September 13, 2016 - Memex announced the launch of MERLIN Tempus and MERLIN Tempus Enterprise Edition (EE), the next generation of the MERLIN Manufacturing Execution System (MES). MEMEX is currently demonstrating MERLIN Tempus and MERLIN Tempus Enterprise Edition (EE) at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago.
MERLIN Tempus is an open Manufacturing Execution System (MES) platform that offers tools and a configurable dashboard that provides a complete view of the shop floor. Tempus is Latin for time. MERLIN Tempus measures and analyzes manufacturing time. MERLIN Tempus tells manufacturing how time is being used on the shop floor in machine tools, with operators, with sensors and any other asset. MERLIN Tempus delivers green-light metrics and analytical capabilities to reduce downtime while increasing throughput.
MERLIN Tempus EE extends the capabilities of the MERLIN Tempus platform with full Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), integrated job scheduling. MERLIN Tempus supports MTConnect, Fanuc Focas, Fanuc I/O link to MTConnect, OPC and other software protocols.
MEMEX’s software and hardware platforms build upon the success of the current MERLIN software suite and connectivity products, which has enabled manufacturers to achieve upwards of 50% increase in productivity and a 10% increase in OEE
