The impact of computer application in industrial and engineering field has both positive and negative side. Whereas engineering field can be defined as scientific field too. Computers plays big major roles in this field to build things to solve the problem.
In today's era, many engineers rely on computer software to ensure the accuracy of their work. Today, engineers rely on the computer to perform most of the steps they need to perform. This is because they can create products, design products, modify products and edit the product as they like on the same computer without using any paper. In addition, engineers can view and sketch their products using the 3D system. This is also known as CAD or digital design. This is very useful for designing new products. It helps to know what kind of features are required by users. It also helps to find out the best way of making things which will be more efficient and more effective. There are many types of computer application available in the market like: desktop computers this is one of the most popular types of computers used in manufacturing.
There is also disadvantage of computer application in engineering and industries field. One of the examples is waste of product by using computer aided manufacturing. This is because computer aided design always based on the design which is designed and produced by the operating software. Unfortunately, if there is any mistake the whole process cannot be done properly also there will be a lot of material wasted. This is because you will only be able to see the product quality and its problem once the item is finished manufactured. It is very important to engineers to know how they're going to use it. Sometimes the waste material might be non-recyclables and it may also be harmful to the environment. On the other hand, these will also make huge loss to the company. As an example, if the product which manufactured is a multilayer flexible packaging. The company needs to take effort to ensure the best way to reduce the waste of the material because multilayer flexible packages will not be recycled easily. Another popular disadvantage of computer application in engineering and industries field is the security. In fact, the software could be hacked easily by our competitors. Identically this could lead to a lot loss like loss of information, money, privacy including the company’s reputation. Furthermore, the company need to pay big amounts to get back their system or to create a new system with advanced security.
Finally, these are those impacts of computer application in industrial and engineering field.
