INTRODUCTION
Computer-integrated manufacturing
(CIM) is a method of manufacturing in which
the entire production process is controlled by
computer.
The 1980s, especially the second half, saw CIM expand into a
technology.
Primary factors that have led to the development of the CIM concept
and associated technologies include
1. Development of numerical control (NC)

CHALLENGES TO DEVELOPMENT OF A CIM OPERATION
Challenge-1
'''Data integrity:'''
The higher the degree of automation, the more
critical is the integrity of the data used to control
the machines. While the CIM system saves on
labor of operating the machines, it requires extra
human labor in ensuring that there are proper
safeguards for the data signals that are used to
control the machines.
CHALLENGE -3
'''Process control'''
•Computers may be used to ''assist'' the human
operators of the manufacturing facility, but there
must always be a competent engineer on hand to
handle circumstances which could not be
foreseen by the designers of the control
software.

COMMUNICATION
SYSTEM
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
All the data and information that flow through the CIM enterprise are generated,
acquired, or collected prior to their storage in databases. From there they are
retrieved whenever needed.
Representation of data,
The medium (through which data flow), and
Networking (of the devices).
