Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is an approach to the seamless integration of computer technology into all phases of the manufacturing process. It involves the use of computerized systems and automation technologies to improve efficiency, quality and flexibility in production.
CIM systems enable comprehensive control and coordination of manufacturing processes, from product development, planning and control to production and quality assurance. By using CIM, companies can optimize production processes, shorten throughput times and reduce costs by replacing manual activities with automated processes.
The advantages of CIM lie in its ability to increase responsiveness to customer requirements, standardize production processes and facilitate the integration of different manufacturing technologies. By using CIM, companies can become more competitive and strengthen their position in the market by responding to the challenges of the global manufacturing industry and bringing innovative products to market faster.
