Abstract
Energy consumption is different for various technological processes used in manufacturing (cutting, plastic deformation, sintering, welding, etc.) and nowadays is becoming a more and more important issue to be considered when planning certain manufacturing processes. Related to this, when releasing a quotation for a givenproduct request coming for the market, it is important to have a tool enabling to evaluate the estimated energy consumption that will be required. This paper proposes a method to predict the consumption of energy in the welding process depending on the same main parameters of the process. The method is based on causal identification and on the NN modelling technique. Method application is sampled in the case of a real database including information concerning pipes welding. The method proves to be fast and delivers results of reasonable precision.
