    The paper reports on the ESPRIT project CIM-PLATO (2202). In the course of this project tools are in development to support the design, planning and installation of manufacturing systems. To increase the utility and efficiency of these tools, they are integrated in toolboxes. As a first step towards the integration, demonstrator systems will be realized and publicy presented.

    The overall objective of the CIM-PLATO Project is to develop an industrial Toolbox prototype of computer based procedures and tools to design, plan and install FMS and FAS systems in the freme of a CIM environment. To reach this goal, three closely interrelated fields of R and D can be stated. These are the manufacturing system planning, the manufacturing process planning and the provision of all necessary information to fulfill theses tasks as well as the integration into factory information system. Beside this general informatiomn about the application areas of toolbox and the adopted approaches for their realization two areas of tools will be presented in detail: technological process planning and process execution simulation and test.

    ( 1990)
    Bernhardt, R.
    The aim of the article is to present a quantification of results and benefits reached in the ESPRIT 623 project: "Operational Control of Robot System Inegration into CIM". Thereby following areas are addressed: - delivery of product, - acquisition of projects, - standardization activities, - technology transfer, and - education. The quantification is based on an inquiery done among the project partners.

    Concepts for the realization of distributed, fault tolerant CIM structures
    ( 1989)
    Bernhardt, R.
    Today industrial enterprises are often decentrally organized. The objective of this is to concentrate resources and capacities for the elaboration of specific tasks and the effective solution of problems. On the other hand, an effective information exchange is required between the various departments which are located at different sites. Existing networks and communication systems are not suitable to fulfil the necessary tasks. This paper reports on R and D activities which aim at overcoming the impediments to the integration of decentrally structured enterprises. The basis for the integration is a broadband communication system based on an optical fiber network which has already been installed in Berlin by the Deutsche Bundespost. The BERCIM project has been launched with the purpose of a conception and realization of distributed, fault tolerant CIM structures using such a communication system. The main tasks of the project are the conception and prototypical realization of distribute d CIM applications and their informational linkage via this communication system. Therefor the communication kernel, transport system and a management information system have to be realized. For the communication system and the distributed CIM applications local and network overlapping fault tolerant procedures are to be considered.
