CAM Highlights (FY 80)
Abstract
The CAM Highlights describes Army efforts using Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) to upgrade its industrial base. Improvements in productivity and quality of products were obtained through the integration of computers in manufacturing. The document provides information describing efforts and points of contact for additional information. Some efforts were initiated with Manufacturing Methods and Technology (MMT) projects and have follow-on Provision of Industrial Facility (PIF) projects for implementation. Of the MMT efforts discussed in this document at least seven have been pacing efforts to follow-on Facility efforts. Other efforts are initiated with only PIF projects for their implementation (e.g. Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant Robotics Application). While still other efforts are implemented under major systems contracts either separately or in conjunction with MMT or PIF projects (e.g. XM1 Tank). All efforts presented were funded through the Army Procurement Appropriation and are representative of efforts pursued through the Army CAM program. The efforts described highlight the integration of computers in manufacturing and are organized into eleven sections for this document. These eleven sections correspond to system technology areas which are listed in Exhibit 1 with their numerical classification number, along with the number of efforts presented in each area.
