4From a student point of view  Oct 08, 2000
Lacking important concepts from 1st edition that should have been in the chapters on production mathematical models. (Scrap, Time In Plant, etc.) Good descriptions of general machine automation processes. Good overview of NC, CNC machining, covering more in these chapters than some texts associated with only this topic. Good overview chapters of industrial robotics, PLC control and programming, in-plant material handling, manufacturing system schemes, assembly systems, quality control, Statisics, inspection and planning. Overall a very capable text. When coupled with a well developed laboratory, would be a text for a very complete college level Industrial Automation course.

5One of the best IE books  Jan 05, 1999
I sincerely believe that this book has been one of the best in its field. I just hope that Prof. Groover will publish another edition of this book reflecting the current changes in the manufacturing world.

2High quantity, but average quality  Mar 29, 2006 By R. Cox
This book covers a huge amount of topics related to the automation, organisation and control of production systems.

I studied this book for a class, and I think that the quality of especially the quantative methods presented is only fair.

Besides that: the content on the automation- and controltopics, is way out of date.

Nice book (if you can buy it second hand), but money can buy better books new.

4comprehensive and informative  Aug 08, 2000
This books explains the fundamental principles as well as practical applications of computer-based manufacturing in a clear and effective manner. The illustrations complement the text well, and are worth the price of the book alone.

4Great book! Gives a global vision of automation.  Mar 14, 1998
This is a good book. It covers all the automation process of a factory. It gives to the reader a good idea on "how-to-do" and mainly the possibilities of what to do in your company. It is good to students and to the companies that want to get bigger and efficient. Unfortunatelly the programming examples are just little old(languages).
