t. e. Smart manufacturing[ 1 ] is a broad category of manufacturing that employs computer-integrated manufacturing, high levels of adaptability and rapid design changes, digital information technology, and more flexible technical workforce training. [ 2 ] Other goals sometimes include fast changes in production levels based on demand, [ 3 ][ 1 ...
Digital manufacturing is an integrated approach to manufacturing that is centered around a computer system. [1][citation needed] The transition to digital manufacturing has become more popular with the rise in the quantity and quality of computer systems in manufacturing plants. As more automated tools have become used in manufacturing plants ...
High technology (high tech or high-tech), also known as advanced technology (advanced tech) or exotechnology, [ 1 ][failed verification] is technology that is at the cutting edge: the highest form of technology available. [ 2 ] It can be defined as either the most complex or the newest technology on the market. [ 3 ]
Manufacturing engineers develop and create physical artifacts, production processes, and technology. It is a very broad area which includes the design and development of products. Manufacturing engineering is considered to be a subdiscipline of industrial engineering/systems engineering and has very strong overlaps with mechanical engineering ...
Advanced process control (APC) refers to several proven advanced control techniques, such as feedforward, decoupling, and inferential control. APC can also include Model Predictive Control, described below. APC is typically implemented using function blocks or custom programming capabilities at the DCS level.
Bronze significantly advanced shipbuilding technology with better tools and bronze nails, which replaced the old method of attaching boards of the hull with cord woven through drilled holes. [14] The Iron Age is conventionally defined by the widespread manufacturing of weapons and tools using iron and steel rather than bronze. [ 15 ]
Advanced planning and scheduling. Advanced planning and scheduling (APS, also known as advanced manufacturing) refers to a manufacturing management process by which raw materials and production capacity are optimally allocated to meet demand. [1] APS is especially well-suited to environments where simpler planning methods cannot adequately ...
Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is the manufacturing approach of using computers to control the entire production process. [ 1 ][ 2 ] This integration allows individual processes to exchange information with each part. Manufacturing can be faster and less error-prone by the integration of computers. Typically CIM relies on closed-loop ...
