  • Abstract
    The computer´s role in manufacturing is stressed. Among the topics discussed are: a system that allows `window´ viewing; the development of a robot-simulation tool; programmable controllers with data transmission; and high-voltage integrated circuits (HVICs) and their potential for industrial controls.
