CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing)

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is a system that connects all aspects of a manufacturing process through computers and automation. It integrates design, planning, production, and quality control into a seamless, coordinated operation. This allows for real-time data sharing, improved efficiency, and better precision. Essentially, CIM automates and links different stages of making a product, reducing manual effort and errors, while increasing flexibility and speed. It enables manufacturers to produce complex products more consistently and adapt quickly to changes, ultimately improving productivity and competitiveness.
