Centre for Integrated Manufacturing and Development

The research activities of the Centre are focussed on discrete products, the related manufacturing processes and advanced manufacturing equipment.

The integrated approach addresses:

• the full product life cycle, including assembly and recycling.
• manufacturing systems, inspection systems and handling systems.
• information systems for the design, process and shop floor planning, handling and operations management.
• advancement of knowledge regarding engineering design, materials and mechanical and physical processes.

Participants
The participating groups are

• Design, Production and Management
• Mechanical Automation
