context_page_description: Computer-integrated manufacturing is the manufacturing approach of using computers to control entire production process. This integration allows individual processes to exchange information with each part. Although manufacturing can be faster and less error-prone by the integration of computers, the main advantage is the ability to create automated manufacturing processes. Typically CIM relies of closed-loop control processes, based on real-time input from sensors. It is also known as flexible design and manufacturing.
