Page 30 - Sensors and Control Systems in Manufacturing

Pr eface
manufacturing system plays a fundamental role in the new manufac- xxix
turing thinking.
Advanced sensory and control technology is more than an imple-
mentation of new technologies. It is a long-range strategy that allows
components of the entire manufacturing operation to work together
to achieve the qualitative and quantitative goals of business. It must
have top management commitment and may entail changing the
mind-set of people in the organization and managing that change.
However, the rewards are great since successful implementation of
this technology is, in large measure, responsible for the success of
computer-integrated manufacturing strategy today.
