Software and Computer Integrated Manufacturing

This paper outlines present and future directions for software in a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. The three major CIM components -production management, data management, and communications management -are described in terms of software available today and future software based on emerging international standards. Key standards efforts such as product data exchange, open s...

Design of Computer Integrated Manufacturing System for Irankhodro Auto Industry

Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), technologies are presented as solutions to manufacturing organizations, which need to perform well in all customer-related dimensions simultaneously. In the literature, CIM technologies providing such benefits as more frequent production changes, reduced inventory level, improved ability of producing complex parts with a high degree of accuracy and repea...

Computer-Integrated Surgery and Medical Robotics

63 . Medical Robotics and Computer - Integrated Surgery

The growth of medical robotics since the mid1980s has been striking. From a few initial efforts in stereotactic brain surgery, orthopaedics, endoscopic surgery, microsurgery, and other areas, the field has expanded to include commercially marketed, clinically deployed systems, and a robust and exponentially expanding research community. This chapter will discuss some major themes and illustrate...
