2001 catalog data: Credit
(3-2-4) Three lecture hours and one
two-hour lab
Prerequisites: MFGG-370 Engineering Materials, MFGG-384 NC
Systems, MFGG-490 Robotics
Study the current status of CIM, with definition, case studies, citing obstacles and future trends and development. Some key components of CIM and hierarchy of operation in a manufacturing facility are studied and correlated. They include CAD-CAM link, numerical control, automation, production and manufacturing control, control through proper communication and computer supervisory control, robotics control, process planning. Short summary of planning, implementation, and managing of a CIM environment will also be covered. The students will conduct experiments and projects on creating a CIM environment using computer supervisory control.
