Miraka Partners with Plex for Sustainable Smart Manufacturing
Miraka, a New Zealand-based dairy company and the first in the world to power its operations using renewable geothermal energy, has partnered with Plex, a solution by Rockwell Automation, to enhance its efficiency and sustainability.

The company plans to utilize Plex to integrate its enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, which are designed to streamline and automate essential business processes such as financial management, human resources, supply chain, sales, and customer relations across the organization.

By harnessing geothermal energy, Miraka achieves a 92% reduction in manufacturing carbon emissions compared to traditional coal-powered factories, positioning it among the industry leaders with one of the lowest global carbon footprints. With Plex, Miraka aims to connect, automate, monitor, and analyze its operations, from farm to factory, to further its commitment to excellence and innovation.

Robert Bell, Chief Financial Officer of Miraka, described Plex as a "single source of truth," equipped with user-friendly tools to help the company optimize business and operational performance by boosting efficiency.

Plex aligns with Miraka's vision to build resilience, agility, and sustainability by providing a comprehensive enterprise view, enabling swift responses to market demands and customer needs without disrupting production. Designed around the principles of smart manufacturing, Plex not only streamlines operations but also facilitates compliance with industry standards, business growth, and alignment with core values.

Bell also emphasized Plex's modular design, which allows it to evolve with the company's changing needs, ensuring agility and a competitive edge in the future.
