THE ROAD TOWARD FULL FACTORY AUTOMATION

An automation restricted to single operative units is no longer sufficient to meet with the requirement of higher productivity. It must be extended to all production phases with its speediness and precision. The computers allow a complete control and coordination of the entire workshop, starting from the project to the end product. A hierarchy based structure permits full factory automation, step by step, according to the real needs of the plant configuration. Some real applications are described.
