Description
Summary:Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) typically possesses multiple automated stations and is capable of variable routing among stations. Human resource development, equipment operator skills, manufacture of processing tools, products, processes & machinery, research and development are some of the issues resulting from higher level of technology implementation. Industry needs universities to respond with increase emphasis on design and manufacturing skills. With FMS teaching and training in the university laboratories, the increasing capability of engineers provides a distinct advantage for future industries.
