Provides information on various aspects and types of mechanical engineering automation, including complex automation of product design and manufacture, automation of assembly processes. Considerable attention is paid to the peculiarities of designing technological processes in the conditions of automated production, mathematical modeling in technological systems, automation of the design of technological processes and control of technical objects and processes. The issues of formation of virtual production systems on the basis of distributed production systems, the use of CALS technologies and information technologies in the design and maintenance of products at the stages of their life cycle are considered. For students studying in the areas of training "Technology, equipment and automation of machine-building industries," "Design and technological support of machine-building industries," "Automated technologies and production." It can be useful to specialists working in the field of engineering technologies.
