CIMcell

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the process of automating various functions in a manufacturing company (business, engineering, and production) by integrating the work through computer networks and common databases. CIM is a critical element in the competitive strategy of global manufacturing firms because it lowers costs, improves delivery times and improves quality.

The CIM curriculum uses a task-based design where theory and hands-on learning activities are structured around industry-relevant tasks.

Thanks to a grant from 3M, Lake Area Technical Institute Robotics students will be able to enjoy this new equipment the spring of '09.
