Abstract
[Today, we know that cim is the automation of Human Integrated Manufacturing — him, and not simply the combination of existing automation devices. him is successful if and only if there is “friendship” between its elements. Automation of friendship means that we must develop tighter coupling between software and hardware (machines to be operated by the software).The present paper presents the results of a Japanese project addressing the hardware-oriented integration of activities in a factory that implies an aspect of dualism in the role of software. The philosophy, conceptual design and pilot of the Future Manufacturing System Complex (fmsc) at Tsukuba are described and a general evaluation is given.]
