Task Package 7 Automated factory An automated factory An automated factory is a place where raw materials enter and finished products leave with little or no human intervention. This requires CAD/CAM to program the robots, industrial robots and CNC machines to perform automatic inspection. An automatic factory is a computerized factory incorporating information technology and manufactory technology. Light-out manufacturing 1. Lights-out manufacturing means factories that run lights out are fully automated and require no human presence on-site. 2. These factories can be run with the lights off. 3. Many factories are capable of lights-out production, but very few run exclusively lights-out. 4. Typically, workers are necessary to set up parts to be manufactured, and to remove the completed parts. 5. As the technology necessary for lights-out production becomes increasingly available, many factories are beginning to utilize lights-out production to meet increasing demand or to save money. Mazak Cyber Production Center LG Mazak equips a MAZATROL system and an FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) on every machine, and connects them on the local network. Thus all the machines can be controlled by the Cyber Production Center (CPC) to achieve high efficiency production. With Mazak CAMWARE, MAZATROL programs can be generated by a PC. CAMWARE can generate a programming file utilizing on line information for tools, fixtures, etc. to minimize the time required for programming. With the Cyber Tool Management of CPC, tool managers can monitor the state of the tools for on line machines and prepare spare tools for replacing worn tools. Production managers can prepare production schedules over Cyber Scheduler Management that are for every machine. Mazak Cyber Production Center Operators can check the production schedule and give feedback on the performance schedule of his machine over the net. Planning
