Prof. Vincenzo Piuri, IEEE Fellow
2 March 2017

Date & Time: March 2 (Thu), 2017, 14:30
Place: The University of Tokyo, Engineering Building 2, 12th Floor, Dept EE&IS Meeting Room 4
Abstract :
Adaptability and advanced services for industrial manufacturing require an intelligent technological support for understanding the production process characteristics also in complex situations. Quality control is specifically one of the activities in manufacturing which is very critical for ensuring high-quality products and competitiveness on the market. Computational intelligence can provide additional flexible techniques for designing and implementing monitoring and control systems, which can be configured from behavioral examples or by mimicking approximate reasoning processes to achieve adaptable systems. This talk will analyze the opportunities offered by computational intelligence technologies to support the realization of adaptable operations and intelligent services in industrial applications, specifically focusing on manufacturing processes and quality control.
