Standardizing Success with Plex: BIC's Digital Transformation Journey

Laying the Foundation for Seamless Integration

BIC's digital transformation journey with Plex Systems started with a focus on overcoming operational silos and integrating technology and people seamlessly. The goal was to standardize all production processes, facilitating both horizontal and vertical integration. By connecting machines and workers at a larger scale, BIC aimed to enhance operations in its Bizerte facility, with the potential to scale the success to other company facilities over time. According to Rogelio Demay, the Senior Manager Information Technology, EMEA at BIC, the core idea was to break operational silos and connect workers effectively through unified data sources. This worker-centric approach aimed to optimize manufacturing processes and improve operational efficiency.

Integration Through Simplification

One of BIC's key objectives was to replace local solutions with a standardized cloud-based system accessible from any location. By selecting Plex MES, BIC embarked on a company-wide smart manufacturing initiative to simplify and synchronize global manufacturing tools and processes. Transitioning from fragmented software to a fully integrated execution system with Rockwell Automation's Plex MES enabled BIC to resolve operational silos and leverage the power of advanced machinery. This simplification of the IT footprint provided full visibility over operations and allowed the sharing of reliable information, ensuring consistent and accurate data across the organization. The standardized approach not only drove most factory functions but also improved efficiencies by eliminating disparate systems.

Making Improvements on a Global Scale

The implementation of the BIC Plex MES solution covered end-to-end processes across multiple sites, enhancing visibility into shop-floor performance and OEE, resulting in increased inventory accuracy and improved production planning. With thousands of produced containers recorded daily, the MES Advance package facilitated a seamless transition and improved shop-floor processes. BIC achieved significant improvements in traceability from raw materials to finished products, showcasing their commitment to quality and efficiency. The shift from paper-based to digital systems with Plex MES facilitated swift issue resolution and continuous improvement, positioning BIC for further success in their digital transformation journey.
