Delivering Innovative Shop Floor Productivity Solutions Since 1992. At Memex, we can transform every machine into a node on the corporate network in a real-time manner, providing the power of the Internet in a machine to machine communication efficiency.
Memex Electronics was founded in 1992 with a vision to improve the way automated machine tools work and connect on the factory floor. It evolved into Memex Automation in 2006 in order to develop the Dynamic Computer Aided Machining (DCAM) patent that will eventually render traditional serial DNC and memory upgrades obsolete.
Over the years, the vision expanded to include improving the networking of all machine tools, allowing them to communicate with each other and with the computers in the administration office. In fact, the network can be extended to the Internet, which allows for productivity and other statistics to be emailed to a cellphone, laptop or tablet, anywhere in the world. Mills and lathes can be monitored as they work which helps with maintenance and inventory control. By monitoring production as it happens, in real-time, companies can increase their productivity by reducing downtime between jobs.
Memex has been recognized as a global leader of the manufacturing M2M (machine-to-machine) field, and is continuously improving its products to better suit the needs of the manufacturing world. Its flagship product, MERLIN, is the premier industrial Internet platform solution for manufacturing. It is a hardware and software machine monitoring solution, a Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and is an industrial Internet communications platform that connects the last meter to the machine.
