Condition Monitoring and Control for Intelligent Manufacturing

Manufacturing systems and processes are becoming increasingly complex, making more rational decision-making in process control a necessity. Better information gathering and analysis techniques are needed and condition-based monitoring is gaining attention from researchers worldwide as a framework that will enable these improvements. Condition Monitoring and Control for Intelligent Manufacturing brings together the world’s authorities on condition-based monitoring to provide a broad treatment of the subject accessible to researchers and practitioners in manufacturing industry. The book presents a wide and comprehensive review of the key areas of research in machine condition monitoring and control, before focusing on an in-depth treatment of each important technique, from multi-domain signal processing for defect diagnosis to web-based information delivery for real-time control. Condition Monitoring and Control for Intelligent Manufacturing is a valuable resource for researchers in manufacturing and control engineering, as well as practising engineers in industries from automotive to packaging manufacturing.
