This is a very important announcement because it shows how Memex Automation's MERLIN continues to help Mazak companies.
As the snippet below from the Market Wired article titled:
"Yamazaki Mazak is the global leader in the design and manufacture of
highly productive machine tools and automation systems. Mazak Optonics
is the laser-cutting systems division of Yamazaki Mazak Corporation and
the third division to demonstrate MERLIN as a value-add MTConnect-based
partner solution. MERLIN was demonstrated by Mazak at IMTS, September
2014, and at EMO, Hannover, Germany, in September 2013.
Mazak USA purchased MERLIN to manage its plant in Florence,
KY, published in Automation.com a 42% increase in equipment utilization,
and offers MERLIN on its price list.
"We are very pleased to continue our collaboration with Mazak
and to demonstrate our combined capabilities to their extensive
customer base and distribution channels," said David McPhail,
CEO. "MERLIN, as a forward and backward compatible MTConnect-based
solution, universally connects all machines to management in real-time,
measures plant-wide capacity utilization and shows manufacturers how to
make more production, generating IRRs of up to 400%," said McPhail.
"The availability of key data is crucial to managing
operational performance. The combination of MTConnect and MERLIN will
deliver performance details including dashboards that open up tremendous
real-time visibility for both individual machines and the entire shop
floor," stresses Marc Lobit, General Manager Sales Support of Mazak
Optonics."
