What does CIMS mean?

CIMS is the abbreviation of English Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems or contemporary, the direct translation is computer/modern integrated manufacturing system. The concept of Computer Integrated Manufacturing ----CIM was first proposed by the American scholar Dr. Harrington, whose basic starting point is:

1) the various production and operation activities of the enterprise are inseparable and should be considered in a unified manner;

2) the entire production and manufacturing process is essentially a process of information collection, transmission and processing and handling.

CIMSdefinition: CIMS is through computer hardware and software. And the integrated use of modern management technology, manufacturing technology, information technology, automation technology, systems engineering technology. The enterprise production of all processes related to people, technology, business management elements and their information and logistics organic integration and optimization of the operation of the complex system.

Therefore, the enterprise as a unified whole, must be from a systematic point of view, the overall point of view of the extensive use of computers and other high-tech, accelerate the collection of information, transmission and processing of processing, improve efficiency and quality, so as to improve the overall level of enterprises.

Manufacturing industry's various production and management activities, from people's manual labor into the use of mechanical, automated equipment, and then the use of computers is a big leap, and from the computer to run a single integrated operation is a bigger leap. As the latest development of manufacturing automation technology, the revolutionary achievements of industrial automation, CIMS represents the highest level of integrated automation in today's factories, and is known as the factory of the future.

The picture shows a stacking robot at work. In the future, operators in factories will be replaced by these robots, realizing unmanned factories.

It has been more than 20 years since the concept of CIM was introduced, and over the past 20 years, the concept of CIM has spread from developed countries such as the United States to developing countries, and it has been expanded from the typical discrete machinery manufacturing industry to continuous or semi-continuous manufacturing industries such as chemical industry and metallurgy.

CIM concept has been accepted by more and more people, to guide the philosophy of factory automation, there are more and more factories according to the CIM philosophy, the use of computer technology to achieve information integration, built a different level of computer integrated manufacturing system.

CIMS and computer integrated automated manufacturing system is synonymous with the latter is CIMS in China's early another way to call, although more colloquial, but therefore unable to express the connotation of integration, used less.

CIMS is the integration of multiple subsystems with different degrees of automation, such as management information system (MIS), manufacturing resource planning system (MRPII), computer-aided design system (CAD), computer-aided process design system (CAPP), computer-aided manufacturing system (CAM), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), as well as numerical control machines (NC, CNC), robots and so on. CIMS is developed on the basis of these automation systems, it is based on the needs of enterprises and economic strength, the various automation systems through the computer to achieve information integration and functional integration. Of course, these subsystems also use different types of computers, and some subsystems themselves are integrated, such as MIS to achieve the integration of a variety of management functions, FMS to achieve the integration of processing equipment and material handling equipment and so on. But these integrations are in the smaller local, and CIMS is for the integration of the whole factory enterprise. CIMS is oriented to the whole enterprise, covering a variety of business activities, including production and management, engineering design and manufacturing of all aspects, that is, from the product offer, accepting the order to start, through the planning, design, manufacturing until the product factory and after-sales service and so on the whole process.

In the current global economic environment, CIMS has been given a new meaning, that is, the modern integrated manufacturing system (Contemporary Integrated Manufacturing System). It combines information technology, modern management technology and manufacturing technology and applies them to all stages of the whole life cycle of the enterprise, realizes the integration and optimal operation of logistics, information flow and value flow through information integration, process optimization and resource optimization, and achieves the integration of the three elements of human (organization and management), operation and technology, so as to strengthen the T, Q, C, S, E of the new product development of the enterprise, and thus to enhance the market Strain capacity and competitiveness.

(I) The functional structure of CIMS

Functionally, CIMS includes the three main functions of design, manufacturing, and operation and management of a manufacturing enterprise, and to integrate the three, it also requires a supportive environment, i.e., distributed databases and computer networks, as well as system technologies to guide the integrated operation.

1. Four Functional Subsystems

(1) Management Information Subsystem

(2) Product Design and Manufacturing Engineering Design Automation Subsystem

(3) Manufacturing Automation or Flexible Manufacturing Subsystem

(4) Quality Assurance Subsystem

2. Two Support Subsystems

(1) Computer network subsystem

(2) database subsystem

(2) the connotation of CIMS integration

1. The connotation of CIMS integration

Integration and connectivity is different, it is not simply to connect two or more units together, it is the original no connection or not closely linked to the composition of the unit for the function of a certain, tightly linked to the new system. The integration of two or more functions involves the interaction between two or more functions. Integration belongs to the scope of system synthesis and system optimization in system engineering.

1) Integration of system operating environment

2) Integration of information

3) Integration of application functions

4) Integration of technology

5) Integration of people and organization
