Computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) employs specialized computer systems to actually guide and control the transformation process of inputs into outputs.

Basically, computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) avails manufacturers or business owners the ability to infuse process control into their production or assembly line and as such enhancing the level of production, performance and efficiency.

Generally, process control is mainly used in manufacturing industries such as food and beverages industries, oil and gas refinery industries, power (electricity) generation industries, chemical processing industries, and wastewater management industries where the production of materials from raw materials are continuously without any interruption.

Hence, the main purpose of computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) is to ensure that the manufacturing process is done with better quality, consistency, safety standards and efficiency through the adoption (use) of specialized software applications for machine automation.
