Wie die Fertigung (zunächst) nicht in den Computer kam. Der schwierige Prozess der Umsetzung von CIM (How Manufacturing (Initially) Couldn‘t Be Computerized. The Long Process of Implementing CIM) (2023)

unapi

Mitte der 1980er Jahre stieg Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) in der Bundesrepublik zum vielverhandelten und verheißungsvollen Schlagwort der industriellen Fertigung auf. Trotz einiger Teilerfolge gelang die vollständige Vernetzung und Automatisierung der Produktion nicht und die anfängliche Euphorie ebbte bereits zehn Jahre später wieder ab. Statt sich der Frage des Scheiterns dieses Konzepts der computerintegrierten Produktion zu widmen, fokussiert der folgende Artikel auf die Schwierigkeiten bei der Einführung vernetzter Computersysteme und die Frage, warum die Automatisierung der Fertigung nicht vollständig gelang. (In the mid-1980s, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) became a widely-discussed and promising buzzword in industrial manufacturing in the Federal Republic of Germany. Despite some partial successes, complete net- working and automation of production did not succeed and the initial euphoria ebbed away only about ten years later. Instead of addressing the question of the failure of this concept of computer-integrated manufacturing, the following article aims to show how difficult the introduction of networked computer systems was and why this automation of manufacturing did not fully succeed.)
