Practical Significance

Class Orientation Session

Process control:

Computers may be used toassistthe human operators

of the manufacturing facility, but there must always be
a
competent
engineer
on
hand
to
handle
circumstances which could not be foreseen by the
designers of the control software.

Data integrity:

The higher the degree of automation, the more critical is

the integrity of the data used to control the machines.
While the CIM system saves on labor of operating the
machines, it requires extra human labor in ensuring that
there are proper safeguards for the data signals that are
used to control the machines.
