Flexible Manufacturing System
A Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is an automated production setup that uses computers and robots to efficiently produce various products with minimal manual intervention. It combines machines, conveyors, and software that can quickly adapt to different manufacturing tasks, allowing for customized or small-batch production without extensive retooling. This flexibility enables manufacturers to respond rapidly to changing market demands, improve efficiency, and reduce costs, making it ideal for producing a diverse range of products in a streamlined, integrated manner.
