The model for Computer Integrated Manufacturing Architecture
Effective integration of all manufacturing function is one of the best ways to achieve higher productivity, reduce the design, planning, manufacturing, and delivery time; and to improve the overall performance of a factory. Therefore, this paper describes the CIM architecture considering computer-aided process planning(CAPP) system, programmable logic controller(PLC) for on-line control, bar-code system for point of sales(POS) management, and automated storage/retrieval system(AS/RS) in manufacturing systems.
