Abstract :
Information about neural networks in manufacturing, which will provide some guidelines and references for the research and implementation is presented. The basic concepts of neural networks are briefly introduced. A survey of neural network applications in manufacturing is provided. The projection of future trends is given to help make decisions concerning neural networks implementation in manufacturing today and to aid in guiding research for tomorrow
