The Technology Of Cad/Cam/Cim Deals With The Creation Of Information At Different Stages From Design To Marketing And Integration Of Information And Its Effective Communication Among The Various Activities Like Design, Product Data Management, Process Planning, Production Planning And Control, Manufacturing, Inspection, Materials Handling Etc., Which Are Individually Carried Out Through Computer Software. Seamless Transfer Of Information From One Application To Another Is What Is Aimed At.This Book Gives A Detailed Account Of The Various Technologies Which Form Computer Based Automation Of Manufacturing Activities. The Issues Pertaining To Geometric Model Creation, Standardisation Ofgraphics Data, Communication, Manufacturing Information Creation And Manufacturing Control Have Been Adequately Dealt With. Principles Of Concurrent Engineering Have Been Explained And Latest Software In The Various Application Areas Have Been Introduced.The Book Is Written With Two Objectives To Serve As A Textbook For Students Studying Cad/Cam/Cim And As A Reference Book For Professional Engineers.

Offers instruction in manufacturing engineering management strategies to help the student optimize future manufacturing processes and procedures. This edition includes innovations that have changed management's approach toward the uses of manufacturing engineering within the business continuum.

The book is intended for the diploma, undergraduate (B.E, B.Tech), Postgraduate (M.Tech), and Ph.D. students/Research scholars of Mechanical, Automobile, Manufacturing, Production, and Industrial Engineering disciplines. Researchers and practicing engineers will also find this book quite useful. We have tried to make the book as student-friendly as possible. The book can be used in industries, technical training institutes. This book covers the main area of interest in computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) and Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM) namely Automation, Computer numerical machine (CNC), Industrial Robotics, Flexible manufacturing system (FMS), Group Technology (GT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) manufacturing & Expert systems, Mechatronics, Lean Manufacturing, Just-In-Time (JIT) Manufacturing, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) through good sketches and most simple explanations.

COMPUTER-GENERAL INFORMATION

This is an invaluable five-volume reference on the very broad and highly significant subject of computer aided and integrated manufacturing systems. It is a set of distinctly titled and well-harmonized volumes by leading experts on the international scene.The techniques and technologies used in computer aided and integrated manufacturing systems have produced, and will no doubt continue to produce, major annual improvements in productivity, which is defined as the goods and services produced from each hour of work. This publication deals particularly with more effective utilization of labor and capital, especially information technology systems. Together the five volumes treat comprehensively the major techniques and technologies that are involved.
