Abstract

In previous chapters, the engineering scientific foundations of manufacturing intelligence (such as the knowledge-based system, Multi-Agent system, data mining and knowledge discovery, and computing intelligence) have been discussed in detail. Sensor integration and data fusion is another important theory of manufacturing intelligence. With the development of integrated systems, there is an urgent requirement for improving system automaticity and intelligence. Without improvement, the complexity and scale of systems are increased. Such systems need to be more sensitive to their work environment and independent state, and obviously, single sensor technology hardly meets these requirements. Multi-sensor and data fusion technology are therefore employed in automatic and intelligent manufacturing as it is more comprehensive and accurate than traditional single sensor technology if the information redundancy and complementarity are used reasonably. In theory, the outputs of multi-sensors are mutually validated. Multi-sensor integration is a brand new concept for intelligent manufacturing, and without doubt, sensor integration-based intelligent manufacturing is the development orientation of manufacturing in the future. With reference to the information fusion problem of the multi-sensor integration system, the development state, technical background, application scope and basic meaning of the multi-sensor integration and the data fusion are first reviewed in this chapter. Secondly the classification, level, system structure and function model of the data fusion system is discussed. The theoretical method of the data fusion is then introduced, and finally, attention is paid to cutting tool condition detection, machine thermal error compensation and online detection and error compensation because those are the main applications of multi-sensor data fusion technology in intelligent manufacturing.
