Abstract

To build assembly machines to best suit the needs of anticipated production, machine builders need to spend much time deciding what type of machine system and control system to select and what kinds of devices to use in material handling. Especially when an expert builder leaves a company, knowledge goes with him and is lost to the company. Therefore, retention of valuable information in the form of a knowledge base is a very desirable resource. The purpose of this paper is to develop a computer‐based expert system that can be used as a consulting system by assembly machine builders to conquer the above difficulties. This expert system collects expert assembly machine knowledge and experience. Then, an evaluation is performed to ensure accuracy and reliability, and performance is evaluated by building a practical product. The expert system is found to be a valuable tool, providing significant information for machine builders.
