Abstract
In the development of programming languages, or in a broader sense, of tools and languages, a milestone for manufacturing has been reached in two distinct areas, namely factory-information processing and factory automation; many excellent but specialized tools and languages have been developed. There are numerous but independent computer aids for most activities within a factory, e. g. production control, factory data collection, material handling and process control.
This paper discusses software for numerical control of machine tools, robots, process control and general data processing. Until to date, the languages and computers for these applications have been developed independently. For this reason it is very difficult to design a homogeneous computer integrated manufacturing system. The future modernization of factories will strongly be influenced by the development of general purpose programming languages and compatible computing systems. Furthermore, the controls of processing equipment have to be made computer compatible. For the factory of the ninetieth, expert systems will be available which perform the majority of all routine tasks.
