In high-tech industries, most manufacturing processes are complexly intertwined, in that manufacturers or engineers can hardly control a whole set of processes. They are only capa...
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology are developing a virtual manufacturing cell. This cell will contain simulation models of a wide range of manufact...
Nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) of a simulated chaotic cutting process is presented. The nonlinear MPC combines a neural-network model and a genetic-algorithm-based optim...
The application of AI planning techniques to manufacturing systems is being widely deployed for all the tasks involved in the process, from product design to production planning an...
There is an increased interest in using control charts for monitoring and improving software processes, particularly quality control processes like reviews and testing. In a contro...
