Applications of IT Factory: Enhancing Processes Across Industries

1. APPLICATIONS OF IT FACTORY Computer-aided Design(CAD).電腦輔助設計 Generate prototypes模型to be distributed, tested and feedbacked by customers . Advantages: Easy to create, store and revise complicated drawing. Enhance teamwork. SALES RECORDS http://www2.volvo.com/volvoit/global/en-gb/customer+cases/wireless+factory Computer-aided manufacturing-(CAM)–industrial automation using computer-controlled machines and processes. CAD drawing are used to program machines( robot) to assemble, weld and paint products. Schedule the production lines based on the date of completion, quantity required and complexity of design. Evaluate the time required for completing each section of the production to make sure all sections will be completed according to a preset sequence. Ensure that the workload is even distributed among production lines to obtain the best overall efficiency. Virtual Factory INVENTORY SYSTEM
