Features: This book starts with the concept of Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) that emerged in the 1970s, and explores how contemporary information technology, represented by computer technology, communication technology, and microelectronics technology, permeates, supports, and impacts traditional manufacturing enterprises. It discusses the challenges and opportunities brought to the manufacturing industry by this integration, as well as the development and evolution of CIM/CIMS technology. The book systematically introduces the concepts, methodologies, technologies, design, and implementation of modern integrated manufacturing systems (CIMS) in the 21st century. It consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of manufacturing in the information age and CIM/CIMS, laying the foundation for the rest of the book. Chapter 2 introduces the basic components of modern integrated manufacturing systems, including digital design and manufacturing systems, enterprise management and e-commerce systems, CIMS for process industries, and the supporting platform for modern integrated manufacturing. Chapter 3 systematically covers the methodology framework of modern integrated manufacturing systems, including the CIMS reference architecture, modeling methods for CIMS, and the application of modeling tools. Chapter 4 discusses the overall design techniques of CIMS systems, focusing on aspects such as requirements analysis, overall solutions, and the design of subsystems. Chapter 5 focuses on the key technologies of modern integrated manufacturing systems, such as the theory and supporting technologies of CIMS, information technology, computer-aided technology, integrated platform technology, and the strategic aspects of manufacturing systems. This book can serve as a selective course textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in engineering majors such as automation, mechanical engineering, and computer applications, as well as for management engineering majors. It can also be used as a reference for technical personnel and managers engaged in enterprise informatization.
