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.
