MET 230 - Integrated Manufacturing Systems


3 Credit Hours

This course guides the student through the processes of interfacing and integrating manufacturing components and unit operations into useful systems. The student will work with conveyors, robots, PLCs, workstations, a CNC machine, and a bar code reader to create a pallet transfer system, a flexible manufacturing work cell, a robot-based inventory storage and retrieval system and a barcode pallet tracking system. System integration will be accomplished using digital I/O,ASCII RS-232 and RS-485 serial communications, and TCP/IP Ethernet networking. The course includes working with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) to implement Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). The instructor will also assign integration and troubleshooting tasks to the student to be completed independently or with a teammate.

Prerequisite(s): MET 200 , MET 220 NET 106  

Students are granted credit for Mechatronics Engineering Technology (MET) courses by articulation after completion of the course competencies through courses offered by RACC’s Workforce and Economic Development/Community Education Division. Students should contact the division to obtain information on course offerings.
