Industry Partners
Mazak
Value Inspired Partner
MERLIN’S plant productivity results impressed Mazak to the extent that it named MEMEX to its exclusive Value Inspired Partner (VIP) program. Mazak selects VIP partners that share its same forward-thinking approach to manufacturing. According to the company, MEMEX makes the perfect VIP partner because Mazak knows first-hand how the company can help create factories of the future today. And, like Mazak, MEMEX believes in continuous innovation, boosting manufacturing productivity via digital interconnectedness and helping customers achieve the best possible competitive advantage.
The partner announcement underscores how Mazak is paving the way in digital resource productivity via its iSMART Factory concept, an all-encompassing vision that harnesses the power of connectivity to optimize manufacturing operations at every level.
As a VIP partner, MEMEX will continue to collaborate with Mazak on ways to continue to transform its iSMART Factory. The two companies will also work together to make data-driven manufacturing highly accessible to Mazak customers. MERLIN plays a critical role in the iSMART Factory concept by allowing Mazak to monitor its productivity and overall equipment effectiveness metrics from anywhere and always in real-time. The MTConnect® open communications protocol works in conjunction with MERLIN to harvest the data from all the different assembly stations, production floor machines, cells, devices and processes.
About Mazak’s Value Inspired Partner Program
Launched in 2010 to provide customers with total manufacturing solutions, our Value Inspired Partners (VIP) program brings together leading producers of complementary technologies for Mazak machines to create more innovative products and turnkey processes.
By collaborating on R&D and integration efforts, the VIP program fosters a high level of cooperation and technological integration that moves well beyond individual pieces of equipment. The program also fuels development of comprehensive training solutions for manufacturers across all market segments.
VIP partners must:
- Be a recognized leader with unique, innovative and high-quality products,
- Provide extensive pre- and post-sales support,
- Add value to customer processes and provide system solutions,
- Maintain a culture of ethical business standards and practices.
MTConnect
MTConnect is a set of open, royalty-free standards intended to foster greater interoperability between controls, devices and software applications by publishing data over networks using the Internet Protocol. It is a basic first step in linking shop floor technologies and moving towards the goal of seamless manufacturing operation. By establishing an open and extensible channel of communication for plug-and-play inter-connectivity between devices, equipment and systems, MTConnect allows sources to exchange and understand each others data.
This approach allows connectivity from the lowest end of the process chain, nearest the workpiece or shop floor, to the highest design or process planning tool. And the expectation is that the interoperability afforded by MTConnect will enable a host of third party solution providers to develop software and hardware products to make the entire manufacturing enterprise more productive.
Memex is a proud supporter of the MTConnect standard.
Microsoft Dynamics
Microsoft Dynamics is an ERP software that helps both small and midsize businesses manage their business processes, drive bottom-line results, and grow beyond typical accounting software. The ERP software is easy to learn and to use, and the solutions work with the technology systems that are already in place in your company, helping to deliver long-term value without a complex and costly implementation.
Memex Automation Inc. has partnered with Microsoft Dynamics to bring you the Dynamics AX Connector, which is an integrated module of the MERLIN server. The utility supports a bi-synchronous import and export of work orders and respective operational information to Microsoft’s Dynamic AX 2012 to and from machines on the shop floor. The advanced functionality in MERLIN allows work order information to flow seamlessly from Microsoft Dynamics AX2012 through MERLIN MES to the machine on the shop floor, and can relate actual productivity to Dynamics AX, an electronic traveler, delivering a paperless shop floor.
