Reading Area Community College

Subject:

Mechatronics Engineering Technology

Description:

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).
