IE 3770 - Computer Integrated Manufacturing

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course deals with factors and principles related to automation systems for manufacturing. It compares manual and automated systems for production processes, material handling, storage systems, inspection, and product identification. It includes hands-on lab instruction in topics such as robotic programming, flexible manufacturing systems, and using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). (prereq: IE 426  or ME 323 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• distinguish important capabilities and limitations related to CIM systems, particularly with respect to robotics, identification technologies, computer aided process planning, inspection technologies, manual or automated manufacturing systems, and automated material handling and storage systems
• select and justify a type of manufacturing system (single or multi-station, manual or automated, GT cell, FMS, transfer line, etc.) for a given production scenario
• select and justify a material transport system and a storage system for a given production scenario
• perform calculations related to production rate, production capacity, and storage capacity
• distinguish important capabilities and limitations of robotic processes
• program a robot using a software interface
• analyze a line balancing problem using a heuristic algorithm
• understand flexible automated production systems through use of the Festo FMS.
