1 Introduction to CIM 3
What is CIM ?
Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is the manufacturing approach
of using computers to control entire production process. This integration
allows individual processes to exchange information with each other and
initiate actions.
Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) makes the use of computer-
controlled machineries and automation systems in manufacturing
products. CIM combines various technologies like CAD and CAM to
provide an error-free manufacturing process that reduces manual labor
and automates repetitive tasks.

5. DATABASE REQUIREMENTS FOR CIM
4. Operational Data: Describes the things specific to production: lot size, schedule, assembly
sequence etc.
• Product data:
• It contains the description of the products
involved in the manufacturing process.
• The data may consist of graphic, text, and
numeric information.
• Production data:
• describe how the parts are to be
manufactured.
• Machines data:
• conventional & Non-Conventional •
Specification of machines
• Design data:
• Depending on product complexity, shape
may be defined by any of the following
methods
• CSG , B-rep , Wireframe modelling ,
Parametric modelling
