AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: To ensure the knowledge and tools that
are necessary for the design and implementation of contemporary industrial manufacturing
systems Special attention is paid to the different subsystems and elements as well as to the
control of the automated manufacturing systems. The course material is illustrated with
examples of the recent achievements of production system automation and CIM and their
requirements.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE: Main course topics: Introduction to the manufacturing
systems; Interaction and interdependence between the product design and the manufacturing
process; Technical resources for manufacturing; Design and structuring of manufacturing
systems; Subsystems’ analysis; Elements of the manufacturing systems; Levels of automation
and related control requirements; Studies of examples to illustrate the components’ base for
the manufacturing systems; Systematic approach to the manufacturing systems; System
concepts, examples, communication and control; Concurrent engineering; Examples for
automated manufacturing systems of leading and home companies; Social-economic and
environmental aspects from the implementation of manufacturing systems.
