CIMflex ─ the Ultimate in Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIM) for Training and Education Changing dynamics in world competition has manufacturers looking for ways to increase productivity. Manufacturers are implementing new technologies, installing automated systems, and adapting new management techniques and ideas to distinguish their companies and products, in increasingly competitive markets. A common goal behind this push is to link and integrate all the manufacturing pieces together, into Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) systems.

In today’s industry, one can find the most modern machines, such as CNC Mills, lathes or Machining Centers. Although computer controlled, they operate as standalone machines, with no synchronization with the rest of manufacturing processes. These machines are tended and supervised by human operators who coordinate between a specific machine and the rest of the production line.

This situation of operating production lines using isolated work station is rapidly changing as the development of computer technology has enabled manufacturers to gain greater control over their critical manufacturing resources.

Major change in production methods has begun with the introduction of Industrial robots into manufacturing processes. In order to successfully utilize a robot in a production line, a robot must be integrated with other machines it serves.

As manufacturers increasingly bring CIM technologies into their organizations, so grows the need for technicians, programmers, engineers and managers who are knowledgeable and skilled in the design, installation, running and maintaining of CIM systems.

Education plays a major role in supplying the skilled professionals for CIM systems.

With Intelitek’s vast experience in the world of Automation for more than 25 years, and in keeping with its mission to bridge the gap between classroom and industry, Intelitek is offering its customers CIMflex system.

CIMflex Communication and Hierarchy

Intelitek bridges the gap between industry and the classroom by offering the most sophisticated and advanced solutions in CIM management and communication.

Intelitek OpenCIM software with LAN, USB and I/O Communication

This type of Intelitek’s OpenCIM is based on Hierarchy of several computer layers, all communicating via local area network (LAN) for fast, real time data transfer and system control.

The local area network (LAN) is the main communication channel between the OpenCIM CIM manager and the cell managers. It is also the man communication channel between the OpenCIM manager and file servers that may contain CAD/CAM files and ERP software.

The Cell manager communicates the various cell devices, such as Robots, CNC Machines, AS/RS, etc. via USB communication.

PROFIBUS and AS-I bus Communication

This type of communication system is particularly effective in certain automated industrial environments where a lot of inputs and outputs are in use, via PLC.

Upon request by customers, Intelitek supply CIM systems with PROFIBUS DP (PROcess FIeld BUS) standard, thus the OpenCIM system is optimized for use in the field bus area, which is, the lowest levels of the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) hierarchy. The field I/O devices are connected to a PLC.

The OpenCIM software contains an ERP package which breaks down customer orders to analyze bill of materials, check availability of raw materials, produce vendor’s purchase order and schedule production based on expected lead times.

OpenCIM Manager

The OpenCIM manager supervises the entire CIM processes, overseeing the operation of all the CIM elements, ensuring that they are working in full concert with one another for optimum performance.

The OpenCIM manager is responsible for controlling WHAT to manufacture, WHEN to schedule production, and the quantity of products to be produced.

The OpenCIM manager is also responsible to communicating via the Local Area Network (LAN) between file servers containing files and other information vital to the production processes.

As in industrial CIM systems, the OpenCIM manager receives and presents students with multiple reports on the status of the manufacturing processes, throughout the CIM system.

Page 64: Mechatronics_generic

OpenCIM Scheduler/Gantt

Gantt charts are heavily used in industry to plan and monitor complex tasks and projects. Intelitek OpenCIM Scheduler/Gantt chart is a graphic CIM progress report. The actual and projected parts production time and duration is displayed and compared for each machine and work cell. The Gantt chart is color coded and actual production times are collected in a table.

OpenCIM Cell Controllers

OpenCIM Cell Controllers are the computers that oversee the operation of individual CIM cells, such as ASRA, Machine Tending (Robot tending CNC Machine), Quality Control (QC), Assembly, etc. The cell controllers are delegated the responsibility of HOW to manufacture (as opposed to the CIM manager, which is responsible for controlling WHAT to manufacture, WHEN to schedule production, and the quantity). Based on device drivers, the Cell Controllers will interpret the manufacturing orders they receive from the OpenCIM manager, search and receive production files, G-Code, robot programs, etc., from various file servers on the LAN, and then automatically download these files to the production devices in the various CIM cells they control.
