Abstract
Today, Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) refers to the integration of computer-controlled factory floor devices with engineering design and plant management computers. In general, there is a need for more efficient factory networks than are currently available. To this end, it is essential to investigate new network architectures and study their performance.
A number of CIM networks are analyzed in this thesis, and a new CIM network architecture is proposed. The throughput and delay characteristics of all these network architectures are derived from their respective simulation models. The results indicate that the proposed CIM network architecture has superior performance characteristics, compared to the existing networks.
