Maori-owned milk company invests in Rockwell Automation Plex ERP technology

Māori-owned milk company Miraka is using Rockwell Automation Plex ERP technology for its dairy business, which will soon be powered by renewable geothermal energy.

The dairy business will be using the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to enhance its operations.

Miraka CEO Karl Gradon said, “In real time, Plex will seamlessly integrate and manage all of our transactions and systems from the farm, to factory, to customer. It will help us to become even more efficient, resilient, agile and sustainable.”

“Miraka has always taken a long-term, intergenerational view about everything we do. We’re focused on success and partnering with businesses which share our values. We look at where we’ve come from, where we are now, and where we want to be in the future,” he said.

Rockwell Automation regional director, South Pacific Anthony Wong said, “What sets Plex apart is that it was designed by manufacturers and processors with deep knowledge of these industries. Companies like Miraka can use these intuitive ERP tools to gain efficiencies across their operations.”

“Plex is also a modular system, so it can grow and adapt as needs change in the future, allowing companies like Miraka to remain agile and stay ahead of the competition,” he said.

Miraka chief financial officer Robert Bell, who is leading the project, said, “Plex will streamline the way we operate and will link into the existing Rockwell automation in the plant. It is next-level integration, and we expect it will provide beneficial outcomes for our team, our dairy farmers and customers.”
