Artificial neural network applied to quality diagnosis

In this paper, we first make a brief review on the fundamental properties of artificial neural networks (ANN) and the basic models, and explore emphatically some potential application of artificial neural networks in the area of product quality diagnosis, prediction and control, state supervision and classification, factor recognition, and expert system based diagnosis, then set up the ANN models and expert system for quality forecasting, monitoring and diagnosing. We point out that combining ANN with other techniques will have the broad development and application of perspectives. Finally, the paper gives out some practical applications for the models and the system.
