ANSWER CAD (Computer aided design); CAM (Computer aided manufacture); (Computer integrated
manufacture); robotics, material handling devices.Led to an increased accuracy and flexibility of
manufacturing process.Computer technology has enabled automation to become more effective in
applications other than mass production.
Can you name three benefits of factory automation? - CORRECT ANSWER Advantages commonly
attributed to automation include higher production rates and increased productivity, more efficient use
of materials, better product quality, improved safety, shorter workweeks for labor, and reduced factory
lead times.
Can you describe how a CNC machine works? - CORRECT ANSWER is a metal fabrication method where
written code controls the machinery in the manufacturing process.
Do you know the difference between an additive and a subtractive manufacturing process? - CORRECT
ANSWER Additive manufacturing processes build objects by adding material layer by layer, while
subtractive manufacturing removes material to create parts.
Can you name two types of robots? - CORRECT ANSWER autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated
guided vehicles (AGVs)
Do you know the function of a PLC? - CORRECT ANSWER A PLC's functions are divided into three main
categories: inputs, outputs and the CPU. PLCs capture data from the plant floor by monitoring inputs
that machines and devices are connected to. The input data is then processed by the CPU, which applies
logic to the data, based on the input state. The CPU then executes the user-created program logic and
outputs data or commands to the machines and devices it is connected to.
,There are two main types of inputs: data inputs from devices and machines, and data inputs that are
human-facilitated. The input data from sensors and machines are sent to the PLC. Inputs can include
on/off states for things like mechanical switches, buttons, and encoders. High/low states for things like
temperatures, pressure sensors, and liquid-level detectors, or opened/closed states for things like
pumps and values.
Besides alarm screens and error messages, do you know what else an HMI is used for? - CORRECT
ANSWER monitor and display important production data such as run rates, Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs), inputs and outputs.
Can you name some Software and New Emerging Technologies in Advanced Manufacturing? - CORRECT
ANSWER Artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), 3D printing and virtual reality (VR)
Do you know the four industrial revolutions and the cause and benefits of each? - CORRECT ANSWER
Can you name some components and applications of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)? - CORRECT
ANSWER smart sensors, machines, tools, software platforms, cloud servers and applications. Smart
sensors are deployed at every stages of manufacturing floor for specific applications.
Do you know the importance of safety policies? - CORRECT ANSWER Prevent workplace injuries and
illnesses.
Do you know the results of unsafe behavior? - CORRECT ANSWER These behaviors increase the risk of
premature death, disability, and increased incidence of chronic diseases
Can you name four federal and state safety agencies? - CORRECT ANSWER VP, Secretary of Agriculture,
Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, HHS, Homeland Security, HUD, Labor, State, Transportation,
Treasury, Veterans Affairs & Attorney General.
Can you state the safety responsibilities within a company? - CORRECT ANSWER Contribute to a safe
workplace by following safe work procedures, reporting unsafe conditions or incidents, and being
prepared to respond to a workplace injury or emergency.
, What are the clothing safety guidelines for machine operators? - CORRECT ANSWER Do not wear loose
clothing, loose neckwear or exposed jewelry while operating machinery. Do not work alone. The buddy
system is mandatory! • Pull back and secure long hair. Do not wear thin fabric shoes, sandals, open-toed
shoes, and high-heeled shoes.
What happens if someone doesn't follow machine operation safety guidelines? - CORRECT ANSWER
May cause injuries or death and also get you fired.
