shavers, looked to initiate a transformative journey to successfully shift to a more efficient paperless system, it implemented Rockwell Automation's Plex Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
In today's rapidly evolving landscape, the power of data has taken centre stage in the manufacturing industry. With the surge of digitalisation and seamless connectivity, it's becoming essential for manufacturers worldwide to bridge the divide between IT and operation technologies to unlock the hidden potential within their operations.
Plex MES system enabled the creation of a seamless flow of data across BIC's operations, enabling real-time visibility and reporting, automation of data collection, and tracking of production KPIs.
