Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) promises to be                          instrumental in revitalizing declining U.S. manufacturing                       industries.  A scaled factory of the future will be developed to                better prepare the engineer to integrate various manufacturing                  activities with computers.  Ten CAD/CAM workstations and one                    local-area network are the hardware necessary to complete the                   integration of the existing CAM lab, which already includes scaled              turning centers, machining centers, robots, and a PC cell                       controller.  Once this additional equipment is in place, existing               in-house software application programs will support a                           manufacturing database, CAD, group technology code generation, and              off-line robot and NC programming.  Ultimately, the system will                 also support graphical machine and cell simulation, process                     monitoring and control, economic analysis, inventory management,                tool and fixture design, cell loading, and automated inspection.                The scaled CIM lab will provide the student with insights into how              various manufacturing activities interact in a CIM system                       framework, and afford the opportunity to take a component from                  concept to plan to manufacture, in a safe but realistic                         environment.
