1.) Computer-Integrated manufacturing (CIM)
Computer-Integrated manufacturing. (CIM)- It is that approach in which the overall or total manufacturing process is controlled by the computers. It is used to automate the function of the manufacturing process such as analysis, rough and final design, inventory control, etc.
2.) Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
Its also performed on the computer. It includes designs, drawings, shapes of real and virtual objects. It has three components design calculations, parts classification, and link to manufacturing. This system is a combination of hardware and software that enables engineers and architects to design everything from furniture to airplanes.
3.) Computer-Aided Design and manufacture (CAD/CAM)
CAM includes the use of computer software to control machine tools and operations of a manufacturing plant, including planning, transportation, and storage. Its primary purpose is to create a faster production process. It is a programming tool that makes it possible to manufacture physical models using CAD.
4.) Flexible manufacturing system (FMS)
It is that manufacturing system that allows some amount of flexibility in the case of changes whether predicted or unpredicted. Flexibility can be of two types
Machine flexibility - New products, change in design, etc.
Routing flexibility - To cope up with the change in path.
5.) Standard for the exchange of product data (STEP)
Arrangement of the STEP standard enables companies to have all the product-related information throughout their lifecycle. It includes representing 3D objects in Computer-aided design(CAD) and related information. Often it is used when users who are running different CAD software programs want to exchange 3D models.
6.) Virtual Reality technology.
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appear to be real, making the user feel they are immersed in their surroundings. It is received through a device known as Virtual Reality technology. It can be a futuristic innovation.
