Application of Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology in Ceramic Enterprises

Computer Integrated manufacturing (CIM) technology of ceramic products is important for ceramic enterprises to enhance the development ability and manufacturing ability of products and to improve management. According to the characteristics of manufacturing processes of ceramic products, a kind of architecture of computer integrated manufacturing system of ceramic products is built. The key technologies are developed, including integrated technology of management information system of a ceramic enterprise, integrated technology of global computer aided design of ceramic products, digitization technology of mold manufacturing process of ceramic products, virtual product technology of ceramics and reverse engineering technology of ceramic products. As their application, the first demonstrated application engineering of CIMS in Chinese ceramics has been implemented in Chongqing Siu-Ceramics Co., Ltd.
