AUTOMATION, PRODUCTION SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER-INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING

This exploration of the technical and engineering aspects of automated production systems provides an advanced, comprehensive, and balanced coverage of the subject. It covers all the major cutting-edge technologies of production automation and material handling, and how these technologies are used to construct modern manufacturing systems. The book shows students that virtually all manufacturing systems require human workers as a critical component in their operation; presents an introduction to manufacturing systems, single station manufacturing systems, mixed-model assembly line analysis; and more.
