Growing Use of Computer and Electronics
Growing Use of Electronics
Today, the electronics industry is rising at a much faster rate than the traditional mechanical equipment industry. New products of all kinds are being designed with more or more on-board electronics for data processing, control, and communication with humans. Electronics & microelectronics manufacturing place unusual demand on the workplace for fresh environment. Human workers are incompactable with these environmental needs because they produce contaminants at a high rate. A prevailing point of view among electronics manufacturing experts is that human being should be eliminated from direct participation in the manufacture of microelectronics products. It means automation.
Greater Use of Computer
Over the last decade there has been a rising interest in & implementation of computers to, monitor, plan, control, and manage manufacturing operations. There is no sign that this trend shall be eliminated in the future. Examples include CAD for product design, CAM for manufacturing planning, programmable logic controllers & computers for process control & personal computer for everyone.
