Press Release Summary: EMI Corp. Benefits from Nesting Technology Leader Optimation

Press Release Body: 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 company's new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE
make previous nesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation(tm),
allows the system to "see" 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.

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.

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,
"In 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."
