Perdix Software, Inc. (est. 2015, Rochester NY) was founded by Steven L Smith and Jacob R Weidert.
Our Story
After co-founder Jake Weidert purchased OTEX Protective, a manufacturer of arc-flash PPE, from his uncle in 2013, he experienced first-hand the need for a better operations management solution for manufacturing. Siloed information, redundant data entry, and a lack of communication, compatibility, and cohesion between systems created unnecessary obstacles in growing the business, meeting quality and timeliness objectives, and maximizing labor productivity.
After looking at the current market offerings and seeing that there was no one software solution that would address all of the business requirements, Jake consulted with his former BookDecay.com business partner, Steve Smith, who suggested that they make their own software solution — marking the inception of MOLI.
Perdix Software's signature product, MOLI™, is an information processing system for digital manufacturing. MOLI kiosks are located at workcenters throughout a facility, and empower employees to add, manage, and augment production data, create training records and upgrade their skills, and track all aspects of production, linking them to other systems as appropriate.
Perdix Software, using The MOLI System™, builds for each customer an extensible, customized, robust digital infrastructure for industrial factoring and manufacturing excellence, and works with customers and partners to improve the system as needs and technologies evolve.
Perdix Software, Inc. is a proud member of NextCorps and the MedTech Association.
What is Perdix?
The Perdix Software team develops and supports MOLI™ and provides consulting services and training designed to guide manufacturing through the digital transition. We work alongside you to develop and build a single digitalization platform that elevates and optimizes your entire operation.
But why Perdix?
In Greek mythology, Perdix (a.k.a. Icarus's brother; Icarus, the dude who flew too close to the sun) was a clever student of the mechanical arts.
One day, while walking on the seashore, he picked up the spine of a fish, and had an idea... he took a piece of iron and notched it on the edge, and invented the saw. Then, putting two and two together (literally), he invented the scissors.
Perdix was the first to see a simple invention that could benefit everyone.
