Due to be launched late 2026, the PLATO mission will bring the study of main-sequence solar-type and low-mass stars into a new era. In particular, PLATO will provide the community with a stellar sample with solar-type oscillations and activity-induced brightness modulation of unequalled size. We present here the main features of the analysis module that will be dedicated to measure stellar surface rotation and activity in the PLATO Stellar Analysis System.
