Flexible Automation Manufacturing Cell.
Flexible Manufacturing System . A group of machines designed to handle intermittent processing requirements and produce a variety of similar products. Designed to handle Intermittent processes. Offers reduce labor costs and consistent quality. Higher Flexibility as compared to hard automation. Disadvantages Requires longer time for planning and development. Can handle only narrow range of parts variety.
