Works with Plex
Plants that run Plex keep their orders, inventory, and job history in it, and still build the daily plan by hand. Semia reads that data, adds the rules Plex never captured, and writes tomorrow's plan for a named human to approve. Nothing gets replaced and nothing gets installed on the line.
Your orders, inventory, and production history stay exactly where they are. Semia connects read-only, the same way it reads spreadsheets, email, and WhatsApp. Nothing is migrated, and nothing changes on the floor without a human decision.
Every morning Semia turns the day's orders, stock, attendance, and machine status into a finished production plan, sequenced for finite capacity, shelf life and FEFO, and allergen changeovers. A named planner reviews and approves before anything reaches the floor.
Every plant runs on rules that live outside the system: the line that runs slow after washdown, the customer that always ships first, the changeover that needs a longer cleanout. Semia learns those by shadowing your planner, and shows plain-language reasoning for every call so the rules stay correctable.
There is no integration project and no consultants. You grant read access to the systems that hold your planning inputs, Plex included, and that is the extent of the IT work.
From day one Semia sits next to your planner, asks questions, and drafts real plans alongside the plan your planner actually runs. By week two your planner is approving a finished draft instead of assembling one.
The fastest evaluation is watching Semia plan your plant, not a demo dataset. At our design partner, daily planning went from about 3 hours a day to roughly 15 minutes (design-partner data). Book a working session at /demo.
No. Plex stays the system of record for your orders, inventory, and production history. Semia is the planning layer on top: it reads that data and writes the daily plan for a named human to approve. Semia is an independent product and is not affiliated with or certified by Plex.
The inputs a planner uses to build the day: orders, inventory and lots, and job and production history. Access is read-only, and your data stays inside your company.
No. Granting read access takes about 30 minutes, and after that Semia onboards itself: it reads your systems, asks your planner questions, and learns by shadowing. It is useful in about two weeks.
That is the normal case: part of the plan lives in Plex, part in spreadsheets and WhatsApp, and part in one planner's head. Semia reads all of it as it is. For the broader story see /erp-integrated-production-planning.
