Burlington, ON, Canada – January 30, 2015 – As the leaders of the worldwide manufacturing renaissance continue their push for plant efficiency improvements, Edmonton-based Domino Machine Inc. has issued purchase orders totaling $129,186 for the machine tool productivity solution MERLIN for their complete plant from Astrix Networks Inc. (TSX-V: OEE), operating under the trade name Memex Automation.
Memex Automation’s flagship product, MERLIN, enables effective machine communication across the shop floor, speeds up production processes, and can increase machine utilization by an average of 10% to 50%. Plants using MERLIN are able to improve output by more than 10% and related Income From Operations by as much as 20% – 60%.

“We are thrilled to see MERLIN being adopted by a manufacturing leader like Domino Machine Inc.” said John Rattray, Memex Automation’s Vice President of Sales. “Not all OEE solutions are created equal, and after performing extensive due diligence, we are proud that Domino Machine Inc. has joined other leading manufacturers like Mazak, and iMech in recognizing MERLIN’s unique ability to bring machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity from the shop floor to the top floor.”
