Here is an applications-oriented text designed for upper-level undergraduates in industrial engineering, technology and management. It surveys the wide spectrum of automated systems available to improve manufacturing productivity, including robots, numerical control machines, programmable controllers, computer controllers and microprocessor-based automated systems. Also included are examples of manufacturing discrete items as well as those requiring continuous processes, case studies, solved problems and end-of-chapter exercises.
