COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (CIM) LAB
COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (CIM) LAB Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) embodies three components essential to the implementation of flexible design & manufacturing -- the means for information storage, retrieval, manipulation and presentation; the mechanisms by which to sense state, and modify substance; and the methodologies by which to unite them. The Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory (CIMLab), founded in 1987, provides students and research associates with necessary facilities to contribute to the success of this goal. Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) embodies a CIM cell that uses a network of computers to control robots, production machines and quality control devices. The CIM cell can be easily programmed to produce custom parts and products. Educational CIM soft wares are used to simulate the production cycle and enable control and analysis of various aspects of the cycle, from the planning through production.
