Dick Morley Joins OEE's Board of Directors
BURLINGTON, ON--(Marketwired - Dec 12, 2013) - Astrix Networks
Inc. (TSX-VENTURE: OEE), operating under the trade name Memex
Automation, is honored to welcome legendary inventor, entrepreneur
and angel investor Richard E. ("Dick") Morley to the company's
Board of Directors.
"There are a few inventors who are considered an equivalent to
Edison or Einstein," stated David McPhail, CEO of Memex Automation.
"As the inventor of the programmable logic controller (PLC), ABS
brakes, computer floppy disk, and holder of 30 other patents, Dick
is one such individual," said McPhail.
Winner of the Business Week Entrepreneur of the Year Award
(1990), and namesake of the Richard E. Morley Society of
Manufacturing Engineers Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer
Award, Morley grew up on the streets of New York (Queens), before
starting a family with Shirley, whom he was married to for 50
years.
When asked why he joined the Company as a Director, Morley said:
"It is about time that CNC machines join the concept of Supervisory
Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA), in an efficient manner. This
team brings the tools, technology and understanding to connect
every machine to management in real-time, showing them how to make
more money. I like MERLIN because it is an ideal asset
manager. On a personal note, it sounds like fun: change the
world, again!"
The Company's flagship product, MERLIN, delivers Overall
Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics in real-time, enabling
manufacturers to enhance production and increase income and profit
from operations.
When asked about the similarities of MERLIN, compared to SCADA
systems, Morley commented: "Deciding how to make the manufacturing
process better by knowing more is a key element. Although my
physics training states that causality is a weak function, it is
not a weak function in the factory! The difference with this
company is that they offer a packaged toolkit that helps
manufacturers make more production and income. Their customers
are measuring ROI in weeks, which means it works."
