Brian Jackson writes an excellent article in IT Business Canada, that discusses how Memex Automation helped Rose Integration and is titled:
As the article starts of, "When Ryan Bishop took on his new job as operations manager at Carleton
Place, Ont.-based Rose Integration in the summer of 2010 he had a plan
on how to keep tabs on the manufacturer’s shop floor productivity –
every hour the machine operators would write the number of parts they
made on a white board and the foreman would photograph the numbers and
type them into a spreadsheet."
David McPhail was quoted in the article, "“I take every signal I can get off that machine that tells me if it’s
running and if it’s not, why it’s not,” says David McPhail, CEO of Memex
Automation. “We walk into a plant full of equipment and we don’t care
about the vintage, the type, the model, we can connect to it.”
Brian Jackson ends his article with, "In fact, Memex has become Bishop’s new night supervisor. He has alerts
sent to his phone if a machine is seeing too much down time. Then he can
call in to inquire about why that’s happening and get his workers back
on track."
That's a great way to think about what we do at Memex - we watch your systems so you don't have to.
