Numerical Control machines are n widely used to operate a tool positioning through computer commands. MIT’s Servo Mechanisms Laboratory demonstrated a numerically controlled 3 axis milling machine.

Control digital computer. The first application of a control using a digital computer occurred at a Texaco refinery located in Port Author Texas where a catalytic cracking unit was optimized using a linear programming algorithm

Robotic Implementation – The precursor to widespread use of robots in manufacturing processes

Computer Numerical Control – The advent of the mini computer where tools could have there own memory.

Flexible Manufacturing System – The idea of sets of machines to make a relatively wide variety of products with automatic movement of products through any sequence of machines this lead to Computer intergrated Manufacturing
