Extending the use of
ICT in manufacturing
Lesson objective – to understand
how ICT is used in manufacturing
beyond basic CAD/CAM
Video conferencing
Questions
Has anyone ever used video
conferencing?

Using computers webcams
and communication tools
such as skype, have
enabled us to talk ‘face-toface with others all over
the world.

This has considerable
implications for design and
manufacturing: for
example, a design team in
London can watch their
product being made in
Thailand
What is skype?
Task 1


With a friend discuss and write your file sharing and
talk about how you transfer information with others
via the Internet.
Then produce a mind map on a large sheet of
paper
Remote manufacturing CIM

Computer
integrated
manufacture

This means the
computer controls
every aspect from
design to
manufacture to
storage and
distribution
Question- What is a prototype?
What is a mock up?
Do you know what orthographic
drawing is?


Orthographic drawing is a
means of presenting a 3D
object in two dimensions.
In your coursework it is
important to demonstrate
your understanding of
and skills in orthographic
projection.
Software sharing – Task 2
Imagine that your Celebration function or
product was being developed for a client
abroad.
 Consider all the issues that might need to
be discussed through video conferencing.
List some questions that you would want
to ask your client/manufacturer

Finally, we use pro-desktop a lot in
the D&T department

They are good because they
are realistic 3D models. These
CAD models can be used for
the development of an idea.

Modelling is the important
stage of the design process,
enabling designers and clients
to consider the ergonomic and
anthropometric data

What is the ergonomic data?

What is the anthropometric
data?
Ergonomics


Ever tried to eat soup with a
fork? It's not easy, is it? Well,
ergonomics is about changing
all that!
We don't mean making it easy
to eat soup with a fork, we mean
giving you the right tools for the
job. Ergonomics is about
making your life simpler and
safer by taking account of
human characteristics when we
design things.
Ergonomics is about 'fit': the fit
between people, the things they do,
the objects they use and the
environments they work, travel and
play in.
If good fit is achieved, the stresses on
people are reduced. They are more
comfortable, they can do things more
quickly and easily, and they make
fewer mistakes.
So when we talk about 'fit', we don't
just mean physical fit, we are
concerned with psychological and
other aspects too. That is why
ergonomics is often called 'Human
Factors'.
Anthropometrics

Anthro·pom·etry. This is
the branch of ergonomics
that deals with body
shape and size.

People come in all shapes
and sizes so you need to
take these physical
characteristics into
account whenever you
design anything that
someone will use, from
something as simple as a
pencil to something as
complex as a car.
I am known as an ergonome
I am used to work
out the correct
movement and size
of a body. Also to
see how I fit in
relationship to the
product a will be
using
Task 1 – list as many
manufacturing industries that
would use an ergonome when
designing a product
