Dick Morley: Father of the PLCManufacturing’s Biggest Challenge
• Mr. Morley, what is the biggest challenge that you see in manufacturing?
• "Automatic machining and the emerging numerical control started in 1948 and we have not seen a lot of change since. Dave Edstrom, CTO of Memex Automation, and I are working together to utilize Memex's products to solve a major problem which is to make the CNC system automation compatible. Increasing the utilization of both legacy and new assets is critical to a modern company and MERLIN will make that happen."
