Major Applications of CIM
 Computer numerical control
 Adaptive control
 Industrial robots
 Automated handling of materials
 Automated and robotic assembly systems
 Computer-aided process planning
 Just-in-time production
 Group technology
 Artificial intelligence
Why Use CIM?
 Responsiveness to Rapid Changes in Market
Demand and Product Modification.
 Better Use of Materials, Machinery, Personnel,
Reduction in Inventory.
 Better Control of Production and Management of
the Total Manufacturing Operation.
 The Manufacture of High-Quality Products at
Low Cost.
Computer Numerical Control
 Use Control Microcomputer as an Integral
Part
 Can be Repeated at a Remote Site by the
Programmer
 May Incorporate Information From
Drafting Software
Advantages of CNC
 Increased Flexibility
 Greater Accuracy
 More Versatility
Adaptive Control
 Research Began in Early 1950s
 A Logical Extension of CNC
 Operator Parameter Adjust Themselves to
Fit in New Circumstances
 It Is a Feedback System Basically
Basic Functions on AC
 Determine Operating Conditions of Process
 Configure the Process Control in Response
to the Operating Conditions
 Continue to Monitor the Process
Industrial Robots
 The Word ‘Robot’ was Converted from the
Czech Work ‘Robota’ Which Means
‘Worker’
 Research Began in Early 1960s
 A Mechanism Including Several Degrees
of Freedom
 Having One or Several Arms
 Controlled by A Memorizing Device
Major Applications of Industrial
Robots
 Material Handling
 Spot Welding Utilizes Automobile and Truck
bodies
 Deburring, Grinding and Polishing
 Applying Adhesives and Sealants
 Spray Painting
 Automated assembly
 Inspection and gaging
Automated Handling of Materials
 Manual Handling is Very Costly
 Working Process and Environment Could
Be Danger to Human Being
 Automated Handling Can Minimized the
Risk of Getting Injured
 More Efficient and Accurate
 Reduction in Cost
Automated & Robotic Assembly
 Cost of Manual Assembly is Very High
 Automated & Robotic Assembly Reduce
the Cost of Production
Computer-Aided Process
Planning (CAPP)
 Tradition Process Planning Is Very Time
Consuming and Not Efficient
 CAPP Is Especially Good For Small
Volume, High Variety Parts Production
Cost Savings of CAPP
 Reduction in process planning effort
 Saving in direct labor
 Saving in material
 Saving in scrap
 Saving in tooling
 Reduction in work-in-process
Benefits of CAPP
 Reduced Process Planning and Production Lead-
Time
 Greater Process Plans Consistency
 Improved Cost Estimating Procedures F
Calculation Errors
 More Complete and Detailed Process Plans
 Improved production scheduling and capacity
utilization.
 Improved Ability to Introduce New Manufacturing
Technology
Just-In-Time Production
 First Implemented in Japan
 Eliminate Sources of Manufacturing Waste
 Receive Supplies Just-In-Time
 Produce Parts Just-In-Time
 Produce Subassemblies Just-In-Time
 Produce and Deliver Finished Products
Just-In-Time to Be Sold
Advantage of JIT
 Low Inventory Carrying Costs
 Fast Detection of Defects
 Reduced Inspection and Rework of Parts
 High-Quality Parts Produced at Low Cost
Group Technology
 First Developed In Europe in Early 1900s
 Parts Can Be Grouped and Produced By
Classifying into Families
 Seek Advantage of ‘Design and Processing
Similarities’
Artificial Intelligence
 To Simulate Human Behaviors on
Computers
 AI Can Exhibit Learning, Reasoning,
Problem Solving, Understand Language
 Capable of Modeling, Simulating
Production Facilities
Conclusions &Recommendations
 Higher Efficiency in Manufacturing
 Changing of Human Being’s Role in
Manufacturing and Process
 Decline in Number of Machine Tool
Operators
 Increase in Computer Technicians
 Need More Through Analysis and Tests
