RESEARCH TRENDS IN CIM

NEW CIM WHEEL

CONCLUSIONCIM is an innovative and expansive concept.

There is a need of utilising innovative and improved computer related technologies for the betterment of manufacturing industries.

The research in CIM and related technologies and the applicationof it in manufacturing industries are progressing towards a better future.

Various developments in CIM components, which had been achieved need to be integrated into the CIM system in a cohesive manner to provide a complete and intelligent solution to the manufacturing Industries.
