Computer-integrated manufacturing

production process includes all the steps necessary to make the finished goods from components that can be from inside or outside sources. The process can include assembling or manufacturing. Assembling is basically collecting components for outside sources to make up your product. On the other spectrum is manufacturing, where the company makes everything from scratch, from beginning to end. There are also ways to classify production, it can be discrete or process manufacturing. Then you have a company that uses a production process called made-to-stock, which means mass amounts of the product are made and housed until the product is ordered. The…

A Review of Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, and Smart Manufacturing Technological development has paralleled the dynamic timeline of industry. As technological advances have developed, new industrial techniques have cultivated along with them, dwindling the amount of labor and work required while increasing production potential exponentially. From steam powered machines, to mass production, to the eventual introduction of computers and automation, the industrial revolution has drastically…

Industrial robotics are quasi-intelligent machines that increase production rates, efficiency, quality, and safety in all aspects of manufacturing and assembly. They have the ability to pick up single or multiple objects and place them anywhere within their reach, weld simple and complex parts together, and use sensors to inspect material or parts at any point in the manufacturing process. Although robotic arms and automation are a newer technology, both are taking the manufacturing industry by…

Devices will be cradled on their respective charges when not in use. 3. Devices will be under precision measurement, calibration and testing every 6 months. Riordan’s current manufacturing process As you can see from the above illustration, Riordan Manufacturing current process for the receiving of raw materials is a manual system, which could cause inaccurate information due to human error. With the slow process of each station information could take days before entering the system…

In the last thirty years, end-of-life disassembly has been taking shape and evolving the way we design, produce, and discard products. End-of-life disassembly involves obtaining a product that has already served its purpose to the consumer and disassembling the product to recycle or reuse its components in the manufacturing process. The processes and ways that disassembly has been carried out over the years have varied drastically. This is because the sector is always changing to find the…

The first component of just in time manufacturing that lowers cost is the concept of just in time delivery. Instead of having the parts arrive at the factory, storing them in a warehouse and having to access the parts at a later time, the parts are used immediately upon arrival. This requires the parts to be brought in on a much smaller scale, by the truckload instead of by the trainload. This also requires there to be a very complex logistic system that ensures that all of the parts required…

Generally the higher the production output of the firm, the lower the unit cost of their product will be. Besides output volume, the speed of production will determine the lead time from manufacture to delivery. High productivity will enable manufacturing firms to achieve shorter production cycles which equates to better competitiveness in their respective markets. Capacity management will determine how efficient the manufacturer will be in producing its goods. Over capacity will result in…
