The basic goal of the Engineering Research Center for                      Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (INS) is to stimulate                         development of fundamental knowledge in engineering fields that                 will enhance the international competitiveness of U.S. industry                 and prepare engineers to contribute more effectively through                    better engineering practice.  The center focuses upon discrete                  product manufacturing.  Within a manufacturing enterprise, the                  activities addressed include all of the steps in realizing                      products from early design to final assembly and finishing.                     Research goes beyond current emphases on flexibility and computer               integration, to the next logical step in the continuing evolution               of manufacturing practices.  In particular, IMS will possess the                ability to respond, promptly and correctly, to changes in                       requirements.  These changes may be deliberate (as in new product               introductions) or forced (as in machine breakdowns or material                  shortages), but in any case are inevitable in the factories of                  the future.  The key issue is responsiveness.                                        The research program is organized into seven related thrust                areas:  Design, Planning and Control, Processing, Transport,                    communications, Sensing, and Assembly.  Projects within these                   areas produce enabling technology for the IMS and eventually                    merge via integration projects.  Each project is organized as a                 cross-disciplinary team effort structured to meet specific                      objectives relating to needs of the IMS.  This action is a five-                year renewal.
