Condition Monitoring and Control for Intelligent Manufacturing

Manufacturing systems and processes are becoming more complex, so more rational decision-making in process control is a necessity. Better information gathering and analysis techniques are needed and condition  monitoring is seen as a framework that will enable these improvements.

Condition Monitoring and Control for Intelligent Manufacturing brings together the world’s authorities on condition monitoring to provide a broad treatment of the subject accessible to researchers and practitioners in manufacturing industry.

The book presents a 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.

Researchers in manufacturing and control engineering, as well as practising engineers in industries from automotive to packaging manufacturing will find this book valuable.
