Moving Data, Not Paper, Enhances Productivity

Article Abstract:

Using digital data for information exchange allows integration of all the processes of industry into a product enterprise system. The PES combines people, machines, and programs for management of complex tasks to achieve a well-coordinated production scheme. Product definition from CAD-CAM and schedule definition and management have been linked for a unified enterprise process. An extensive fold-out diagram illustrates the logical and physical flow of a product through a PES of the future. Also shown is an example of a product being developed by such a system illustrating CRT displays as they would be used by people in the various stages of development.

Automating It All

Article Abstract:

Productivity in manufacturing can be enhanced by automating both white-collar and blue-collar labor. Conflicting objectives can be attained using data-driven automation. The entire product enterprise system (PES) consists of transfer and transform of data and transfer and transform of material. By automating the transfer and transform, things can be done efficiently and opposite goals can be achieved. The transfer and transform processes are illustrated by diagrams and a lesson in productivity is also included.

Automating mechanical design

Article Abstract:

Desktop mechanical computer-aided engineering (MCAE) involves the design, analysis, and simulation of mechanical systems on machines such as the IBM PC AT, using advanced MCAE software. Three-dimensional models are created and put in motion to simulate actual physical relationships of components. Finite-element analysis software is used to determine stress conditions in the model. A sample of software products from eleven companies is included.
