Computers in Manufacturing Information processing by computers – Design of components and systems – Controlling operations in production – Project planning & Controlling – Business related functions Physical Activities performed by Automation Systems – Assembly stations, robotics, material transfer systems, inspection & quality control etc.

History of Computing Mechanical Computers – 1600’s, 1700’s and 1800 – Blaise Pascal ( ) The First Commercial Failure – Gottfried Liebniz ( ) The First Commercial Success – Charles Babbage ( ) The First Punched Cards – Ada Lovelace ( ) The First Programmer – George Boole ( ) The Founder of Information Theory – Herman Hollerith ( ) The First Empire Builder

Hollerith’s Empire 1896: The Tabulating Machine Company 1911: Company merged with 2 others to form the Computing-Tabulated-Recording Company 1924: Changed its name to International Business Machines (IBM) 1944: First electronic computer developed in association with Dr Aiken of Harvard, Mark 1 – 8 feet high, 55 feet wide, 3 – 5 seconds to do a single multiplication operation

First Generation Computers , IBM announces its first commercial computer, the IBM 701 – Sold 19 – Used vacuum tubes that continuously burned out – Were slow and unreliable – Coded using ‘machine language’, composed of 1 and 0 – Punched cards used to enter data and instructions

Second Generation Computers Vacuum tubes replaced by transistors – Computers faster, smaller and more reliable – ‘High-level’ languages developed Easier to understand Not machine specific – Computers can communicate over telephone lines

Third Generation Computers Invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 by Jack St Clair Kirby and Robert Noyce – Integrated circuits incorporate many transistors and electronic circuits on a single chip – Computers as cheap as 1 st generation but faster and more memory – DEC produced the first minicomputer in 1965, IBM dominated the mainframe market

Fourth Generation Computers 1975-Now? Early ’70s Intel developed Intel 4004, the first microprocessor 1975, MITS Altair became the first commercially available microcomputer using the Intel , Apple Computer Inc. founded 1979, VisiCalc, first spreadsheet released 1981, IBM released the Personal Computer (PC) – Intel microprocessor – Microsoft Operating System (OS)
