Manufacturing technology is of paramount importance, as no manufacturing industry can exist without it. Modern manufacturing technology entails a diverse range of disciplines and their interaction including Computer Aided Design and Manufacture, Materials, Processes, and Manufacturing Automation.
This module considers typical hardware and software involved with automated machinery and production processes: showing how machines can be integrated into flexible cells and flexible manufacturing systems and, when linked with appropriate production management software, into computer integrated manufacturing systems.
You extend your knowledge and skills within the context of the manufacturing industries, and gain practical experience in the specification, design, and build of an automated manufacturing system You are also introduced to the fundamental concepts for production, utilising lean manufacturing principles and practices and a detailed investigation of a topic of current engineering such as: computer-aided manufacturing, special topics in robotics, and lean/agile manufacturing.
