One company involved in "factory of the future" programs is the Vought Aero Products Division (APD) of LTV which, in July 1984, brought into operation a computer-controlled Flexible Machining Cell (FMC) to machine parts needed for the aft and aft-intermediate fuselage sections of the B-1B ... The system was to be capable of high machine utilisation with programming flexibility to cope with batch sizes down to one; unmanned operation; automated material handling; automated inspection of finished parts; and computer scheduling of the cell's activities.

La Vought Aero Products Division (APD) du groupe LTV est l'une des sociétés participant aux programmes portant sur ces "usines de l'avenir". En juillet 1984, elle a mis en service une "cellule d'usinage souple" (CUS) commandée par ordinateur pour la fabrication des pièces des tronçons arrière et intermédiaire arrière du fuselage du bombardier B-1B (...) Le système devait permettre à la fois une utilisation poussée des machines, une programmation souple autorisant des lots de production éventuellement réduits à l'unité, un fonctionnement sans surveillance, la manutention automatique des matériaux, l'inspection automatique des pièces finies et la commande par ordinateur de l'échelonnement des opérations dans la cellule d'usinage.
