Features: Manufacturing automation is one of the main development directions for various manufacturing enterprises. It plays a crucial role in improving product quality and labor productivity, reducing production costs, alleviating labor intensity, enhancing the flexibility of manufacturing systems, and ultimately boosting a company's market competitiveness. This book systematically introduces the fundamental knowledge of automated manufacturing systems, as well as the basic theories and methods for the systematic planning, design, analysis, and optimized operation of automated manufacturing systems. The focus is on flexible automated manufacturing systems for medium and small batch production, incorporating the concept of "moderate automation with human-machine integration characteristics." The book features a complete structure, innovative writing style, and a strong connection between theory and practice, striving for a perfect balance between practicality and advancement. For the convenience of self-study, a certain number of review and reflection questions are provided at the end of each chapter. Considering the current state of universities in China, the book is also accompanied by a teaching video tape and a computer software disk for simulation experiments, available for purchase by readers. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in disciplines and majors related to manufacturing, such as mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, and management engineering, as well as a teaching reference for graduate students. It is also suitable for engineering technicians in manufacturing companies for self-study and reference.
