    Development of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS)
    (2004) Dhooky, Aruna N D; Sass, Andrew; Reed, B
    This report describes how the latest technology in computing and interfacing has been used in a traditional manufacturing environment to integrate old stand-alone CNC machines, a FANUC robot, a conveyor and a Robot Positioning Device (RPD) into a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Also described are the benefits that South African manufacturers still using old CNC machines could achieve if they implemented a similar process in their organisation.
