Course Overview

This course is designed to highlight the major automation-related subjects within the scope of manufacturing system. Special emphasis will be given to industrial robotics, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), numerically controlled machine tools (CNC), computer controlled material handling (AGV), automatic storage systems (AS/RS) and sophisticated sensory systems such as computerized vision. The student must be able to install, implement, and operate such systems, together with other engineers and technicians involved in working within the flexible manufacturing environment.

Learning Achievement

1. Distinguish different types of manufacturing methods and tools available today such as computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), numerically controlled machine tools (CNC), computer controlled material handling (AGV) and the Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). 2. Manipulate manufacturing lead time, capacity, utilization, work in process, and their relationships to comply with requirements. 3. Design Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Management System. 4. Work collaboratively to develop computer assisted numerical control programming and programming languages to solve a manufacturing problem.
