The goal of this course is to provide students with a background in manufacturing systems control. The focus of the course is on discrete control of manufacturing systems. Students in the course get to develop, code, and implement a fully automated CIM system at The Pennsylvania State University's Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (I&ME) new Manufacturing Research Lab (MRL). The activities of this course for Spring 2004, focus on finalizing the specifications for the new MRL, defining new products, and developing a simulation-based control system for n manufacturing processing machines, a material storage system, and whatever pieces of material handling equipment will be available in the Lab. The control systems will be tested using “simulators”, which are identical to the control panels of the actual equipment, and then implemented onto the physical CNC machines in the lab. It is expected that the full automatic implementation of the control system will be completed by semester's end.
