This project supports a hands-on experience for students in this institution's program in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). Using the equipment in the CIM lab, students learn how to apply existing state-of-the-art technology to a real life manufacturing environment. The project builds on an already existing automated manufacturing cell. Two computers and several work stations are linked to the cell. Students experiment with all processes in the manufacturing cycle - production forecasting through design, manufacturing and shipping. The unique aspect of this facility is that students interact with a common data base to coordinate all production processes using real machine tools.
