Software for Manufacturing
“JobBoss customers indicate a time savings of as much as 2 hr./day, per engi- neer,” adds Irby, “which provides a quick return on investment. The reduction of entry hours along with the increased accu- racy of production requirements has a sig- nificantly positive impact on the shop’s overall operations.”

ERP Software Enhancements Include Added OEE Tracking
Cincom Systems, Cincinnati, OH, has signed a strategic, global cooperative mar- keting agreement with Memex Automa- tion, Burlington, Ontario, Canada, intro- ducing Memex’s Merlin real-time
machine-monitoring and control tech- nology to the Cincom Total ERP system. Cincom Total is built with Microsoft Dynamics AX.
“Merlin helps unite islands of uncon- nected productivity information on the manufacturing shop floor,” says Dave Schwarber, managing director of Cin- com’s business manufacturing solu- tions division. A manufacturing exe- cution system (MES) application, Merlin tracks manufacturing operations bidi-
rectionally from the ERP work order to each machine’s detailed operations. It can connect to all machines on the shop floor using various protocols, MTConnect adapters or network con- nectivity devices. It measures capaci- ty utilization and overall equipment effectiveness metrics, and automatically tracks details regarding every event at a machine.
