Intelligent Manufacturing Components for Future CIM Systems

Abstract This paper introduces into the general problem of manufacturing, discusses the impact and consequences of the growing internationalisation of markets and gives an overview of the trends in key technologies of manufacturing systems. Furthermore, this paper discusses especially the need for virtual factory concepts and intelligent manufacturing components for future CIM systems. The intelligence of the subsystems is required in large-scale manufacturing systems to master the problems that will result from the system’s complexity.
