CNC Works Inc., Joe Gyotar, Owner recently acknowledged the value of Memex Automation, in commenting “It’s an excellent product.”

Gustavo Hernandez, Plant Superintendent for Ford Motor Company in Mexico recently noted that, “The Memex memory boards and DNC software were able to eliminate data starvation so that the machines could run at full potential. The result was a 150% INCREASE in feed rates. It is estimated that the increase in productivity will repay the costs to Ford before the payment is due.”

Panacea Aftermarket Company, an Ontario-based international supplier of quality forklift replacement parts and accessories, is pleased to announce the launch of its ground-breaking, cost-saving program: Paco Design.

The formula to sustain manufacturing into the future, and a C level executive's value proposition

Sébastien Caron, Plant Manager with Héroux-Devtek raved about Memex Automation noting, “Our biggest differentiator is productivity. We had passive OEE and now we have active OEE (overall equipment effectiveness.) The key to better productivity is not just to track performance, but to act on problems in real-time. We now have a tool to communicate to the people on the shop floor that our performance can improve. Customers can see and believe in what we’re doing to improve on time delivery. The OEE data provided improves human as well as machine-to-machine communications. We believe we can use Memex Automation data to motivate employees with a shared understanding of how we can be more productive, and that’s what it’s all about.”

Immediate visibility of production status and comprehensive data collection is vital for a competitive advantage.

According to John Rattray, a senior executive with Memex Automation recently discussed Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) as a key performance indicator: “OEE Indicates whether a machine is running at optimum capacity and producing quality output and OEE measurements can help companies avoid downtime and reduce lost production…it can be applied to work cells, lines, areas, or plants.”

Dr. Ellie Drake, founder of Braveheart Productions, is hosting The Summer Extravaganza For Women. This teleseminar event showcases female experts who will cover topics from passion to prosperity.

Food Quality Assurance Managers are being instructed to prevent problems and require a real-time performance OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) dashboard to view the plant. These data must capture metrics from each machine as well as run time, down time, cycle time, production rate. Other data needed include production and scrap counts and process (dwell, duration, inject, form, fill) time.

No business owner likes to think that something unpleasant might happen to their company. But unless these problems and worst-case scenarios are confronted in advance, the costs of being unprepared can be astronomical.

According to John Rattray, a senior executive with Memex Automation, “Success with Memex Products and Services uniquely increases efficiency to monitor and control machine tools. We are delighted to share immediate visibility of production status and comprehensive data collection to Héroux-Devtek which realize a competitive advantage. Memex Automation understands the need to be more competitive - by automating the information flow companies can manage productivity.”

Memex Automation Inc., a unit of Astrix Networks Inc., was created to leverage the research and development of Memex Electronics, which was founded in 1992. Memex continues its tradition of serving the discrete manufacturing sector, supplying component hardware, memory upgrades, and visionary shop floor communication technology. Memex products allow a manufacturer to “Automate the Automation” to increase productivity and decrease costs. Memex Automation focuses on delivering value with Real-Time Machine Monitoring and Control, which utilizes OEE+DNC solutions that boost efficiency by up to twenty percent with minimal capital investment. Memex is based in Burlington, Ontario.

When manufacturers benchmark by real-time accurate measurement, the current level of productivity using OEE as the metric, provides an accurate picture of the true efficiency of manufacturing operation(s). Analysis of the data collected allows a company to continuously improve problem areas quickly, which leads to increased productivity in the near and long term.

While many systems say they automate shop floor data collection Memex Automation does it automatically and directly in real-time. Operator Bar code scanning of work order status and keying in part counts, reject counts, reject classifications, down time reason codes all are inefficient and prone to error.

Immediate visibility of production status and comprehensive data collection is vital for a competitive advantage. In a recent issue of IT Business, http://www.itbusiness.ca/it/client/en/home/News.asp?id=57875, Joe Kus at Hereux Devtek detailed the benefits the aerospace firm has derived in working with Memex Automation including:

According to John Rattray, a senior executive with Memex Automation, “Our mission is to save manufacturing by increasing efficiency…usually five to twenty percent. By using our patent pending technology, we can uniquely increase efficiency to monitor and control your machine tools.”

Few industries operate on as tight a margin as food manufacturing. The ability to develop accurate job cost data and production standards is make or break.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics of ANY and ALL machines with a direct hardware connection typically increase efficiency by 5 to 20 percent. Immediate visibility of production status and comprehensive data collection creates a competitive advantage. Memex Automation details that automating the information flow companies can manage productivity.

Over the past decade, www.sol-group.net language courses like TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, etc, have gained huge popularity in non-English speaking countries or countries that do not have English as the first language. The foremost reason for this trend has been the tremendous surge in the number of people immigrating to English speaking countries (mainly the U.S., U.K., and Australia).

According to David McPhail, President and CEO of Memex Automation, “Modern manufacturing equipment costs the same (in equivalent currencies) across all manufacturing jurisdictions (North America, Europe, China, India, etc.). Raw materials are priced as commodities in a common currency (usually USD). It is the cost of labor that varies widely between manufacturing zones. The true cost of labor contains all the usual overhead costs that manufacturers are required to pay (taxes, health care costs, insurance, burdens, etc), and is not necessarily limited to what the employee is paid on an hourly basis. These "grey" costs also vary widely between developed and developing manufacturing zones.”
