CIM (computer integrated manufacturing) is a manufacturing method, in which the entire production process is automated and controlled by computer to reduce the errors and increase its efficiency.
The DL CIM-PMC03 reproduces a scaled-down vertical warehouse storage station.
The manufacturing cell is controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC) that allows the automation of the processes and the operation of the industrial production line.
It is a closed- loop control based on PLC that exchanges information collected from sensors and covers CIM system functional areas like design, analysis, planning, purchasing, cost accounting, inventory control, or more applied functions: materials handling and management, direct control, and monitoring of all the operations.
The automated factory simulates the assembly of cubes composed of two parts, a metal base and a plastic lid (black and white), joined together with plugs.
The DL CIM-PMC03 received the inspected material and relative information from the DL CIM-PMC02.
The assembled cube is placed in an empty slot of the warehouse based on its colour and the position predefined by the used.
At the end of the process, the cubes can be manually extracted from the warehouse by opening the doors.
