Utilizing Neural Networks for Image-based Model Predictive Controller of a batch Rotational Molding process

We present a data-driven modelling and control approach for batch processes utilizing information from thermal images for feedback control. This work is driven by the requirement of utilizing the thermal image data that is the sole output of the system for feedback control. The overall goal here, like in many batch processes, is to obtain products with quality variables which match the user’s specifications. The quality variables of the product …
