A process whereby computer-operated machines assist in the manufacturing process.
A combination of hardware and software that automates manufacturing.
The automation of manufacturing systems and techniques, including the use of computers to communicate work instructions to automate machinery for the handling of the processing [numerical control, process control, robotics, material requirements planning] needed to produce a workpiece.
computer software/hardware used to assist in the manufacturing of a product, such as industrial robots.
A manufacturing process mainly controlled by a computer system.
Software used to control equipment used to manufacture products. E.g., CAM software can be used to specify the temperature of an oven used to dry a product or the dimensions of a product on a CNC machine.
The use of computers to automate some aspect of a manufacturing process. Computers are often used to control the machines that carry out the manufacturing of products in a factory.
Manufacturing instructions are programmed on a computer to automate and control the machining of mold pieces used in thermoforming tooling.
("CAM") The application of computer technology to facilitate manufacturing in the areas of numerically control led machine operation s, robotic production line just-in-time supply system inventory control, and configuration management. [D04027] CSM
Manufacturing software used to control equipment used to manufacture products.
Generally describes any programmable, computerised, motor-driven system of components that functions in a manufacturing capacity.
