Computer Manufacturing Series - This four-part series explores manufacturing considerations such as quality, productivity, computer integrated manufacturing, control systems, factory automation, information resource communications, computer numerical control, materials handling, fixed automation, flexible automation, and synchronous and asynchronous movement.  

Series Titles

Advanced Manufacturing  Quality and increased productivity are emphasized as the viewer sees materials transformed into finished product during the manufacturing process. Computer integrated manufacturing and its continuing influence on manufacturing and the workplace is also discussed. A Meridian Production. (18 minutes)

Computer Integrated Manufacturing - CIM has become an integral part of manufacturing and will continue to make an impact on future technological development. This video provides an excellent overview of the process while explaining general business management, product and process planning, manufacturing planning and control systems, factory automation, and information resource communications. It also covers the advantages of using CIM and problems associated with some manufacturing operations. A good resource to have on the shelf. A Meridian Production. (26 minutes)

Computer Numerical Control - Covers state-of-the-art procedures detailing how computers operate many kinds of equipment ranging from milling machines, lathes, turning centers, and other automated machines to more complex manufacturing cells. CNC automatically measures parts, controls robotic welders, and moves materials through the manufacturing facilities. An excellent tool for providing a basic understanding of computer numerical control in the current manufacturing industry. A Meridian Production. (26 minutes)

Materials Handling - For many industries, movement, storage, and retrieval of raw materials and products provides the key to success...and profits. Viewers see how large quantities of materials are moved most efficiently. They also gain an understanding of the following terms: fixed automation, flexible automation, synchronous and asynchronous movement...and have a basic understanding of automatic identification systems, computer monitoring, robot handling, and electronic control of materials flow. A Meridian Production. (29 minutes)

 

 

 

 

Environmental Practices at Work: Manufacturing - Environmental sustainability is about designing and implementing practices and processes within a workplace that do not waste or exhaust natural resources or cause ecological damage. This program focuses on environmental sustainability in the manufacturing and light industry, where technology and innovation have contributed significantly to greater efficiency in both resource use and productivity. Areas covered include identifying resources and environmental issues, compliance with regulations and improving resource efficiency.

Segments:

1. Identifying Resources Used in the Workplace 06:17
2. Complying With Environmental Regulations 05:01
3. Improving Resource Efficiency 07:59
