<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\u2013 OpenCIM gives students experience and knowledge in the concepts, uses and interconnections of the various software modules that comprise a CIM system.<\/p>
\u2013 OpenCIM is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) tool. It combines a number of CIM cell and station management modules: MRP for defining parts, machines and processes, customer, purchase and production orders; inventory control and tracking; scheduling and dispatching; report generation.<\/p>
\u2013 Supports numerous elements and manufacturing processes.
\u2013 Material storage and feeding (ASRS, feeders, palletizing racks).
\u2013 Material handling (robots, conveyors, slidebases, pneumatic transfer units, positioning tables, vises, end effectors and tool changers).
\u2013 Automated manufacturing and fabrication (assembly, glue dispensing, screwdriving, welding, grinding\/deburring; hydraulic pressing).
\u2013 CNC machining (turning, milling, engraving, routing, automatic tool changers).
\u2013 Pneumatic and hydraulic systems (manipulators, feeders, presses)
\u2013 Identification, detection and tracking (barcode scanning, pallet tracking, sensors, switches).
\u2013 Quality control (machine vision, electronic calipers, coordinate measuring machine, laser scan meter, electronic height gauge).
\u2013 Process control
\u2013 Programmable logic controllers (PLC)<\/p>
\u2013 Object oriented technology enables user modifications and integration with other applications.
\u2013 Interfaces with a variety of machines and robots by means of device drivers (small interface programs that translate and transmit messages between the CIM manager and the machines at CIM stations). Device drivers are supplied with system. User can create and modify device drivers to suit any machine type or model.
\u2013 Interfaces with third-party software tools such as MRP, ERP, CAD, CAM, SQC (statistical quality control, CRM (customer relationship management), PDM (product data management).
\u2013 Stores all data in standard industrial database format, allowing easy access and manipulation on any level. Data files can be read by any Windows application (e.g., Excel, Access, MS-SQL) and exported to any other application. Easily imports and uses data files from external applications.
\u2013 User can write applications (e.g., in Java, Visual Basic, C++, C#) that will monitor real-time communication and display the data (graphically or statistically).<\/p>
\u2013 CIM Web viewer enables access to CIM manager via the Internet and allows users to monitor CIM cell operations in real time from remote locations.
\u2013 Using Internet browsers users can view realtime reports generated by the CIM manager, remotely track live production cycles in the 3D graphic display, and view details of current CIM cell status.
\u2013 Simultaneous Internet access by multiple users<\/p>
\u2013 Multi-level, hierarchical communication network design, based on commonly used industrial communication networks; allows user to practice and understand different communication networks and protocols.
\u2013 Uses TCP\/IP protocol for real-time communication between the CIM manager and device drivers: LAN (Microsoft, Novell or any other Windows-compatible network); WAN (CIM manager PC or any station manager PC can be operated from any location on the network, such as a remote classroom).
\u2013 Uses additional communication protocols: RS232 (connects PCs to machine and robot controllers); I\/Os (connects external inputs\/outputs to machine and robot controllers); Field bus (AS-I bus or PROFIBUS, optional)<\/p>
\u2013 Full simulation mode: software runs without any hardware or user intervention. Device drivers notify the CIM manager when operations have been executed
\u2013 Simulation with manual control: software runs without any hardware, but the user interactively emulates the hardware by using device driver control panels.
\u2013 Mixed mode: some components actually operate, while others are simulated. The simulation is based on data that predicts and defines the duration of processes. Device drivers are used to simulate operation of inoperative or missing components.
\u2013 Full online mode: Software runs the system according to user programming. Device drivers operate the workcell according to orders from the CIM manager.
\u2013 Stand alone station operation: Individual stations and many components (e.g., robots, CNC machines, quality control devices) can be programmed, operated and controlled as stand-alone systems by means of their own software or the system\u2019s device drivers.
\u2013 User interface is identical in all modes of operation, which reduces the time and effort required for software familiarization<\/p>
\u2013 Fully functional, dynamic 3D simulation module.
\u2013 Accurately simulates operations and movements of machines, robots and peripheral axes, including components such as safety shields, chucks and spindles.
\u2013 Accurately simulates part transportation and manipulation, including movement of pallets on conveyor and supply of parts from storage cells and feeders.
\u2013 Accurately simulates manufacturing processing, including milling, turning, engraving and welding.
\u2013 Parts change color to reflect different stages in processing.
\u2013 Accurately simulates the physical environment of the CIM cell.
\u2013 Simulation speed can be defined by the user
\u2013 Three graphic display windows can simultaneously display three different 3D views of CIM cell.
\u2013 View control: zoom in and out, rotate (pan), view from above, below and any angle in between; camera redirect (reset camera\u2019s focal point), drag camera (moves viewing area).
\u2013 Follow-me camera: automatic and continuous camera redirect; useful for following a robot gripper or any moving object, such as a workpiece undergoing processing.
\u2013 Lighting and shading control.
\u2013 Enables more efficient use of CIM laboratory. Keeps equipment free for actual, online execution of applications and production cycles.
\u2013 Improves comprehension of CIM management and manufacturing processes by viewing 3D graphic dynamic on-screen simulations.
\u2013 Enables testing of the effect of various production strategies, or various shop floor layouts, on the behavior of the system.
\u2013 Allows programming and operation of the CIM system without causing damage to actual equipment or disrupting operation of the actual CIM cell.
\u2013 Allows testing and debugging of programming before online production is initiated.
