Abstract : Today’s scenario of manufacturing activities is toward automation. To provide practical exposure and better understand, there is need of automated machines in the technical institutes. Due to financial& space constraints, most of the institutes is not having automated machines for the demonstration. This comprehensive review navigates the landscape of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), dissecting scheduling rules, design, and simulation methodologies, and the integration of advanced technologies. The motor control systems, microcontroller applications, and robotic process automation contribute to a holistic understanding of FMS evolution. This synthesis serves as a roadmap for researchers and practitioners, fostering adaptability and responsiveness in modern manufacturing. FMS is the highest automation in manufacturing industry and work on group technology concept. In this project, the authors are planning to design and develop FMS Simulator for technical institute. This helps students to understand group technology concept, automated vehicle system, automated material handling system, working of automated transfer line, industrial robot and so on. This proposed initiative aligns with the broader goals of academics – to produce graduates who are not only well- versed in theoretical concepts but also equipped with the practical skills demanded by industry The utilization of an FMS with educational purposes started in the academic year 2011–2012 and still remains active. Here, the most illustrative FPs are expounded, and successful academic outcomes are reported. In addition, a set of initial considerations based on the experience acquired by the FMS is provided.

Keywords : Flexible Manufacturing System, Automation, Simulator, Industry 4.0, Robotics.
