18. Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)“With our new filling machines it is possible to provide our customers with high production line efficiencies for mass production and unique flexibility. The CFA 512 fills volumes of 500, 750, 1,000 and 1,100 ml with a steady output of 12,000 packages per hour.”
27. Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)Improved data acquisition Reduced data entry errors Increased speed Increased scope of process automation The Nationwide Automatic Identification System (NAIS) will enable the USCG to identify, track and communicate with marine vessels using the Automatic Identification System (AIS), a maritime digital communication system that continually transmits and receives vessel data over very-high frequencies. The Nauticast-B transponder is a plug and play AIS solution. Enjoy the benefits of the AIS system knowing larger commercial vessels are aware of your position increasing your personal safety while navigating at sea.
45. Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)Typical applications for machine vision systems are: Robot Guidance / Motion Control Part Orientation and Dimensional Inspection Pattern and/or Character Recognition 2D and 3D Bar Code Reading Label Inspection Printing Inspection Quality Control Natural depth perception and tactile sensation allows surgeons the ability to perform pure laparoscopic procedures with confidence and ease.
63. Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)Automated placement and withdrawal of parts and products Reduced errors and labor Particularly useful in inventory and test areas of manufacturing firms ASRS technology is just beginning to be used in large libraries, particularly at universities. It is used mostly to retrieve seldom-used books and periodicals that are kept in storage vaults. It works via a robotic "arm" that quite literally fetches materials from archival locations.
64. Firstly ASRS saves shelf space in the library. It only requires 1/5 space to hold the same number of materials, compared to the ordinary library open stacks on floor area basis. Secondly, ASRS can keep materials in their optimum condition, away from any source of lights and humidity. Thirdly, ASRS sets us free from shelf management. We can put materials back in any vacant bins in any order. Location changes from one bin to another, yet keeping their right links.
83. Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)Computer controls both the workstation and the material handling equipment Enhance flexibility and reduced waste Can economically produce low volume at high quality Reduced changeover time and increased utilization Stringent communication requirement between components
92. Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)Extension of flexible manufacturing systems Backwards to engineering and inventory control Forward into warehousing and shipping Can also include financial and customer service areas
