A real-time KBS tool to foster continuous process control

Abstract

Improving process control to enhance performance, advance product quality and increase productivity is an important consideration within the manufacturing industries. Accordingly, it is critical to find efficient methods of performing and achieving these goals. The fabrication and production of components within the data storage sector involves a vast number of complex and meticulous processes which require continuous quality and precision controls. This paper identifies the significance of using a knowledge-based-systems (KBS) approach to generically enrich current industrial business applications within the magnetic recording industries.
