Manufacturing process control at IBM
Pages 461 - 469
Abstract
IBM manufacturing facilities in both the United States and Europe have installed computer systems of essentially identical design to aid in the control of many types of manufacturing processes. The basic structure of the system is depicted in Figure 1. One or two central computer systems (IBM System 360) are attached to several satellite computers (IBM 1130, 1800 and 360 processors) via a high speed Transmission Control Unit (multiplexor).
