SACA EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS (GRADED A+)
Can you give three examples of advanced manufacturing tools and techniques? -
ANSWER-Tools- Welding and machine with lasers, Nanotechnology, Additive
manufacturing.
Techniques- Artificial intelligence, Digital twin, Machine learning.
Can you name three impacts of computers on Advanced Manufacturing besides
automation? - ANSWER-CAD (Computer aided design); CAM (Computer aided
manufacture); (Computer integrated manufacture); robotics, material handling
devices.Led to an increased accuracy and flexibility of manufacturing process.Computer
technology has enabled automation to become more effective in applications other than
mass production.
Can you name three benefits of factory automation? - ANSWER-Advantages commonly
attributed to automation include higher production rates and increased productivity,
more efficient use of materials, better product quality, improved safety, shorter
workweeks for labor, and reduced factory lead times.
Can you describe how a CNC machine works? - ANSWER-is a metal fabrication
method where written code controls the machinery in the manufacturing process.
Do you know the difference between an additive and a subtractive manufacturing
process? - ANSWER-Additive manufacturing processes build objects by adding material
layer by layer, while subtractive manufacturing removes material to create parts.
Can you name two types of robots? - ANSWER-autonomous mobile robots (AMRs),
automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
Do you know the function of a PLC? - ANSWER-A PLC's functions are divided into
three main categories: inputs, outputs and the CPU. PLCs capture data from the plant
floor by monitoring inputs that machines and devices are connected to. The input data is
then processed by the CPU, which applies logic to the data, based on the input state.
The CPU then executes the user-created program logic and outputs data or commands
to the machines and devices it is connected to.
There are two main types of inputs: data inputs from devices and machines, and data
inputs that are human-facilitated. The input data from sensors and machines are sent to
the PLC. Inputs can include on/off states for things like mechanical switches, buttons,
and encoders. High/low states for things like temperatures, pressure sensors, and
liquid-level detectors, or opened/closed states for things like pumps and values.
, Besides alarm screens and error messages, do you know what else an HMI is used for?
- ANSWER-monitor and display important production data such as run rates, Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs), inputs and outputs.
Can you name some Software and New Emerging Technologies in Advanced
Manufacturing? - ANSWER-Artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), 3D
printing and virtual reality (VR)
Do you know the four industrial revolutions and the cause and benefits of each? -
ANSWER-
Can you name some components and applications of Industrial Internet of Things
(IIoT)? - ANSWER-smart sensors, machines, tools, software platforms, cloud servers
and applications. Smart sensors are deployed at every stages of manufacturing floor for
specific applications.
Do you know the importance of safety policies? - ANSWER-Prevent workplace injuries
and illnesses.
Do you know the results of unsafe behavior? - ANSWER-These behaviors increase the
risk of premature death, disability, and increased incidence of chronic diseases
Can you name four federal and state safety agencies? - ANSWER-VP, Secretary of
Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, HHS, Homeland Security, HUD,
Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, Veterans Affairs & Attorney General.
Can you state the elements of an emergency action plan? - ANSWER-Evacuation
procedures, escape routes and floor plans. Reporting and alerting authorities. Alerting
staff and visitors of an emergency.
Do you know how to respond to an emergency? - ANSWER-Remain Calm. ...
Move to a Safe Location. ...
Provide First Aid. ...
Ask for Help. ...
Communicate with the Victims. ...
Convey Accurate Information. ...
Document Your Progress.
Do you know how to respond to a workplace accident? - ANSWER-assess the injury
and receive immediate first aid treatment. Assess the situation and if the injury is severe
or life threatening, call 911. Notify your supervisor as soon as possible. In the case of an
acute injury, report the injury and how it occured to your supervisor.
Do you know when and how to use an eyewash station? - ANSWER-Hold your eyelids
open while the water flows over the eyeballs. Roll your eyes all around so the water
