Advanced manufacturing technology involves the use of innovative technology to improve products or processes that drive revolution. It covers two types of technologies: process technology that is used to produce any of other advanced technologies, and process technology that is based on robotics, automation technology, or computer-integrated manufacturing. For the former, such process technology typically relates to production apparatus, equipment, and procedures for the manufacture of specific materials and components. For the latter, process technology includes measuring, controlling, and testing devices for machines, machine tools, and various areas of automated or IT-based manufacturing technology.
