Trial Pilot for Machine Monitoring 

Memex understands the need to be able to "visualize" how our machine monitoring system works, especially relating it to your plant and specific machine or work cells.  To that end we have found the best way is to physically connect our machine monitoring solution to one of your machines and see it in operation directly.

Memex offers a trial pilot program to ease your assessment of the viability and business benefits of our machine monitoring solution.  It is a pre-packaged trial pilot program involving the hardware, computer, boards and software as well as installation services to make it work.  The trial pilot process will allow you to learn how it works, so you can configure your larger plant operation.

Should you choose to proceed with a larger complete plant installation project, then the deposit will be 100% credited to future purchases. 

Typically, our customers can utilize our machine monitoring OEE solution to increase productivity and efficiency on the shop floor anywhere between 5 and 20%.

This is accomplished by a combination of software and hardware to connect to any machine.

 

The terms for our standard trial pilot are as follows:

Memex will ship a pre-packaged trial pilot system to be used for one machine, containing:

  • Computer, loaded with software and ready to run.
  • Software:
    • ProductionACE machine monitoring software
    • NetDNC software
    • Utilities:
  • Ax9150 hardware control board that allows connection to your CNC machine.
  • Installation manual
  • Wiring cables and may, depending on the machine, involve a Universal Control I/O Interface board (Ax650) of Fanuc I/O Link (Ax750)
  • Shipping case and packaging

60 days duration to review our standard basic machine monitoring product and assess the benefits.

Memex will assist to develop a mutually agreed objective with a scope of measurement to assess the success of the trial pilot.

Installation support provided by Memex

Telephone and internet based support

Delivery will be in 2-3 weeks so as to allow everyone time to set up the pilot project.

Should on-site services be required, beyond the initial installation, travel expenses will be billed.

$4,000 deposit, pre-paid, which will be 100% credited to future purchases.

The deposit goes to cover hardware equipment, software licensing, shipping and remote installation services.

If our product fails to meet the mutually defined objectives of the pilot, a money back guarantee will apply if the equipment is returned within the 60 day timeframe from installation.

You the Customer are responsible for the following:

  • Providing access to a specifically defined machine to connect our monitoring equipment to.
  • Designate a Project Leader as well as allocate machine maintenance and/or electrical resources to assist in the installation.
  • Computer installation, access to power, provide: monitor, mouse, & keyboard.
  • Internet and network connection.
  • Provide reasonable production testing information such as production standards and production information for the machine where the trial pilot is being executed - so as to show OEE (Availability x Performance x Quality).
  • Define a mutually agreed objective with a scope of measurement to assess the success of the trial pilot.
  • Communicate and outline the process to deploy this technology in a larger project plan for the plant and/or company.

Consideration should be given to the types of things to be monitored, up to 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, and 8 relay outputs.  The basic pilot will monitor available hardwired inputs, up to 8 (0 - 24 VDC) such as: In Cycle, Down Time, Alarm, E Stop, Feed Hold, M00 – Block Stops, M01 – Optional Block Stops, M02 – End of program, M30 – Call Sub-Program, Part Complete, Part Good and Part Bad. Standard reporting, dashboard and normal machine monitoring functionality is included.

In addition there are certain machine functional information that may be desired, such as running too slow alarms, program mismatch alarm, operator entered reject causes, down time reason codes and so forth.  We can likely track and or configure these with our utilities and the software, which may, but not necessarily, be part of the standard trial pilot.  Should any specific functionality beyond our standard basic monitoring be required, including ERP interfaces, special reporting and implementation, we would be pleased to show the functionality and address those as part of the larger complete installation project. 

At the end of the trial pilot, the equipment, including the computer and the packaging case is to be returned to Memex Automation or components used in the larger project as decided upon by the project team.

To proceed, please contact the Memex Sales team or fill out the easy "Special Offers" form to the right of this web page.
