Press Release Summary: Ohio Conveyor Firm EMI Corp. Uses Fully Automated Nesting
Solution by Optimation

Press Release Body: Optimation (www.optimation.com) offers benchmarking against any
other method of part nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in
material efficiency alone. As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced
nesting technology guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next
available machine, providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor
reporting, and material inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially
and has the most advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its
own capital resources.
Headquartered in Jackson Center, Ohio, EMI Corp. is the nation's largest maker of
conveyors and conveyor systems for plastic products. The company, which sells
productivity enhancement to its customers, is keenly aware of the need to keep costs
competitive yet still produce quality products faster.

EMI initially purchased Optimation software shortly after installing a new CL-707
laser. The company started with manual nesting, then moved to batch nesting, and is
now toward a fully automated system in which orders can be entered into its AS400
computer system and placed directly to the Optimation software.


Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation noted that,
EURIn addition to its line of standard conveyors, EMI often also designs and
produces tailored systems to meet special needs for individual customers. One of the
primary advantages of the Optimation solution is the ability to tailor nests 'on the
fly' to meet immediate production schedules.EUR
For 30 years Optimation(r) has been the world leader in Part Nesting for Optimized
Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product advancement
leadership to industry, the companyEUR(tm)s new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE make previous
nesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation™, allows the system
to EURseeEUR the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them. When a person
looks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features on the part.
This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an area of the
nest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as excessive
rotation.
