A Machine Learning Approach to Improve Diameter Control in Desktop Fiber Extrusion Processes

A machine learning approach to controlling the diameter of a desktop fiber extrusion process with a PLC is developed and evaluated against the performance of PID control. The deep reinforcement learning model can learn how to control the output diameter of the process based on a given target without...
