Transcript of CAD, CAM and Automation in Production
Automation
Presented By Gurukrushna Patnaik,Babli Singh, Hima Bindu
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to
an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient
operation will magnify the inefficiency.
-Bill Gates
Meaning of AutomationAutomation is defined as a set of procedures and machinery that make it
possible to perform traditional human
activities automatically.

Advantages and Disadvantages
• Increased Productivity• Reduced Overall
Production time• Less floor Space Required • Increased overall profits
of the manufacturing
concern• Human fatigue is greatly
minimized
• Technology Limits• Unpredictable Development
cost• Initial cost are
Relatively High
Design Technology The recent development in the product
design comprises certain tools provided
by the information sciences that
contribute to better ,cheaper and faster
design of products. They are
i.CAD
ii.CAD/CAM
Computer-Aided DesignIt is an electronic system using
computers for designing new parts or
products or modifying existing ones,
replacing the traditional drafting work
done by a draftsman on a drafting board.

CAM can be defined as the use of computer
systems to plan, manage, and control the
operations of a manufacturing plant through
either direct or indirect computer
interface with the plant’s production
resource.
