CAD/CAM = Computer Aided Design/ Computer Aided Manufacturing
It is the technology concerned with the use of computers to perform design and manufacturing functions
2
CAD can be defined as the use of computer systems to perform certain functions in the design process
CAM is the use of computer systems to plan, manage and control the operations of manufacturing plant through either direct or indirect computer interface with the plant’s production resources

In order to establish the scope and definition of CAD/CAM in an engineering environment and identify existing and future related tools, a study of a typical product cycle is necessary.
The following Figure shows a flowchart of such a cycle-

Typical Product Life Cycle
The product begins with a need which is identified based on customers' and markets' demands
The product goes through two main processes from the idea conceptualization to the finished product:
The design process The manufacturing process
The main sub-processes that constitute the designprocess are:
› Synthesis› Analysis

Automation can be defined as the technology concerned with the application of complex mechanical, electronic, and computer-based systems in the operation and control of manufacturing systems.

Types of Manufacturing Systems1. Continuous-flow processes. Continuous dedicated production
of large amount of bulk product. Continuous manufacturing is represented by chemicals, plastics, petroleum, and food industries.
2. Mass production of discrete products. Dedicated production of large quantities of one product (with perhaps limited model variations). Examples include automobiles, appliances and engine blocks.
3. Batch production. Production of medium lot sizes of the same product. The lot may be produced once or repeated periodically. Examples: books, clothing and certain industrial machinery.
4. Job-shop production. Production of low quantities, often one of a kind, of specialized products. The products are often customized and technologically complex. Examples: prototypes, aircraft, machine tools and other equipment.

Better product design Greater
manufacturing control
Supported integration Reduced costs Increased utilization Reduction of machine
tools Less floor space
25
Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is the manufacturing approach of using computers to control the entire production process
This integration allows individual processes to exchange info with each other and initiate actions
Typically CIM relies on closed-loop control processes, based on real-time input from sensors
It is also known as flexible design and manufacturing
26
CIM reduces the human component of manufacturing and thereby relieves the process of its slow, expensive and error-prone component
In a CIM system functional areas such as design, analysis, planning, purchasing, cost accounting, inventory control, and distribution are linked through the computer with factory floor functions such as material handling and management, providing direct control and monitoring of all the operations
27
28
As a method of manufacturing, three components distinguish CIM from other manufacturing methodologies:
› Means for data storage, retrieval, manipulation and presentation
› Mechanisms for sensing state and modifying processes
› Algorithms for uniting the data processing component with the sensor/modification component
29
Manufacturing engineers are required to achieve the following objectives to be competitive in a global context:
› Reduction in inventory› Lower the cost of the product› Reduce waste› Improve quality› Increase flexibility in manufacturing to
achieve immediate and rapid response to: Product & Production changes Process & Equipment change Change of personnel
30
Integration of technologies brings following benefits:
1. Creation of a truly interactive system that enables manufacturing functions to communicate easily with other relevant functional units
2. Accurate data transferability among manufacturing plant or subcontracting facilities at implant or diverse locations
3. Faster responses to data-changes for manufacturing flexibility
4. Increased flexibility towards introduction of new products
5. Improved accuracy and quality in the manufacturing process
31
6. Improved quality of the products7. Control of data-flow among various units and
maintenance of user-library for system-wide data8. Reduction of lead times which generates a
competitive advantage9. Streamlined manufacturing flow from order to
delivery10. Easier training and re-training facilities
32
33
CIM software comprises computer programs to carry out the following functions:
› Management Information System› Sales & Marketing & Finance› Database Management› Modeling and Design› Analysis› Simulation› Communications› Monitoring› Production Control› Manufacturing Area Control
34
35
Devices and equipment required:
› CNC, Computer numerical controlled machine tools
› DNC, Direct numerical control machine tools› PLCs, Programmable logic controllers› Robotics› Computers› Software› Controllers› Networks› Interfacing› Monitoring equipment
36
Technologies
› FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System)
› ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System)
› AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle)
› Robotics› Automated conveyor
systems
37
The reasons why CIM is used in industries can be related to two major aspects:
1. Technical benefits 2. Financial benefits
38
Data, whether quality or productivity data, is available immediately. This can help in quick decision making, thereby reducing the risks involved in continuous manufacturing.
Each product’s signature and quality traits are clearly observed and recorded, thus forming a basis in places where traceability is used
Equipment performance and similar data like downtime can be easily monitored
It is easy to correlate the performance of the product with the condition of the equipment at that particular time
Occurrence can be easily tracked to kick-start Six Sigma projects
Over 40% time reduction in data collection and aggregation activity
39
Reduction in manpower of over one man per two assembly lines for fully automated lines with manual QC checking and reporting
Product data can be easily traced, thereby eliminating the cost of rework and reducing the cost of recall. Estimated recall cost reduction can be as high as 80% with some products.
Quality enhancement using CIM systems can go as far as 90% where traditional systems can reach 70% through quick correlation, thereby enhancing productivity results
Downtime can be reduced by over 80% through continuous monitoring and predictive alarms
