Modern Machine Shop Highlights MERLIN and Caron Engineering's Productivity Partnership

BURLINGTON, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sep 29, 2014) - Astrix Networks Inc., operating as Memex Automation (TSX VENTURE:OEE) ("Memex" or the "Company"), the global leader of manufacturing M2M productivity solutions, is pleased to announce MERLIN is profiled in the September issue of Modern Machine Shop alongside Caron Engineering's multi-axis adaptive control manufacturing methods.

The article: Tool Monitoring for Multitasking Machines, describes Caron Engineering's five multi-axis adaptive control machining methodologies and MERLIN's ability to monetize the improved processes in real-time.

Caron's adaptive control methods are highlighted as improving production within the machining envelop. MERLIN is highlighted as improving production within and outside of the machining envelop by calculating capacity utilization plant-wide. As a result, MERLIN gets the Caron voice of process and the plant's capacity utilization data to the engineering and management teams in their respective business intelligence tools, on any device.

"Making tool data available to third party software applications such as shop floor machine monitoring opens doors to many possibilities such as plant-wide data-driven decision making and integrated automation," said Mr. Caron. "With Caron and MERLIN, manufacturers can understand plant capacity in real-time, down to the accelerometers measuring vibration in spindle bearings, servo-drives and other machine components that can adversely affect cutting conditions, by the second," said David McPhail, CEO, Memex Automation. "Literally, MERLIN and Caron deliver the equivalent of the holy grail of manufacturing in a way that generates up to 400% IRR," said McPhail.
