Abstract

This paper outlines present and future directions for software in a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. The three major CIM components--production management, data management, and communications management--are described in terms of software available today and future software based on emerging international standards. Key standards efforts such as product data exchange, open systems interfaces, database systems frameworks, and CIM frameworks are described.
