Enhancement of an Undergraduate Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory

两个问题导致了美国制造业的衰落。第一，制造企业没有作为一个完整的系统来运作。第二，制造业操作仍然缺乏科学的方法。在制造业教育中，科学和制造系统集成的问题必须仔细审查。“计算机集成制造”的研究就是为了解决这些问题。该项目利用计算和网络设备和软件来完善现有的计算机集成制造（CIM）实验室。局域网操作允许连接主机、小型和微型计算机。本实验活动包括CAD/CAM/CAE。这使制造专业的学生能够看到他们以前的课程是如何相互作用的。本实验介绍CIM系统内连续网络的图像。演示了制造中的集成、实施方法和标准化问题。该奖金将由首席研究员所在机构提供等额的奖金。

Two problems have cause the American manufacturing industries to weaken. First, manufacturing enterprises are not operated as integrated systems. Second, manufacturing operations are still short of scientific approaches. Issues of the science and the integration of manufacturing systems must be carefully reviewed in manufacturing education. The study of "Computer Integrated Manufacturing" is intended to address the problems. This project utilizes computing and networking equipment and software to refine the existing Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Laboratory. Operation with Local Area Networks permits connection to mainframe, mini and micro computers. Activities in this lab include CAD/CAM/CAE. This enables the manufacturing students to see how their previous courses interact with each other. This lab introduces the picture of a continuous network within a CIM system. Problems of integration, methodologies of implementation, and standardization in manufacturing are demonstrated. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
