25. Closed Loop CNC Manufacturing  -- Connecting the CNC to the Enterprise
Published: 11/26/2007
Authors: Sid Venkatesh, Rich Morihara, John L Michaloski, Frederick M Proctor
Abstract: Closed Loop manufacturing describes the use of feedback from a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) to the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to help in business operations. Although conceptually simple, many obstacles make CNC-ERP connectivity difficult ...
