en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 21, 2026, Myrex, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, USA, officially launched the IRIS manufacturing maintenance and training platform. This platform leverages high-definition 3D models of production assets to help operators and technicians accelerate training, achieve more consistent repairs, and reduce the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) for critical equipment.
In most factories, the procedures, drawings, and experiential knowledge needed to keep production lines running are scattered across different locations and formats, making it difficult for both new and experienced workers to access the right information at the right time. IRIS addresses this issue directly at the asset level: for each piece of equipment, the platform creates a high-definition 3D model that serves as an entry point for training, maintenance, troubleshooting, and service content, allowing workers to find the information they need starting from the machine in front of them.
"Over the past two decades, 3D visualization interfaces have transformed how people interact with complex systems in various fields," said Ron Miller, CEO of Myrex. "With Myrex IRIS, we bring the same concept to the factory floor, providing manufacturers with the first platform that uses high-definition 3D models of equipment as the primary interface for training, maintenance, and service knowledge. When every operator and technician can walk up to a machine and immediately see how to operate, maintain, and repair it, the result is faster onboarding, more consistent repairs, and a comprehensive reduction in downtime."
IRIS is designed to onboard new assets within weeks, or even days in urgent situations, whereas traditional digital twin projects typically take months. Myrex uses a proprietary scanning process to capture each piece of equipment in high definition and convert it into a navigable 3D model. Companies can perform the scanning themselves, or train manufacturers, integrators, and equipment suppliers to complete this step using designated scanning devices, thereby extending the same approach across multiple production lines, factories, and customers.
Once an asset is scanned, key locations on the 3D model—such as workstations, components, entry points, and safety-related areas—are tagged and linked to the content workers need in that context, including videos, PDFs, images, step-by-step instructions, and field notes. Tagging and content linking can be performed by manufacturers, integrators, equipment suppliers, or Myrex as a service.
Myrex IRIS also offers a comprehensive set of integrated tools, including built-in workflow scheduling, task assignment management, activity logs, notifications, and reporting capabilities, ensuring that every inspection, repair, and upgrade is tracked from initiation to closure, with clear ownership and an auditable history. The platform can connect with systems such as ERP, CMMS, work order tools, and CRM, and can ingest data from any relevant source, enabling events and work orders to flow automatically between Myrex and the broader operational technology stack.
By organizing knowledge around the machine itself, IRIS creates shared value for manufacturers, integrators, and equipment suppliers. For manufacturers, this means faster training, more consistent maintenance execution, and a more robust asset-centric knowledge base. For integrators, it offers a better way to deliver projects and embed knowledge, rather than relying on disconnected binders, folders, and handover documents. For equipment suppliers, it creates a new way to deliver and differentiate their machines by attaching training, maintenance, and troubleshooting guidance to the asset throughout its lifecycle.
At Automate 2026 (Booth 4474) in Chicago, Myrex will demonstrate how IRIS transforms every machine into a visual interactive interface. Myrex is a software company focused on helping manufacturers extract greater value from their production equipment by making critical knowledge easier to find, access, and use. The IRIS platform turns every asset into an intuitive interface for training, maintenance, troubleshooting, and service, providing manufacturers, integrators, and equipment suppliers with a shared way to keep machines running at their best.
